WHY CAN’T ENERGY SAVING LIGHT BULBS DIM, WHEN USED ON A DIMMER SWITCH?
May 15th
Question by Jordan L:
Why cannot energy saving light bulbs dim, when used on a dimmer switch?
We have recently installed some new light fixtures and did not realize that energy saving light bulbs will not dim, they will only work on maximum power, when the dimmer switch is turned down, they just flicker.
Also does anyone know if you can purchase energy saving light bulbs that will work on a dimmer switch?

HOW IS CHANGING THE DATE TO SWITCH TO DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME GOING TO HELP SAVE ENERGY?
Apr 18th
Question by Flo W:
How is changing the date to switch to daylight saving time going to help save energy?
We are springing forward; example 5am will be 6am. It’s still going to be dark so the lights will be on because the sun does not rise in most places until 7am which will be 8am and most people are already out of their houses to work or school.

HOW DO I ATTACH AN LED BULB TO A SOLAR PANEL, BATTERY AND A SWITCH?
Apr 6th
Question by chris:
How do I attach an LED bulb to a solar panel, battery and a switch?
This seems easy enough but nobody knows how to do it. I need to make a lighting system for a boat. I want it to be solar powered. All I need is a way to get a solar panel attached to a battery for storage and then a switch so I can turn it on at night. The boat is wired for battery power and I have yet to find a easy lighting system that I can just make my own light fixture for. There are so many choices if I want it for a garden but for marine applications they will rust. please help,.
