Comments about G.E. GE� Spiral Dimmable CFL Bulb (89624):
We have these installed in can lights in our basement. I was trying to keep heat down so looked into these. As others have stated the dim range is not very much at all. If you try to dim them all the way down they will either turn off or start flashing. Good idea, but not quite there yet. I think I may replace them low wattage regular dimmable bulbs and see if they work better.

Comments about G.E. GE� Spiral Dimmable CFL Bulb (89624):
I am looking forward to dimmable CFLs - and was excited to find this "Dimmable" CFL on the local ACE light bulb rack. I am still looking forward to dimmable CFLs, but this CFL does not qualify.
The performance of this bulb is well short of expectations.
1) The dimmable range is very small - the bulb dims, but not to the extent implied.
2) The transition from "dim" to "off" is abrupt, making it impossible to take advantage of the already limited dimming range.
3) When set close to the maximum dimming, the bulb is unstable - frequently shutting itself off.
4) These problems occurred even though the bulb was first turned on at full power, and allowed to warm up fully (at least 30 minutes) before attempts to dim.
5) This is NOT an instant on CFL; the delay is noticeable.
Since GE claims this is compatible with standard incandescent dimmers, I can't fault the dimmer, which works very well with incandescent bulbs.

Comments about G.E. GE� Spiral Dimmable CFL Bulb (89624):
Compact Flourescents won't dimm and they won't normally work in a dimmable outlet. This one is designed to work in dimmable outlets (so it won't fry itself if you have the outlet turned partially on, like a normal CFL would).
GE should make it clear on the packaging the light itself won't dim, it can just handle dimmable outlets.
As long as you don't expect it to dim its light (which isn't a realistic expectation for a CFL), it works great. Just wish they had a 150 watt equivalent.

Does not dim well. After only dimming about 20% the light goes out, I am returning the product.
