	This circuit has been designed for incandescent bulbs, unfortunately these are now obsolete and are in the process of being outlawed. It would also work on a custom array of LEDs powered directly from mains (but probably not an LED bulb). Regular compact fluorescent lamps are unsuitable, however dimmable CFLs may or may not be.
