We have a ceiling fan that has a dimmer switch. It can't use CFL bulbs or LED bulbs but incandescent bulbs so that they dim. The CFL or LED bulbs that do dim cost more money. I tried LED bulbs and they didn't emit as much light as the incandescent bulbs they replaced, I found that you have to find bulbs with the right amount of lumens https://www.earthled.com/pages/lumens-watts-and-buying-lightbulbs-in-the-21st-century https://www.earthled.com/pages/lumens-watts-and-buying-light... Watts don't mean anything anymore it is lumens that count. CFL bulbs burn out on me, and you have to twist them by the base or it breaks the glass. I imagine that the LED technology has advanced now that it can use more lumens and a brighter light. The LED bulbs that I tried were expensive and didn't emit enough light. Some children's toys like the EZ-Bake Oven or Popcorn Maker uses incandescent bulbs to use their heat to cook things. The heat from the bulb bakes cakes or pops popcorn. But I guess with LED bulbs replacing them these toys won't work anymore.
