Do you *really* want to know why all electrical faceplates use standard screws?
A standard screw head is not as noticeable as a robertson or phillips.
Feel free to scream.
Side note: Don’t Dim florescent lights . . . (at least not with out more hardware)
Dimmers can also offer real savings in electric costs. If you have a 5 bulb “chandelier” you can dim it rather than unscrew bulbs … yes, you don’t really need 5×40 or 5×60 *or* 5×75(!!) watts do you.
