I wanted to change the standard light switch in my living room to a dimmer switch. I've bought one of these http://www.diy.com/nav/fix/electric...-Dimmer-White-TQP251W-12389264?skuId=12909968 and it would make the bulb flicker and buzz. Reading some of the older threads I've found out that these do not work with energy saving bulbs. My bulb is 15W. Ive tried the same dimmer in another room that has a 8W energy saving bulb (before reading the older threads) and it seems to work a little better, no buzzing and stays steady on low lighting.
Do I need to get one of these to make the switch work better? http://www.diy.com/nav/decor/lighti...lfball-B22-Light-Bulb-12418937?skuId=12939643
There are bulbs with different wattage , which would be best?
Thanks
