We just bought enough Energy Star spirals to replace the rest of our traditional bulbs (we'd started in some rooms about a year ago). When I put a bulb in a lamp that has 3 light settings, the bulb hummed quite loudly (and wouldn't dim). We also put the bulbs in a ceiling fan that has the capability to dim as well, and they all started humming when we tried to dim them. My husband says he thinks that since they're running on gas that they need full power to work, so the dimming effect won't work. Are we just doing something wrong, or are we stuck without the option to use dimmers?
