Using a dimmer switch with an energy light bulb not compatible will probably 
just make it flicker and die quicker than it might rather than issue of safety. 
 Most current Energy saving bulbs are not compatible with dimmers, one that 
might be worth seeking out is the Osram Dulux El Dim.

The latter piece of info I got from www.energysavingtrust.org.uk just to prove 
that I am not a light bulb nut.  I did know about the flicker bit because the 
principle of dimmer switches is quite well known if you have ever had 
electronics as a hobby.
