Don't try using a "dimmer" control. " BIFFFF" its gone !
Also, most bulbs warn not to use them in enclosures like bathroom fan
lights. (I suppose they overheat?) I've used them outside (also a
no no) in sub-zero weather (bigger no no) but in a bulb enclosure
(three wrongs make a right in this case?) with no problem.
I just came from Wal-Mart and was very surprised to see a large
collection of GE (exposed spiral) type compact fluorescents, and
almost no other brands on the shelf.
