Guess what people Dimmer switches do not work with flourecent light bulbs.
How many of you acutally have a dimmer in your home, restaurants & dance bars use them too. Even sports arenas have dimmers for their lights.
A lot of us have to work under flourecent light, all the time. We went to school under flourecent light. Now were gonna be forced to have bland oppressive flourecent lighting in our homes.
What happened to our right of choice.
How are we gonna have romantic lighting to welcome our significant others "home", -burn candles and risk burning down our homes?
Doing the nasty under flourecent light is gross.
Knocking over a candle while you're in the moment of having a good time with your lovey loved one, is a risk I'd like to avoid.
Better write that California Assemblyman and give him a piece of your mind.
Interior designers depend of Dimmer Switches to for lots of things, being forced to use flourecent lighting will affect their business!!!

How about if I give you a piece of my mind instead.
First, those dimmer switches can be replaced. I'd suggest that you either do so or stop complaining about them.
Candlelight is flattering and is far more intimate than is any form of electric lighting. Candlelight creates a small pool of light, which only serves to enhance the setting.
When you set the stage for "the moment", light lots of candles around the room, but not close to the bed. End of that argument.
Fluorescent lights require about 12 watts to give the same degree of light as does a 60 watt incandescent light. And they last for years, not months. That means lower power bills and lower consumption throughout the state. Good for the Governator for going with this idea.
Interior designers will adapt to this change far better than you seem to want to. Please stop whining. Your attitude on this one is that of an 8-year-old - at best.

There are flourescent bulbs that do work with a dimmer. Not all suppliers carry them so check with a lighting store and forget Home Depot... they are more costly than the basic curly flourescent bulbs but they do last pretty well...
