Dimmable CFL's Hit The Market

The only drawback to using CFL bulbs was that they were unable to function on dimmer switches, which are great for setting the mood. I mean CFL's produce the same amount of light as the old bulbs, they are the same colour, and they're compact enough to fit into any light fixture. Well it seem that there is no excuse now to not using CFL's. florescent bulbs are either on or off, untill now.

"The UK’s first fully dimmable energy efficient light bulb was launched today, as part of a Greenpeace initiative at 100% Design London. Greenpeace commissioned top designer Jason Bruges to create an interactive garden of light, which responds to human movement through “touch pads” dotted around the installation. This is the first lighting project of its kind in the world to use fully dimmable, compact fluorescent bulbs." - Kate

There's no reason not to have CFL's lighting your how, if its the cost just replace them one bulb at a time, or keep your eyes peeled for sales.
