I bought a 20W Varilight dimmable CFL to try out and the packaging claims "Full control of brightness with most standard dimmers". The instruction leaflet mentions that dimmers have a minimum loading (in my case either 40W or 60W) and multiple lamps should be used to achieve this requirement.
This strikes me as very misleading - Clearly a 20W CFL cannot be controlled by "most standard dimmers".
Has anyone else tried these?
