Since Fluorescent lights us a ballast to fluoresce the Mercury vapor in this type of bulb the ballast requires a modified multiple voltage arrangement. Usual florescent lights only have one voltage being 110-115 volts. Unless it is a special bulb which would state 3-way and is not truly dimmable it would just use different voltage levels to the ballast and different wattages to different internal bulbs these are very rare and hard to find.
usually yes
led are diodes and are in series to run from more than 2v
usually a resistor in series to limit current
if there is more than one string it is standard practice to balance the polarity
the dimmer will see a resistive load
CFL use a capacitor charged thru a diode
the dimmables have a resistive load and a voltage doubler
incandescents are a resistive load always works
old florescents are inductive will work with florescent rated dimmers
ive tried touch lamps with dimmable cfls havent been able to make anything work yet
should all work together in a few decades
disk cylinder

reel 4track 8track cassette
vhs /betamax
hddvd /blue ray
wait a bit ppl dont accept products that dont work together
someone should explain this to Bill Gates maybe the windows phone will bring the light
It depends on the LED lights used, but generally you can. That is an advantage over CFL bulbs. Some LED lights used for replacing incandescent bulbs may include circuitry that makes them incompatible with dimmers, but most should work with dimmers.
my alarm clock has a dimmer switch for its LED display my alarm clock has a dimmer switch for its LED display
Yes, if the LED bulbs are dimmable and you use a dimmer made especially for LED's
yea
Halogen bulbs come in various ratings, as do all bulbs.
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.
Nothing . . . obviously.
All track lighting models can use CFL bulbs. The important thing is that you get the correct CFL bulb as you must get the CFL bulbs that are designed for base up use like you find in track lights, pendant lights and recessed lighting. If the track lights are dimmable you also want to be sure to get a dimmable CFL bulb.
because of voltage
"Halogen bulbs have a longer life and better illumination than incandescent bulbs. They are compact in size, and dimmable unlike flourescent bulbs. Halogen IR (infrared) bulbs use less electricity, also."
Yes. There are some LED light bulbs that are dimmable.

One can find and purchase dimmable CFL bulbs in stores such as Home Depot and Walmart. One can also purchase it online at Amazon, Buy Lighting and eBay.

Look at it and find its weight. If it is heavy it contains a transformer and is dimmable. If it is very light and obviously contains no transformer, it can't be dimmed.
Halogen headlamps must use halogen bulbs. "HID kits" are widely available, but they are (all) unsafe and illegal.
Nothing . . . obviously.
Xenon bulbs give off whiter light than Halogen bulbs, which give off a more yellow tint. Also, Halogen bulbs give off more heat than Xenon bulbs.

Halogen light bulbs are what has been around for a very long time. Incandescent bulbs are new and are more energy efficient.
Yes
