Well I got a first look at the dimable compact fluorescent house lights. THE SUCK!!! They had been on most of the day on high while some work was being done. I walked in and turned them down to 10%. Most of them turned off. A few stayed on. A few turned off then turned back on. Slow fades up or down result in random on and off thresholds for just about every light. If you do a 20 second house to full, you will have some turning on at 5% and other stay off until 30%. Then on the way down there's always a final "blink" before they shut off. I don't know who thought we should have them but they suck. Avoid them at all costs. I'm assuming that because of the fancy ballasts I can't just put normal incandescents in the cans and I'm stuck with them.
If they are my only option I'll be looking for recommendation for house light instruments. I was thinking about maybe some S4 PARS with extra wide flood lenses and a nice soft diffusion Gel.
