we're changing all of our bulbs but we have a hanging light on a dimmer switch. with the new bulbs, if the light is not either on or off, it makes a wierd humming noise. it doesn't seem right. maybe i should stick with my regular bulbs for that one?

No you can't use the ordinary cfl bulbs with a dimmer switch they burn out faster. There are cfl bulbs that you can use with a dimmer switch check the package. Look at the following website to find out all you need to know about the new cfl bulbs.

Nope only use them on my fan lights.
They work well with them..
but i don't think i would want to try them with a dimmer switch.
If its humming i would just call the manufacture on the box of the globs package and see what they say..
I wouldn't be using them.. i would stick with the normal globs..
But the manufacture might have another product for dimmers.
Check it out.. i don't feel you will loose anything by asking.

Most of them can't be dimmed. There might be some special ones out there that can, but you will definitely be paying more for them.
