Does the sockets accept 23w CFL lamps?

Yes, this string accepts any light bulb with a standard base. I used 23 watt CFL's in an 80' long hoop building and it lit it up well, even at night.

yes. Thats what I use in 3 sets of these so it only uses 230 watts per set. Home Depot sells boxes of 12 of the 23 watt cfl for around $14.

The socket flares upward and it accepts the standard sized bulb, the ones with the base of the same shape and size as good old regular 60W incandescents. But the lamp itself is wired for 13 watts, and the LIFX says that it can draw up to 17 watts. I hesitate to suggest overclocking the lamp by 17 when it's built for 13. IKEA, if they're prudent, built their lamp to cope with a bit of overclocking, but...the prudent consumer doesn't absolutely rely on this.

Up to forty watt standard bulbs. You cannot use CFL bulbs as the switch has a built in dimmer not compatible with fluorescent bulbs.

It uses one 18W GU24 CFL. Seems to be bright enough and it came with the ceiling light.

Only if you buy/select the 1000w model. bulbs are bulbs. Brand doesn't matter

No. I had it installed and noticed on the last line of the instructions it said it was NOT for CFL's.

Honestly, I don't know. They are adequate to my needs. Perhaps you can get the exact wattages from the tech info for the lamp.

Our unit is meant for 40w bulb. You can use CFL equivalent to a 40w reg. bulb.

Yes . This switch works great ! I use it with a 13 watt CFL . I highly recommend it.

The CFL/LED designation means it will work with low watt lamps, regardless of the lamp base. There should be no problems.

Namely's comments made me reply that this switch is NOT being used with a CFL! It is a ceiling mount light fixturewith regular 40 watt bulbs.

The model you specified (Lutron TTCL-100H-WH) will handle 250 W incandescent or 100 W CFL/LED bulbs as shown on the back of the unit.

Yes. The CFL bulb will fit. That is the type I use and it works quite well.

The lamp sent to me requires 40W Medium Base Type A bulb. No way will an E12 40 watt bulb fit into the socket in the lamp sent to me.

Correct. Incandescent sockets are compatible. Just look the model type up to know what size bulb you need. 95% of my lights are now LEDs.

YES. I have an old Tensor lamp (about 35 years old, but no model number anywhere) with this label attached on the bottom "tensor 120V. ~.25 AMPS 25 Watts Use #93 bulb only. Any other bulb may destroy this lamp." I bought two of these since the shipping costs more than 2 bulbs. Fits and works perfectly.

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.
