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

The fan requires a small candelabra bulb. You might consider upgrading to a small CFL candelabra bulb as these will give you a higher output of light. I had to change mine because the light bulb that comes w/ the fan wasn't powerful enough to light up the room. I opted for the candelabra CFL 23w (100w incandescent equivalent), w/ an approx. 1000 lm output.

CFLS have come a long way and are more compact and better looking than previously used. I would think that as long as wattage rated for lamp holder is not exceeded AND LED lamp fits in housing, should be able to use. You could check directly with Hunter.We have this fan and light kit installed in our screen porch, since we needed an outdoor rated assembly and light is used intermittently but works great. One thing about this, light comes on quickly (not like some old CFLS), even when is cold out there.

I've used it with CFL bulbs. It only turns them off and on. There is no longer a dimmer function though.

You should be able to. They even kinda work with CFLs; although I don't recommend it.

Yes, the CFL bulbs won't make any difference however mine didn't work at all so I'd be a bit hesitant to make the purchase if I were you. Had nothing to do with the type of bulbs it just wouldn't work.

Yes, I have 4 rooms with CFL bulbs no issues for 5 years, the slide switch is just for fan speed. Only had one switch burn out as mentioned by another poster.

I would say no. I have a 3 way CFL bulb in it now and it works on the second click and at about the low light - 50 watt setting only. I will likely return unless I have to pay shipping and it's expensive. regular Incandescent bulbs give off a lot of heat at 150 watt setting.

Robert, I believe it automatically senses cfl or incandescent bulbs. The phone # in the package insert is 1-888-830-1326 You can call them to double check. My fan did not have a light kit so I did not focus on that aspect of the installation. I hope that helps!

Yes! Use the wattage you want, and get the "screw-in" type bulbs that fit the light sockets of the fan's light. If you use a dimmer, get the LEDs that are "dimmable". Also, watch the LEDs COLOR. Warm lights are in the 2700-3200K. Range. Cooler color (blueish) run in the 6000K range.

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

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

I don't believe so unless its a small base CFL and not on a dimmer light switch. It takes a small base bulb 60 watt same as and is a candle bulb. It does an ok job of lighting the room, I probably could change it up with a higher watt bulb. It may not light a large room as the only light. My boys and I love fan and light. It really looks awesome and works great. It is easy to install. I would recommend it.

I don't think this is currently possible. I suspect it may be part of the fan controls if it is a problem even with non cfl bulbs

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

Yes, it can. I use a regular light bulb and one side and a CFL in the other.... I would just be careful about the size of the CFL.
