Dimmable CFLs

PureSpectrum, Inc has developed dimmable compact fluorescent lamps (CFL), dimmable electronic ballasts, and dimmable fixtures.  This is exciting for architects and companies concerned with energy efficiency that are also concerned with meeting their specific lighting needs.  In recent years, CFLs have made a lot of progress by offering better quality of light and this new innovation is sure to continue the popularity of CFL lighting.

By showcasing their new products at the World Energy Engineering Conference in Washington D.C. this November, PureSpectrum is hoping to reach a large audience of eco-minded companies that also need dimmable lighting.  By allowing this option, the company hopes that CFL bulbs will be considered over incandescent bulbs in almost every situation, and that companies hesitant to make the switch finally will.

For people concerned with energy use and their carbon footprint, switching to CFL bulbs at home and work makes good environmental sense, but not everyone has been able to overlook the limitations of this technology and refused to give up some of the perks that only regular incandescent bulbs have been able to offer.  Now, however, there are fewer limitations.  CFL bulbs already offer a wide variety of light color, better mimicking the warmth of natural sunlight, and with this latest addition of dimmable bulbs and ballasts, there is almost nothing that will cause people to choose incandescent bulbs over CFLs.
