But even parity was not achieved by CFLs, particularly for dimmable applications. It seems like the latest generation achieving parity (where the CFLs failed to) with the century-old technology is the notable point, more so than by how much they surpassed it.

If that makes any sense.



You can use CCFL's instead. They are fully dimmable, instant on (no warmup period), and last 25,000 hours.


I've done some searching for CCFLs and it seems very few people are making and selling them, and they only carry 2700K warm white. Can you recommend a good place to buy high-lumen CCFLs that have a more neutral temperature?
