FIbaro Dimmer with CFL Tubes

[klassik.vapi 0]

Hi everybody,

we all know that the fibaro dimmer will cause problem with the CFL tubes because of the low power rating. the fibaro dimmers requires a minimum of 25 W of load to work properly.

i was just wondering will it work if i try to control 4 CFL Tubes of 9W each(Total - 27W) with a dimmer.

Will the CFL work (only ON/OFF) with no flickering.

Or do i have to use bypass module with the cfl irrespective of the load

CFL bulbs are NON dimmable technically. They turn off after they cross certain voltage.

Actually MEGAMAN CFL "Dimmable" are OK and can be dimmed down to probably 10-15%.
