Yes, here in the U.S. you can a variety of CFL’s. Dimmable, light color, and cold weather ballast type. If people spent 10 minutes doing some searching on the net rather then spew out absurdities! Heck-I found a plethora of them on eBay-48 for $50 U.S. and they were dimmable, plus that included shipping. And as far as the dreaded mercury references, you probably get more contact with it at a salad bar. These are the same people who probably swore they would never have ‘one of those things’-a home computer. But noooooooo, it’s all about Communism. Idiots.

Check this out as an example....

Thanks, it looks like most of these negative comments are coming simply from a lack of knowledge. Also, we don’t notice any significant “warm up” time with our bulbs. They come on instantly without any flickering.

Not to mention the amount of mercury in one bulb is 1/100th what old thermometers used to have.
