[[Fluorescent lightbulb|Fluorescent lights]] as well as LED (Light emitting diode) bulbs cannot be dimmed by a simple voltage reduction.  However, this does not mean that it is impossible.  In most cases, the bulbs themselves can (and must) control their brilliance.  Therefore, variable brightness bulbs or tubes must be installed into a "dimmer" system designed for them.  The user can then control brilliance easily, but the switch is simply telling the bulbs or tubes what to do.  The actual lights then adjust their output as requested.<ref>http://www.popularmechanics.com/home/how-to/a3886/how-to-use-a-dimmer-switch-with-cfls-and-leds-15882096</ref>
