FAQ

Can I use your compact fluorescent bulbs with dimmers?

Like most CFLs you'll find, our GU24 and other compact fluorescent bulbs don't work with dimmers, which are designed for use with incandescent bulbs.

Although we don't offer them, there are some screw-base CFLs that will accommodate dimmer switches. Look for "dimmable" or similar language on the bulb or the packaging.

However, take note that the quality and degree of "dimmable" light from CFLs can vary considerably between manufacturers.
