can i add a dimmer switch to my cfls

[mainliner]

simple question, can i use a dimmer switch with cfls? 125w 2400/6500 k

Nope. Not unless the CFL is specifically designed to be a "dimmer compatible" CFL. Regular CFL's won't work properly with dimmer switches. You can try, but most likely just be wasting your money.

Why would you want to dim them...the brighter the better !

 

[dluck]

If your CFL's can't be dimmed then they are like 4 or 5 years old...only thing with them is you have to use a mechanical timer and not a digital timer .

to dim from veg to flower ,,,from blue to red?

 

[Red1966]

Some CFLs are dimmer compatible, some are not. Using a dimmer on an incompatible bulb is risking a fire.

Veg to flower you have to Change bulbs...I veg with 6500k and then switch to 2700k to flower with using a 3:1 ratio
