[SML] Alternative to Incandescent House Lights

[PATRICK MCCREARY]

One of the things about CFLs that seems to not be getting out into the 
general wisdom is that they will dim smoothly after they have been 
'burned in' for about 100 hours (ETC calls this 'seasoning'.) I learned 
it from Advance Ballasts. After a recent summer break, I went to dim the 
overheads in a lecture hall I'd been using for years, and the incans had 
been replaced with CFLs. The dim curve was so bad I had to postpone my 
Thursday class' film viewing. Called Maintenance, asked them to make 
sure the lamps stayed on for the weekend, and was able to successfully 
show the film on Tuesday. Standard, Lowes-bought medium-scew base CFLs.
