Dimming

The compact fluorescent light bulb is a newly advanced light that is energy efficient. Everyone should be earth friendly and switch from incandescent light bulbs to compact fluorescent. The dimming aspect of the fluorescent bulb is it uses fewer watts and produces a brighter light than a incandescent bulb. The only negative effect is upon turning the bulb on, it is dim for a short time period, until the gases inside the bulb build up. Compact fluorescent light bulbs are used for lights that are intended to be on for long periods of time.
