I bought some in Homebase a few weeks ago - wife doesn't like the CFL energy saving type - but the ones I got were a new type that are actually halogen in a normal fitting/bulb that use 30% less energy and last longer too.

I saw energy saving light bulbs being sold 5 for a pound in Sainburys last week.

Can you get dimmable energy saving bulbs?

What about LED bulbs, can a normal dimmer switch dim these?

[TimberWolf]

Yes. Just as well really, since it takes about 5 "20W" 100W equivalent CFLs to produce as much light as a 100W proper bulb.

I think these were 8 or 11 Watt. But I agree, the light isn't the same quality as an incandescent.

You won't need to!
