▤ Summary

SAN FRANCISCO--Did you know there arent many fluorescent lamps with a dimmer knob on the market? Its true, said Bennett Johnston, vice president of corporate development at Lumenergi, during a presentation at the Cleantech Forum in San Francisco this week. The Sparks, Nev.-based company has come up with what it calls a dimming electronic ballast, basically a fluorescent lamp that comes with a dimmer. The dimmer can be operated manually (to create a mood) or by computer (to save energy). Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and a federal office building have already signed on as customers.
