    Has anyone tried the GE dimmable CFLs on a C-busII dimmer?

    Did they work? Any issues?

    thanks

    Test results

    Howdy,
    Been trialling the GEs for a few months. Short version of the results:
    - The will not start reliably on a memory dimmer below about 50%, can take a few seconds some time. Below about 40% they will not turn on at all. Would recommend memory dimmers.
    - Dont dim below 20 - 25%, they turn off.
    - Dont use the daylight colour version in a house, looks really bad.

    So yep, they can be used, just be careful how they are programmed.
