What about all the people who have overhead fans with a light dimmer? The dimmer doesn’t work with compact florescents.

Same thing with any light that has a dimmer; so all of them are now worthless?

I’ve noticed there’s 150 watt bulbs and 75 watt bulbs but zero 100 watt bulbs. I didn’t know the phaseout was watt related.

You can buy a $15 LED bulb that will work in the dimmer. Made in China.

The 150 is still legal although only "single pack" sales, and they consider it an assault bulb only to be used for "specialty" purposes.
