Anyone have any *good* experiences with 'em? I know, everyone jumped on the bandwagon 2 years ago, but I only have one dimmer-controlled light fixture in my whole house (yes, with two of those nassssty 60W incandescents in it,) so I haven't been real worried about it. However, now that I've installed wall fixtures in my living room, I'm thinking a dimmer would be nice there as well.
I've yet to see any "name-brand" dimmable CFLs in the store, but I made a speed run to the local Orange Colored Store today to pick up some Crescent wrenches (I found that I did not have a wrench large enough to remove a hitch ball) and saw some "dimmable 90W equivalent CFLs." I grabbed two and I will be returning them - first of all, when hooked up to my dimmer, they don't dim. At all. They also flicker disconcertingly, even on full brightness. I tried it in the living room as well, just to make sure it wasn't an issue with my dimmer, and it flickers there as well. They're marked "ecosmart" just so you know. They're quite large as well, they actually stick up above the glass on my light fixtures, not an appealing look.
So... looks like I would have to mail order something, but what? anyone recommend a good product?
