Why do the new CFL bulbs I purchased not work in any of my lights–lamps or ceiling lights?
Sunday, August 3rd, 2008lights out asked:
I purchased a big package of CFLs hoping to switch out the bulbs all over the house. Well, I have found one socket to date where the CFL will work. Many of my ceiling lights are on dimmers, so I suspect this is the cause for these lights; however, in lamps and other ceiling fixtures (no dimmer), the bulbs do not work. Any ideas??? Thanks.
