I saw this **** on the news last night. Why not just ration out electricity usage per person. I'm gonna go stand in line to get my share for the week.
Can you dim a CFL????? If not then all of the money I spent on kick *** 2-way X10 dimmers to save electricity is gone.

On the good side the GE installations guy told us that our facility is one of the most interference free he's ever seen. Which means better quality scans from the machine.

Can I use a compact fluorescent light bulb with a dimmer switch?
To use a compact fluorescent bulb on a dimmer switch, you must buy a bulb that's specifically made to work with dimmers (check the package). GE makes a dimming compact fluorescent light bulb (called the Energy Smart Dimming Spirals®) that is specially designed for use with dimming switches. We don't recommend using regular compact fluorescent bulbs with dimming switches, since this can shorten bulb life. (Using a regular compact fluorescent bulb with a dimmer will also nullify the bulb's warranty.)
