“Yes, I use three dimmable indoor floods in my kitchen.”
Hmm! That’s interesting. You have to use a Variac on regular F-tubes. And a Variac is rather expensive. I have three of them for some neon stuff. What kind of dimmer is it. Do the F-bulbs work with a regular dimmer switch?

Yup...they’re made by Philips and I got them at Walmart. Dimmable indoor flood work with my existing dimmer switch.

Here’s another good site that has dimmable CF options:

Then click on ‘specifications’. Look like they are a little less that $10 each for use in replacement applications, and that they’ll last about a year at 16 hours per day.
