I am installing Halo Air-Tite recessed lights with a Lutron dimmer switch. I plan on using compact fleurescent light bulbs. Is there anything I need to be aware of for switch or lights? Thanks!

You will have to buy special ones to dim. __________________ Yes I am a Pirate, 200 years too late. "Jimmy Buffett"
