One can purchase cheap dimmable compact fluorescent lamps from various retailers. The website lamps-on-line offers such lamps and ebay is always a good place to find them.
The prices for compact fluorescent lamps vary in price depending on size, where you buy them, and what materials they are made of.
Incandescent, LED, or compact fluorescent bulbs are commonly used for table lamps. The specific type of bulb will depend on the lamp's design and the desired level of brightness.

The different types of fluorescent bulbs available in the market include compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), linear fluorescent tubes, and high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps.
They are known as CFL bulbs. It stands for Compact Fluorescent Lamps.
A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL), also called compact fluorescent light, energy-saving light, and compact fluorescent tube, is a fluorescent lamp designed to replace an incandescent lamp; some types fit into light fixtures formerly used for incandescent lamps. The lamps use a tube which is curved or folded to fit into the space of an incandescent bulb, and a compact electronic ballast in the base of the lamp.
Yes, compact fluorescent lamps can be dimmed. However it requires a dimming ballast which can be quite expensive and the amount of dimming is limited to about 20%. If you're thinking of using a dimmer you would be better off using an incandescent lamp.
"Compact fluorescent lamps" (or, more commonly CFLs) sold direct to consumers for installation in a standard screw-in socket have an integral ballast built into the base. The ballast converts and controls the line voltage from the socket to properly drive the fluorescent lamp. Ballasts are generally fairly complex circuitry. All fluorescent lamps require a ballast. However, most lamps used commercially ("ordinary fluorescent lamps") do not have the ballasts built into them; rather, the ballasts are hidden somewhere in the fixture.
Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) use electronic ballasts, which regulate the flow of current to the lamp. These ballasts provide benefits such as improved energy efficiency, reduced flicker, and a quieter operation compared to magnetic ballasts.
The different types of sockets compatible with compact fluorescent lamps include the pin-based sockets, such as the bi-pin and quad-pin sockets, as well as the screw-based sockets, such as the medium screw and candelabra screw sockets.
There are three main types of fluorescent light bulbs available in the market: compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), linear fluorescent tubes, and high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps. Each type has its own unique features and applications.
