Derek,
I'm at Sight Village, and it appears that they do not sell any low
energy bulbs which work with a dimmer switch.
I have this dimmable type at home, so when I get back, I'll try to
remember to check on what they are.
George.

Hi Tristram
RNIB has this bulb in their catalogue.
Catalogue number: DH284ES Energy Saving Day Light Bulb.
For instant bright light. This bulb develops in to full brightness
quickly To 1200 lumens.
I was hoping it would be ok with Dimmer switch because I wanted a
bulb that will go bright quickly, as well as the Ability to dim it.
Regards, Derek

Using a dimmer switch with an energy light bulb not compatible will
probably just make it flicker and die quicker than it might rather
than issue of safety. Most current Energy saving bulbs are not
compatible with dimmers, one that might be worth seeking out is the
Osram Dulux El Dim.
The latter piece of info I got from www.energysavingtrust.org.uk just
to prove that I am not a light bulb nut. I did know about the flicker
bit because the principle of dimmer switches is quite well known if
you have ever had electronics as a hobby.
