Energy saving lamps that can be used effectively with dimmers are already available. And more and more are becoming available. Incidentally, although an incandescent lamp uses less energy when dimmed, the efficiency of the lamp decreases dramatically.

There are many different types of energy saving lamps available that are just as small as incandescent lamps, including some with small fittings.
