it is a standar size, I use it for light bulbs 5 to 60 watts and it works well.

nope... this is for standard size light bulbs E27 and for video they are great... get 4 daylight colored CFL bulbs of the equivalent to 100 watts of old style light bulbs and you have a lot of nice light that does not generate a lot of heat...

Check your owners manual or do a google search and see what size bulb you need

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

I don't know if CFL would handle this type, since it doesn't just cut on and off, the lights brighten and dim with my incandescent bulbs in it. It isn't marked as CFL compatible.

It doesn't work on my CFL. I either need to find a CFl that fits these or return them.

Can use up to 100 watt 3way. I use a CFL equal to 100 watt bright white. The shades make it a little dark.

I did use one of those elongated lightbulbs, about 5 inches long and 1.5 inches wide, because I did not like how the CFL looked. It was too bright. It works fine.....I wish the damned slider pole could be tightened, however!

It takes up to a 100w incandescent or 23w cfl bulb. It's a chain pull so it will NOT accept a 3 way bulb.

i had a Utilitech 15watt bulb for almost a year in it and it just died. i just started researching about why and i have a feeling this model isn't rated for CFLs since they have their own CFL specific dimmers. i'm not finding anywhere with a list of approved CFL bulbs for it either.

I used a 150 watt bulb without a issue. By the way, you can get this at Mennards for a lot less.

This fixture utilizes an incandescent (150watt max.) or CFL (13-15watt)bulb; the bulb will not show (would suggest a short style).

It takes a "standard" size lightbulb. I use an energy efficient CFL (spiral) bulb in mine. The lamp has a UL Listed sticker under the base.

Typically you can always use a dimmer on a halogen bulb. Not on CFL bulbs. This plugs into the wall, so if you add a dimmer it should work fine.

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

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!

I have used several different bulbs. A regular 60 watt bulb fits fine. An energy saver bulb fits also.
