I don't know about dimming, I guess you're right, if it matters to
you, it doesn't to me.

As for fit, I am willing to change the fixture to save energy and
help the environment.

You could and they do. You ought to look. My current favorite is the
"Qlite" by Lights of America.

But have these people seen the high frequency CFs? I can wave my hand
in front of them and see no flicker. If it were in a fixture such
that you couldn't see the shape, I would challenge anyone to be
able to tell the difference.

Ok, you're right.

I guess that's why they pass laws requiring fluorescents in the
bath and kitchen of new housing.
