  • What about a fan with four bulbs, should I add each bulb to know which type of dimmer to get

  • CFL bulbs contain a ballast in the base of the bulb. Dimmers work by turning the bulb off and on very quickly, so in the interval when the bulb is off, it is saving power. Shorter off intervals brighten the bulb, and longer off intervals dim the bulb. Its possible to get dimmers made especially for CFL's or the simpler and cheaper option is to buy CFL's marked as dimmable.

  • I think this is one of the tapes they show the terorists to get them to talk

  • Question: How come they won't let you use dimmer switches on compact fluorescent bulbs?

  • neat, this will probably come in handy when I have a house of my own...

  • That was... complicated... :)

  • Wow...seems easy enough! I might try this one day. And if I don't get electrocuted in the process, I'll follow-up with an update on how it all went LOL =)
