Comments on: Dimmable CFLs: Not Ready for the Spotlight? http://isnoop.net/blog/2006/11/14/dimmable-cfls-not-ready-for-the-spotlight/ It's a Doozy!

Click on the link below to watch a short, low budget video we put together to show off our dimmable CFL technology. Most of PureSpectrum’s budget was spent on research and development, so the video might look a little homemade. But the bulb you will see represents something you can’t buy today from any store – a CFL that dims just like an incandescent. We think the big lighting companies are making CFLs more complicated than they need to be and dragging their feet on bringing simple, functional technology to market. CFLs won’t save energy sitting on store shelves and consumers need to know there is technology that can make better bulbs. They just have to ask for it. http://www.purespectrumlighting.com I work for a small technology company called PureSpectrum, Inc. that is working toward making CFL bulbs more appealing to consumers.

We definitely found that not every <a href="http://www.environmentaldefense.org/page.cfm?tagID=633&campaign=mts&fixture=1&shape=2&feature1=1&brightness=0&color=0&matchingBulbCount=5" rel="nofollow">dimmable CFL</a> is created equal. Our testers had the best experience with the two TCP bulbs -- and no houses have burned down yet!
