A1 : Can I use SkylinkHome dimmer to dim Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL)?
Yes, you can. Any of SkylinkHome dimmers is designed to be compatible with dimmable CFLs. The CFL itself must be dimmable, non-dimmable CFL can not be used with any dimmer. Some dimmable CFLs are not up to standards, for example, limited dimming range, flashing when dimmed low, etc., please select the good quality bulbs to use with dimmer.
