Is there a dimmable CFL bulb that can be used with an electronic dimmer?

Compact fluorescent bulbs used to be all or nothing. They couldn't be dimmed. Most cfl lamps (bulbs) are this kind. However, special cfl bulbs are now being marketed, at a higher price, that can be dimmed by a normal dimmer switch previously used for incandescent bulbs. However, not all dimmer switches work with these newer dimmable cfl lamps.


Can a starter be replaced with a single pole switch?

I recently tried this. Power surges were ruining a security light over the garage. I thought it was overloading the light sensor which turned the light on at night. So I bypassed the circuit board in the light and put a light switch inside the garage. Most CFL bulbs have the starter built-in, and I thought this was the case on this security light. Not so. The circuit board was also the starter. I had to switch to a regular CFL in lieu of using the extremely bright bulbs (without starters) made for this light.
