O.K., I have been looking for dimmable CF builds for some time.
FINALLY I found some - but I am pretty disappointed with them!
So they do dim, BUT I NEED them to dim WAY more than they do - but incandescent just are out of the question (long story, but bottom line, can't use them without LOTS of problems from others here).
So I NEED something that has a low draw, but or the high end puts out the equivalent in brightness to at least a 60 watt incandescent, but at the same time, will dim to equal to 15watt incandescent or less.
The what I have a a 20watt CFL (equal to about 75 watt incandescent), but only dims to what looks like about 40watt incandescent (far too bright or the low end).
So now what can I do to have the low wattage with the brightness when needed, but at the same time, be able to dim it just as much as you can an incandescent?
