Q&A #0001

Question:

I recently changed all the light bulbs in my house from incandescent to energy saving CFL bulbs in an effort to reduce energy cost. Now my dimmer switches don't dim the lights, they are either on or off. Why is that?

Answer:

Most CFL light bulbs, though energy efficient, are not dimmable. Dimmable CFL bulbs are available and will work with your existing dimmer switches. Just be sure the package says "dimmable" and that the total wattage of the bulbs you are using doesn't exceed the dimmers maximum capacity, usually 600 watts.
