Just double checking, is there any problem using this shade on a cfl?

Since the shade is designed to fit a regular light bulb, I doubt that it will work on a "curly" CFL

I don't know what you mean by an cfl. But I will tell you it works only on regular light bulbs. Round ones.

The clip is meant to fit around a bulb shaped bulb so if you are thinking of a conventional "curly" CFL it won't work.

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!

Hi Irene, thanks for the question. This lampshade widens out from the top-->down and should be fine with your double light fixture. The only thing we'd recommend is not to use heavy wattage, or even LEDs because they might burn the shade from overheating. We hope this helps. If you need anything else Irene, please reach out to one of our awesome experts! Not only do they know everything, but they're literally sitting right next to their phones right now :)Hansen Wholesale1-800-201-1193

I have been using mine to run a 14 watt cfl lamp which comes on and off every night and no problems.

As much as CFLs can be, yes. It isn't at full brightness right away, but it warms up quickly.

I have cfls in all of my light fixtures. The only ones I have a problem with are the ones from Sylvania. I have some from another manufacturer that have been in place for over 3 years. about 15 of the Sylvania bulbs have quit working and 2 have burned out, spewing smoke throughout the room they were in. I do not have a problem with the cfls, just the ones from Sylvania.

Havw not had any problems wih the bulb. I have this bulb in a lamp that is on 12 hours over night, every night for the past 3 weeks. The light is whiter and brigher than the CFL bulb. The bulb does heat up during use. After a month or so, I will probably install more in ceiling lights and outdoor porches.

I have have the CFL bulb with no issues but I have not tried it with separately ballasted tubes. I love this thing, at first I couldn't stand the thought that it was on when I left the room but 2 minutes later it is off. I am thinking of getting the type that mounts at the switch plate for the garage, comes on when you pull in and turns off AFTER you leave.

i don't see any problem. you can use this CLF in a lamp that takes a 60 watt lightbulb. as a result, you get a brighter light (equiv. to a 100 watt) without the "heat" of an incandescent.

Yes. I have used both the 60 and 100 watt version of a CFL since I first bought this product.

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.

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. I had it installed and noticed on the last line of the instructions it said it was NOT for CFL's.

I cannot answer specifically but it comes with a smaller CFL and states it will accept 3 different wattages of an incandescent bulb but they are lower than the three you mention. The shade is relatively small so there is a heat issue.

Yes I did run CFL bulbs with it. About 12 all at once and there was no "flicker". I had run them with a modified sinewave inverter and it was really bad. This will work for you.

None that I am aware of at present. I installed my Full Spectrum Light Bulbs (ALZO 45W CFL) in light sockets without a globe or shade (not my original plan). Used in this fashion they throw a lot of light as long as you aren't too concerned about appearances. One is mounted horizontally and another vertically. Both have been in service since the beginning of this year without any problem.

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?
