RE: Re: CBUS and CFL's

Hi Chris,



I wonder whether you had any more info the fittings / lamps / etc you'll be
using?



I'm just interested to find what 'works' (in terms of colour temp, dimming
etc).... i have one of those energy lamps in a ceiling mounted frosted
glass
ball pendant thing and it looks 'ok-ish' its quite relaxing being the room
where my hifi is if a little washed out and creamy coloured.



Cheers,

Jonathan

.not sure it has to be awful ... the lamps come in various colour
temperatures, and there are some good fittings about ... with care, it
can be good ... we're going fluorescent, anyway - high frequency,
dimmable, etc ...
