CFL’s don’t work on a dimmer?

3/4 of the lights in our home are on a dimmer. So unless they can come up with CFL that can dim, I’m out of luck.

I have nothing against the idea of CFLs, I love lowering my power bill, but before they pass any laws they better make damn sure the next generation of bulbs can do everything and more than what they are replacing.

They work. They just don't dim. I have CFLs on dimmer switches in a couple of rooms, and I just leave them turned all the way up.
