Do the dimmers work with the new Dimmable CFL Floods?

Such as Philips Marthathon Classic65 16w R30 Flood CFL (dimmable)?

Thanks!

Don't want to lose my C4 dimming ability.

No.

I am using 8 dimmable GE's in my kitchen, they work fine with the dimmers, but it is difficult getting the right dim setting. mine start to dim at about 50% then in 10% increments till i get to about 15%

....hmph....

@ $12/ea it'd be an expensive trial/error thing!

Dimmable fluorescents are a hit and miss, and *none* of them are dimmable all the way down to 0, the way incandescents are.

That's not likely to change anytime soon, since fluorescents need a certain 'strike current' to start up.

Hopefully, new technologies (new formulations of filament lights, LEDs, etc.) will provide something comparable to incandescents at a higher energy savings.

Sams club has them for $5.50 each (2 pack for $11). Still expensive.

Also when you get below 10% they stobe off and on.

Has anyone tried any brand other than GE?

We have dimmed philips down to 6% but the startup can range dependant on the load.
