[Shop-talk] CFLs, a correction

[Mark Miller]

Just saw the box they came in: not FEIT, but ULA (U lighting America
[product of China]).
They work really well, except for the one dud I got just a day out of.

FYI: they don't work well with magnetic dimmers.  These are the fancy and
pricey ones that can dim from multiple locations.  The bulbs blink a bit
when set to off.  

The FEIT dimmables are often sold here with a PGE subsidy and sell for $1.
Even with a shorter life they are a good deal.


I second seeing a shortened life when burning base up.
