You should get an electrician in there to fix it. The flickering CFL is not the problem, it just uses the power given to it. An incandescent in the same fixture does the same. The incandescent might not flicker as bright, but it's sure to be consuming the same power.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019112442705574172.post-75861511908247772482008-08-19T10:55:00.000-04:002008-08-19T10:55:00.000-04:00Thanks David!!

Usually the gel is used for light fixtures fitted with halogen lamps that are 575watts to 1000watts, so you'll be completely safe using them with CFLs in your home.<BR/><BR/>Info can be found at http://rosco.com/us/filters/roscolux.asp.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
