Going Green with Dimmable Fluorescents
Dimmable versions of compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) allow adjustment of lighting levels to meet user requirements and increase occupant comfort. CFLs produce about 4 times as much light as an incandescent lamp of the same wattage and can last ten times longer. Dimmable CFLs can save additional energy. The use of dimmable CFLs is increasing due to improved product availability and reliability. The color rendition of many models is similar to an incandescent lamp.
