is a Halogen bulb considered an incandescent or fluorescent when considering wattage?

Incandescent, they are a whiter light and give more light per watt than regular incandescent lamps

Fluorescent bulb are heat producing. For a 45 Watt Fluorescent bulb you will need a 200 watt converter.

These lamps are neither halogen nor fluorescent. They are LED ( light emitting diodes ). No glare. You will love this lamp!

Well CFL would be if you're using compact fluorescent bulbs, and INC would be if you're using normal incandescent light bulbs. So switch it on whatever type of light bulbs you're using.

Yes you can. It has a standard incandescent light bulb socket which will accept incandescent bulbs, or compact fluorescent bulbs of any wattage. A great thing about these lights is that the shades are translucent off-white, so if you use fluorescent bulbs, the shade makes them less harsh in color and they give off a light similar to soft white incandescent.

I'm sorry, but my only experience was with incandescent, so I know nothing about whether it possible to use with Halogen.

I would say no with one exception. CFL and LED bulbs are still rated in terms of the wattage an incandescent bulb with the same lumens (brightness) rating would consume. So, for example, a 5000K, 1500 lumems CFL bulb would draw 32 to 35 watts, well under 60 watts, even though it is consider equivalent to a 100 watt incandescent. I've used such CFLs with no problems.

The statement made in the description of "20W LED as the light sourcewhile lumen output equivalent to 500 Watt halogen bulb" IS ABSOLUTELY FALSE! A 500 watt halogen bulb typically has a light output of 10,000 lumens or more. This lamp has an output of 1,600 lumens, which is, as Coy said above, about equivalent to a 100-watt halogen bulb. THIS IS A GROSS MISREPRESENTATION OF THIS PRODUCT.

We put a regular incandescent bulb in it. To be honest, I don't remember if it said NOT to use CFL. It is an open fixture, so I would think it is OK unless you don't want the screwy design of CFL to show...and not sure if it would. If you like the design, read the enclosures more carefully that we did.We have CFL wherever possible, so we are not anti-CFL, anti-halogen or anti-LED.

both. Like a hot tub. No comparison to the bulbs You know, even cooler than an energy saving fluorescent lamp.

The halogen bulbs get very hot and use lots of electricity. Led bulbs get slightly warm and are very energy efficient.

No, they are Compact Fluorescent Lighbulbs, similar to the ones you have in your home. Those don't get hot at all. They are not incandescent lights.

Thank you for your question. Per the description: it is capable of using a 75-watt incandescent or 15-watt compact fluorescent bulb.

The LED or Light-Emitting Diode and Halogen Light bulbs are dimmable. The CFL or Compact Fluorescent Lamp are not dimmable. When you dim a CFL it sporadically turns on and off. I don't think CFL's are designed for the that purpose. I hope this helps.

It does not note the wattage on the light. people at Lowes w we chose a 60 watt bulb. It has been operating well

not sure about that. Usually it is the max load you have to worry about. I have 5 halogen bulbs, each 25 watts. Works fine

Wattage (current draw) is wattage. As long as the amperage (current draw) doesn't exceed the posted ratings of the transformer it (the transformer) doesn't care if the bulbs are incandescent or LED.
