Can this light use CFL bulbs? Thanks!

Yes it can, this is a nice fixture. We installed it in the stairwell going to our bonus room and it lights the area very well

Yes, I have mine on a dimmer though. These look very very good. Makes my room look awesome. Best purchase I ever made.

It does use standard base light bulbs. I used 2 standard base 13 watt CFLs and it looks great.

I only use chandelier bulbs, the old kind. Besides we have that light on a dimmer switch and CFL bulbs don't work on dimmers. The shades have two wire loops inside that slide onto the bulbs. I doubt they would fit CFLs.

No. I had it installed and noticed on the last line of the instructions it said it was NOT for CFL's.

I use a cfl and it works fine. I think the "traditional" bulb for this lamp is more indirect, but the socket is a standard size, so you should be able to screw anything into it.

Yes. The CFL bulb will fit. That is the type I use and it works quite well.

Yes, it can. I use a regular light bulb and one side and a CFL in the other.... I would just be careful about the size of the CFL.

If you mean Compact Flourescent Light (CFL), then yes. Mine is running an one of these:Exo Terra Repti-Glo 5.0 Compact Fluorescent Tropical Terrarium Lamp, 26-Watt

Sorry I returned this lamp due to shipping damage, but if memory serves me yes you can use a smaller CFL bulb in this fixture equivalent to a 100 watt incandescent. Hope this helps out!

Yes you can. However, you I reconmend not using CFL bulbs because they contain Mercury inside. Use LED bulbs even though they cost a lot more--they will last 10 times or more longer. Hope this helps

I currently use a CFL bulb in mine. Only limit would be the size of the bulb (higher wattage = bigger bulb)

Yes. I had CFLs in until I received the LEDs I ordered, and they seemed to work just fine. Perhaps a little dim, but that may have been the bulb, since the LEDs are bright.

No this does not work well with CFL, only incandescent lamps. Tried it once, when I first received the unit, it flickers continuously, meaning, not compatible. Hope this helps!

Yes, the CFL bulbs won't make any difference however mine didn't work at all so I'd be a bit hesitant to make the purchase if I were you. Had nothing to do with the type of bulbs it just wouldn't work.

No. Even though some CFL market themselves as dimmer compatible, they never work correctly and have a major flicker problem. It is better to have several smaller output bulbs that you can use in combination. If you must have a dimming bulb, try using a halogen incandescent.

I don't use it for CFL or LED bulbs but the product description on Amazon states ALL TYPES OF LIGHTING. I would just the specs for this switch on Honeywells website to be clear.

Yes you can. It has a standard incandescent light bulb socket which will accept incandescent bulbs, or compact fluorescent bulbs of any wattage. A great thing about these lights is that the shades are translucent off-white, so if you use fluorescent bulbs, the shade makes them less harsh in color and they give off a light similar to soft white incandescent.
