I need a fully dimmable light for a kitchen fixture. I like the light
quality and the relative to incandescent energy savings of the Phillips
Eco Advantage bulbs. I'm not thinking well of the lifespan though. You
wouldn't want to work in a work lamp as it can't take a knock. And my
kitchen light, which is generally partially dimmed has burnt out after a
few months.
I'd like to try another halogen. Others seem to be rated at 1500
hours (like GE Reveal), but I've heard the GE can be noisy when dimmed.
Any experience or suggestions?
I've given up on the idea of dimmable CFLs, too many quirks with the
rated for dimmable bulbs. And not good life. I do need an even spherical
light (fixture is pendant IKEA), which cuts out the directional LED
types. Not that I know much about their dimming characteristics.
