Googling for the answer, I either buy special energy saving lightbulbs at an extortionate price, or I replace the dimmer switch for one that works with energy saving lightbulbs.
However my search failed to find out if I still have to use the pricey energy saving bulbs with the replacement dimmer switch or I can get away with using the free energy saving bulbs given out by British Gas, or the '5 for a £1' ones.
Does anyone know?
I've got 20 or more of these free / cheap energy saving bulbs kicking about but can only use them in a couple of rooms in the house. It's either that or I replace the dimmer switches for standard on / off switches.
