'Cause adding a resistor makes the investment in a CFL or LED lamp an
energy saver! :)
Yes, I know 25W is still better than 70W. It's just ironic we pay
top dollar for an energy saving lamp and then pay additional money to
waste enough energy to make it work. Sounds like a government solution...

Try adding a resistor to the output of the Crestron dimmer, or more

I seem to recall a "minimum load" specification from somewhere. 25
watts
is a number I seem to remember.
I've had to use things like this:
with other manufacturer's dimmers when controlling fluorescent and LED
loads. I've never worked with anything Creston other than InfiNET
lighting.

I having an issue with dimmable compact fluorescent bulbs, if I use
the CFL with an infinet dimmer it dims fine and works stable all the
way down to 10%. If I hook it to a CLX-DIM8 it does not dim in
responses to changes in level. An incandescent works fine, the only
difference is I unscrewed the incandescent and screwed in the CFL. If
I wire an incandescent bulb in parallel with the CFL both the
incandescent and CFL work fine.
I am testing using a GE Energy Smart Flood Light part # 21710. CLX-
DIM8.
