23 Watt Dimmable GU24 Spiral replaces 100 watt

New. Designed for today's energy efficient light fixtures, the dimmable 23 watt spiral with GU24 base provides a comparable light to a 100 watt incandescent.  Except ours will last 10,000 hours, use 75 percent less energy and product very little heat. 

Specific to our dimmable CFL models is that they must be used on modern analog dimmers, which includes all models manufactured after 1995. They will not work on digital dimmers, which although uncommon, may still be found in certain situations, particularly new commercial installations.

Dimmable CFLs will not dim to 0% as their incandescent counterparts, which is due to the technology involved. A CFL functions using the same technology as fluorescent lighting, which requires that an arc be maintained between the cathodes. A certain amount of power is required to maintain this arc. There is also power that is consumed in the
operation of the ballast. Due to the power consumed by these two items, a dimmable CFL is unable to dim to 0%. Reliable dimming can be found down to 20% when using the proper dimmers.
