in terms of brand i'm not sure :o but on/off stats can be used with bulbs. just a bit harder on their lifespan then dimming stats. they need to be paired with a dimmable dome / dome + dimmer switch
great option if you're on a budget / cannot afford a dimming stat
BUT
!shoppinglist if you haven't already check out the shoppinglist! it has a few options even a cheaper dimming stat on there to choose from :o

kay
im gonna get the 5.5 inch dimming dome
and if it doesn't fit ill just deal with that later

the flukers domes are good, but if you're getting a on/off stat you'll have to make sure they have the dimming switch. the 5.5 in ones might not be the best unfortunately because their wattage limit is lower and they don't allow for a spread like the 8.5 ones :/
dense fossil
it says the maximum light wattage is 75 and both the lights i got are 75
i cant get the 8.5 dimming ones cause itll go over 50$
on/off will lower the lifespan of the light yes?
marble current
then so long as the wattage wont go over then it's not too much of an issue
on/off will lower the lifespan
dense fossil
problem
dhp is 80 watts and i already ordered all the stuff
itll probably be fine right
cause it's only 5 watts over
marble current
that is a fire hazard
