Can CFLs be used in luminaires (lighting fixtures) with digital controls or dimming switches?
A limited number of CFLs are compatible with dimmers and control units, but most others still lack the circuitry required for those applications. Consumers should be careful to use only models marked as compatible with or suitable for control circuits and dimmers when choosing lamps for those luminaires.
