Phil, I think John is talking globes (BC or ES) not a tube. The Compact Fluros and LED will flicker in a sensor light or dimmable light fitting. (I use Halogen 28w conventional globes in them) or you can use expensive $30 dimmable LED's

John, if you want Warm White LED they are fairly cheap at Woolworths. I prefer Cool white (daylight) and they are cheapest at Bunnings (or on ebay if you shop around)

5w = about 40w and 9w = 60w roughly (but it varies with brands) I have replaced about 80% of the lights in our house with LED (all but the ones we seldom use)

Thanks Dazz, the light switch is an adjustable type. notice with fluro it does not change in brightness. so what type LED globes? i've got a floor lamp that has LED globe &it's great, even has a switch on side of globe & can run on its own without power for about one hour. i used it once when power was turned off while the worked on power lines. but its a screw in fitting. i need standard type light fitting.

I'm pretty sure you shouldn't use fluoros with a dimmer switch.
That might be the problem.

That's what I said 

You can get ones (Fluro and LED) that work with dimmer switches but they are about double the cost. Larger Leading Edge electrical stores have them (Bunnings probably does too - we don't have any dimmer switches)

Hopefully they are available in ES (Edison screw) and BC (bayonet cap) which appears to be what you need John.

I will Google for them and add a link to this post if I find any.

Here you go $23.25 each (but last a life time) Choice of BC & ES.. Beacon and other probaly have them too but heaps dearer I suspect!

Edit: you can pay $180 for one globe if you don't shop around!!!

That's what I said

I just wanna know what Phil had to say.....

I'm assuming he deleted his post? 

[Phil №❶]

Yes I did Rusty, immediately thought of the old type and raved on about totally unnecessary stuff, so I axed it.

[rustynutz]

Thanks Phil...
Deleting posts can be tricky, especially when following posts make reference to it, maybe there could be a message left in its place saying the post has been deleted???  Or perhaps the option to remove could be removed once someone has replied??? 

It's just that I've been on forums where someone has cracked a wobbly and deleted all their posts, making many threads an utter shambles to try to read..... 

Just something for Admin to think about maybe? 

[Phil №❶]

My bad, I should have left a message.
