energy saving light bulbs compatible with dimmer switches?

I know of no energy saving bulbs that will work with dimmers, they all require full voltage.
There are a few tube tube type fluorescent bulbs that will work with a dimmer, but they require a special ballast and I understand they are very expensive.
Today I purchased a few LED, 40w bulbs and they also caution against using dimmer switches.
To set your mind at ease, and avoid confusion, just go to these home improvement stores and read the warnings on the package.
There are no dimmers that work with these cfl’s or similar bulbs, and as far as those made after certain years, bull.
Since last fall, I have converted every fixture in my house with these bulbs, except those controlled by dimmers, both digitl and analog, and even the LED bulbs are not supposed to be used with dimmers.
All CFL’s are powered by some sort ofr ballast, and if not supplied with full voltage they can overheat and start fires.

There are two ways to solve your problem:
- Buy a dimmer switch that is compatible with regular compact fluorescent bulbs
- Buy dimmable compact fluorescent bulbs that are compatible with a regular dimmer switch.
You should be able to get either of these at any lighting supply store or building center that has a decent lighting section. Also, the page below links to pages where you can buy them online.
