Many of our dimmable low energy light bulbs are available in a variety of different cap types to fit a wide range of different light fittings.
There are three main types of dimmable energy saving bulbs;
- smooth dimming low energy light bulbs, these work exactly like a normal dimmable bulb and are compatable with most dimmer switches (please ask if in doubt..)
- switch dimming energy saving bulbs, this variety work on normal on/off switches and can dim by flicking the switch on and off. This is difficult to explain in writing but actually provides a very sensible solution and works very well in practice. No need for re-wiring or debate about the correct brightness to suit a location these simply work in a wide range of applications and can be dimmed for soft mood lighting - perfect.
- the third type of dimming low energy bubs are step dimmers or dors dimming bulbs. This type of lamp works on a normal on / off switch and by turning them on and off they reduce down through 4 light levels. Very useful for certain applications.
