Elena - this lamp does use CFL bulbs, and the 3-way switch is in the usual location, on the metal housing into which the bulbs screw in.Hope this helps.

Yes, you can use CFLs. I put small flood bulb in mine to use as a task light. Works and looks great.

CFL's are fluorescent so should work. Regarding the switch working outside of the factory specifications, I would suggest following them. The company that makes the switches sets a standard where the product will work and work properly for its "life" time. Unless you are an electrical and / or electronic engineer, I would recommend following the factory specifications to ensure proper results.

I don't remember what the packaging said, but I use mine with lamps holding CFL bulbs. This essentially becomes the on/off switch for the item plugged into the cord.

It can use either a 60 watt or 13w CFL. I am using both and the light is good.

Not sure what a cfl bulb is. I don't no why you would want anything other then a 3 way. It's a great feature. Tell what a cfl is and I will try it.

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'm sure you can use a 13 watt CFL bulb in this lamp (60 watt standard bulb equivalent). I have a 20 watt CFL (75 watt standard bulb equivalent) in mine and have had no issues. Have to turn switch 2 times to turn on since this is a 3 way 150 watt lamp, but that doesn't bother me any.

Yes this fixture will accept CFL bulbs with a medium base, but you may not like how it looks since the glass is clear. I would suggest using a clear incandescent bulb and put a dimmer on the switch to saving electricity.

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.

No these and most cfl bulbs are not dimmable. You want to look for 3-way cfl bulbs

Yes. Mine is hooked to a dimmer switch. If using compact fluorescent bulbs, you will need to have a CFL rated dimmer switch installed also, as well as using dimable CFL bulbs.

I use CFL bulbs for both lights on the lamp. On the lower light the bulb shows a little, but it doesn't bother me and I would rather use a CFL light than the one provided. The CFL light works fine on the top and you can't tell at all.

There is no on/off switch which is the only thing I dislike about it. I would suggest wiring a wall mount switch if you are handy. Otherwise it is a great lamp!!

The 'On' Switch is located right under the lamp shade. This is a great lamp, put both as my two bedside lamps.

I would say no. I have a 3 way CFL bulb in it now and it works on the second click and at about the low light - 50 watt setting only. I will likely return unless I have to pay shipping and it's expensive. regular Incandescent bulbs give off a lot of heat at 150 watt setting.

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!
