No, I have not used those Sylvania bulbs. I ordered the GE energy smart 60 watt replacement bulbs pack...13 watts each bulb. They are working fine.

Sorry for the late response, but no. It's a very different bulb style from CFL. I have found replacement bulbs at Home Depot and Lowes.

Kinda looks like it from the pictures I've found. I have not tried it though. My bulbs are a year old and still going. i use them with a dimmer. Bought two extra, but have not used them yet. I am curious to see if the GU10 works. I have two units and that would be over $160 to replace original bulbs. Maybe one day.

I used a Sylvania 4W. 4C7/BL/4PK. UPC 4613513549 From my local KMart. The 15watt bulb it shipped with was too bright.

I did a test with a household CFL twist and a BR40 CFL bulb, they both turned on off just fine.

Check Sylvania.com to make sure you have a compatible fixture. Google Sylvania 70734 and find the compatible fixtures. I have installed 10 of these LED fixture and have not any problems. Wish you luck.

It's working great for me with 3 9.5-watt Cree dimmable LEDs. It definitely won't work with CFL's unless they are specifically dimmable CFL's, and probably not even then.

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

yeah, I have a 60w incandescent in mine, so I wouldn't see why a CFL wouldn't work.

A very small 13 watt twist bulb will probably fit. I didn't try. I tried a 23 watt bulb and it didn't fit. I'm using it on my porch and need more light than a small twist bulb will produce, so I use incandescents in it.

I purchased it because I need the brighter light but I see that others have changed the bulb and had the results that they were looking for. Good luck.

Perhaps the FDL-18LE 2118B 18W made by Lighs of America would work for you. These light bulbs are not available in store any more. I finally found th thru the Amazon.com.Grace

What type of bulb are you using? The lamp works best with regular incandescent or the newest dimmable LED bulbs. CFL's are not compatible with this lamp

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.

Yes.. this is a standard CFL (Compact Fluorescent Light) but way over priced. Try Home Depot or Loews!

Yes and no. I have one of the long twisted style uvb bulbs and it does protrudes a tiny amount but still doesn't make the light wobble or anything and I don't think I've ever seen a longer bulb than the one I'm using for this type of application. There are better solutions at a greater cost but this will do fine

It didn't work in mine. I had to send it back. It really would have been better...less hassle...to just spend the extra $3 and get the bulb from Brookstone. I ended up having to replace my ballast too. It really diodn't last that long, considering how much the mirror cost. Probably 30% of what a fluorescent fixture's life should actually be.
