With the proper ballast you can also make fluorescents dimmable using 
ordinary dimmer controls.  My kitchen is lit with daylight fluorescents 
installed in coves above the cabinets and controlled by wall mounted 
dimmers.  You can't do this with ordinary fluorescents so be sure to 
talk to your lighting folk about the special ballast required.
