Can a energy light bulb be usedwith a regular dimmer switch?
Some CFLs (Compact Fluorescent Lightbulbs) can be used with a regular dimmer. CFLs that can be used with a dimmer will be marked as such on the packaging. They are a little bit more expensive than non-dimming CFLs. It may be helpful to ask an employee at the store if you are unable to find the bulb you need. I tried one dimmable CFL and thought it was terrible. The light color was unnatural, it was slow to get bright, and the lowest dim setting was not very low. In the end, I returned it to Home Depot with less than 5 minutes use on it. I talked with a lighting store owner about "good" green lighting solutions, and he said that the technology just isn't there yet. Currently, if you want good light while saving electricity and increasing bulb life, simply dim the regular incandescent bulbs you have now (according to him). Of course, setting a dimmer to 80% isn't going to be as energy efficient as using a CFL, but it will offer some savings. I would expect better solutions within the next five years. I do use CFLs in my patio lights, and in some other lights that I don't care much what they look like. But for my "real" lighting, I use regular incandescents with dimmers. Hope that helps. -- Eric

Where can you get a led?
I'm a big fan of LED lights even though they are more expensive than CFLs because they last longer than fluorescent bulbs and don't contain any mercury. (So you don't have to worry about taking them some place special to dispose of them.) Some of the leading manufacturers for LEDs are LBL Lighting, Tech Lighting, Kichler Lighting, CSL Lighting, and Maxim Lighting and they are all carried at discount prices on Affordablelamps.com I wrote a blog post about LEDs (http://blog.affordablelamps.com/2011/04/12/led-lights-the-lighting-possibilities-abound/) and here is a page about LED lighting: http://www.affordablelamps.com/led-lighting.html Hope that helps!
