Can this change a CFL light bulb? My chandelier has CFL bulbs in it currently

I don't think so. The device is designed to create a suction between the bulb and the attachment. Not sure how you would create this suction on a cfl bulb.

You really need a dimmer that is made for cfl and led bulbs. This one might work but it will flutter on low .

Yes you can! Very simple to change. Finger remove 3 screw like tabs and glass removes to easy bulb change!

Yes, assuming you use lamps which are dimmable. some LED's and CFL's are not dimmable. Check the package.

Be very aware of your light bulb type before purchasing. I cannot say if it will do what you want. We use CFL (compact florescent) bulbs and those will not work at all with this switch. As another answer said, the LED bulbs might, but unless the description has changed nothing is mentioned online even about CFL bulbs, though it does appear in the very tiny print on the packaging once you receive it. Good luck though.

Yes, CFL bulbs can be used but note it comes with candelabra bulb fittings.

I didn't know before I read the previous answers which I found very helpful; also, I am assuming that I can switch this cfl bulb with a 60 watt incandescent bulb. I found this very helpful.

No! It will not work with CFL bulbs.It only works with incandescent light bulbs.

Thank you for your responses. Does CFL have to do with the size of the base? Is that why it wouldn't be compatible Raymond?

Dimable CFL might work, or if at least one standard bulb is in the circuit it might also work

The dimmer will not work with standard CFL's. You can try a dimmable CFL, but I've found them to be rather erratic. Or just stick with an incandescent bulb. Good luck.

The light kit on this fan takes (2) 40 watt incandescent bulbs. You can change these bulbs and as long as you have the medium e26 base and do not exceed 40 watts than you will be able to do that. You can substitute for cfl or led bulbs as long as they have that base type and do not exceed 40 watts. Feel free to contact us if you have any further questions!

The base of the bulb is standard/reg size. If your chandelier needs a smaller end, this would not work.

As long as the LED bulb is dimmer-compatible, this will work fine. The chandelier is just an ordinary light-bulb socket with an attachment wire.

Yes it will work on CFL and I use two 7 watts candelabra lightbulbs. The 40 watt load doesn't seem to come in play. The great part about the switch, it keeps the time and does not need to be reset if the electricity goes out.

Yes. It acts as an on/off switch so even non-dimmable bulbs will work. I have two controlling CFLs non problem, and will eventually replace them with LEDs when the time comes.

I don't see why not. It's basically an on-off switch. I'm using mine with a CFL with no problem (except I don't like the CFL's brightness or warm-up time). But the fixture works just fine in turning the lights on and off. I'm sure it will work equally well with an LED bulb (which is what I'm gong to do myself next time a bulb needs to be changed).
