Do compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) work with dimmer switches?
Some compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) are not compatible with all existing dimming circuits. It is recommended that you refer to product packaging at the time of purchase, or alternatively contact the manufacturer for product specific information. However, more dimmable compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) are expected to become available as the phase-out progresses. Mains voltage halogen bulbs provide a more efficient dimmable alternative to common incandescent bulbs and are readily available in the market place.
