can this lamp take a cfl bulb?

I see no reason why you cannot use a cfl bulb. Just make sure the wattage is no more than 40.

Not exactly sure what that means but it is a regular lamp so it can take whatever you put in it like a three way now It just basically wants you to stick A 40 watt bulb. I hope that helps. I am very pleased with it.

Yes, You can use any bulb that you prefer as long as it fits with the base, the fixture's dimension and the maximum wattage allowed. What I use for this one is actually an LED globe bulb. I love it because the lighting is very pleasing in the eyes. Bright yet cozy. Plus, it's really durable, high quality, and energy efficient. Hope it helps!

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

To my knowledge, I don't think so. There are cfl bulbs that are specifically designed for dimmer operation.

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, but the bulbs must be dimmable. Most CFL bulbs are not dimmable; most other bulbs are. With 100 watt bulbs it is very bright - it makes a huge improvement to my bathroom.

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

Yes. Since it is operated by a 120v on-off switch you can use the compact fluorescent bulb.

Yes, we have a 3 way cfl bulb in the upper light and a regular cfl bulb in the lower (side) light. The sockets are standard size, and there is no problem in using cfl bulbs with a standard size base.

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

Yes - You can use CFLs in any regular light bulb socket - where have you been past few years? :-) And yes I have CFLs in these lamps as well as 100% of my house. Out of 5 stars I would rate these lamps 3.5. Not quite as nice as I was hoping. Look great in the evening light, not so great in daylight.

Amazon sells one. The CFL bulb is made by Eiko- 49230, also known as QT13/G24D1/65.

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

Yes, I believe it's large enough to hold a CFL, but not sturdy enough to support the additional weight. Even with a regular bulb, I found the top part of the lamp to be too heavy to stay in position once an ordinary (i.e. 60 watt) bulb is installed. I returned mine for that reason.

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

Yes. I originally used a 42watt CFL bulb in and it worked fine, however it was too bright for the room so I switched it out with a 23 watt CFL which is equivalent to 100w incandescent.

Yes, it does support CFL bulbs. I have 3 switches in my house, one of them controls 5 CFL bulbs.

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.
