Hello. I have two lights in one room controlled by a dimmer switch, I put two 20w energy saving bulbs in the sockets a while back (special ones that work with dimmers), but they'd often flicker at lower light levels and after a while the switch stopped working all together.
I later found out about how these dimmer switches have a minimum wattage requirement as well as a maximum.
My question is, if I buy a dimmer switch that has a minimum rating of 40w, will that be OK with two 20w rated energy saving bulbs? Or should I look to get a dimmer switch with an even lower minimum watt requirement just to be on the safe side?
