watts are watts, no matter what is using them.

flourescents can't be dimmed. it will blow the bulb and ballast/starter as well.

go down to home depot. they have a standard 300 watt table lamp dimmer for $10 that i use on mine and have no problems.

you can use a wall one but then you have to buy a junction box and all that other stuff and I find it to be a bigger pain than its worth..plus its bulky and you have to find a place to put it.
