A fluorescent tube turns on and off 60 times a second in north America. An incandescent light is lit by a heated filament, so although the current changes direction 60 times a second to the bulb, it does not have enough time to cool down, so it doesnt turn off.

How do dimmer switches work?

Most dimmer switches work by turning the light off for a certain amount of time...a light bulb connected to 120V 60Hz actually turns off 120 times a second...If you have it turn off 60 times a second (and stay off longer each cycle) it appears to be dimmer...This is what SCRs and Triacs do...They turn AC voltage off for a period of time,while still swithing fast enough that your eye sees no flicker.
