i just bought a pack of those coiled fluorescent lights that are supposed to take less energy. unfortunately, i didn't read the package at the store, which says that you should not use them in lights controlled by dimmers. i am assuming it is because the dimmer won't actually work. my question is, if i dont care about that, will the bulbs work and if so, will they last as long as they would if i put them in another socket?
