i just got back from store learning that touch table lamp wont accept energy savings bulb,only incandescent one.why so?
what is dimmer switch?
sorry i came from backward third world country and am not familiar with this stuff,would certainly like to learn more.unfortunately i m not into this stuff.
i meant touch lamp
i heard in few years government will ban incandescent bulbs.what will be solution for dimmers then if fluorescent isn't the option?

You need to find a touch lamp that takes a three way bulb instead of one with a dimmer switch. You can find florescent bulbs that are for them. A three way lamp gives you a choice of three light levels.

A dimmer switch basically starts and stops the flow of electricity going into a lamp. This happens very rapidly (120 times a second) so an incandescent bulb works fine; you just turn the knob till you get the amount of light you want.

But a florescent bulb needs a (more or less) constant flow of current through it to keep it lit. If you put a dimmer switch on most of them, they will try to cycle off and on really really fast.

Hm, did you mean touch lamp (turns off and on when you touch it) or torch lamp (tall slender lamp that kind of looks like a torch).

—————————————
This Horizontal & Vertical axis wind turbine is the best solution using by wind Power.
Mechanical engineers can easily distinguish a great difference between Third Member Wind Turbine and Horizontal-axis wind turbine or Vertical axis wind turbine. Because Third Member Wind Turbine has combined the effectiveness of both Horizontal-axis wind turbine and Vertical axis wind turbine to create a high torque with high rotation speed to the generator (Third Member Wind Turbine’s benefits can be easily tested with time and has a low cost). Thus it can operate a higher-capacity generator with simple structure and low cost (or it can operate even wind at low speed, for small Wind Turbine satisfied demand for every household)
Note:
Third Member includes all of Bevel-Gear style and Planetary Gear style
—————————————
During periods of sustained high winds the system may produce more power than is consumed, a financial return can be realized by selling the excess power to the utility company and through net energy savings.
