msgreenf Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I still have builder bulk bulbs in mine and they work fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 ? What TYPE of bulbs? All incandescent bulbs should work fine, but my guess is that's not what you mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFUG Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 ^Right. At $15 are not going to get LED and CF are not mainstream anymore. IC for $15- Gold filament?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calbear Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I'll add my question to this thread: is there a way to know (without damaging a dimmer) which LED bulbs and floods would be compatible? And same question for the dim-able CFLs with standard medium-base screw threads -- can one use any of them with a standard C4 dimmer? Or does one need to swap out for the ELV dimmer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyknight Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Floods are basically incandescent - they'll work with the normal dimmer. Note that some floods themselves don't like to be dimmed, but that won't hurt the dimmer as such, though it might the bulb.If not incandescent then the "normal" rules apply.Dimmable CFL's should only be used with the ELV.I've posted pretty much every other spec of importance in that link so look there. The trick would be finding those specs for the bulbs you're looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
