Dimmable and non dimmable lamp

[danyel]

hellow;
can any one tell me if there are difference betwee a dimmable Lamp and one that is not dimmable
and if there is any effect when non dimmable lamp is used in dimming system.....

A classic incandescent bulb is dimmable of course since it behaves like a resistive load.

for Fluorescent Lamps I found this:
Dimming Fluorescent Lamps

Maybe check Dimmer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia too

thanks for your answer but how Dimming Fluorescent Lamps be possible since it is said it is not suitable for dimming

Typical hot cathode fluorescent lamps are not suitable for dimming but there is another type that is, cold cathode fluorescent.

what might be wrong with that
