Does it take CFL bulbs?

I do not know but I can tell you that those types of bulbs would change the appearance of the light dramatically. The glass is opaque but you would definitely see the style of bulb through the glass.

Yes, you can use CFLs. I put small flood bulb in mine to use as a task light. Works and looks great.

No, it doesn't use bulbs. Nothing else to buy. Plug it in and you are good to go.

I have not tried CFL's, but I don't see why not. It works in a normal 110-120 volt line.

i would say NO. it's for a regular bulb and don't think it would fit the shape of a CFL.

Yes. I had CFLs in until I received the LEDs I ordered, and they seemed to work just fine. Perhaps a little dim, but that may have been the bulb, since the LEDs are bright.

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.

I don't use it for CFL or LED bulbs but the product description on Amazon states ALL TYPES OF LIGHTING. I would just the specs for this switch on Honeywells website to be clear.

Yep, it's not a dimmer, just a timer, so CFL's are fine. As well as incandescents, water pumps, anything within it's current ratings.

Looks like it's rated for 1000 watts so I think it will work. It's not like the CFL bulbs need starters.

Yes, CFL works, but I don't like the "warm up" time it takes them to hit their stated lumen output. The unit clearly states the maximum watts the unit can handle - which is pretty high.Like a previous responder, I switched over to led's. More expensive, of course.

Yes this lamp takes standard light bulbs. At any given time you can have one 1, 2, or all 3 lights. Each of the three lights can be turned on by twisting a knob on the back of the individual light fixtures.

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

Yes, it will take standard Edison screw based bulbs. It is shipped with an Edison screw based CFL, but you can use a standard A-19 bulb if you wish, perhaps in conjunction with a dimmer switch.

Yes, and I use it with these CFLs and it works great. Loving the beautiful light output and the better quality Triangle Bulbs T40144-4 (4 Pack) - 23-Watt (100W) Spiral Medium Base Natural Daylight (5000K) CFL Light Bulbs, 4 PACK

The short answer is yes, they will accept CFL bulbs, although my experience with them was not good. I initially used some GE CFL's (I don't know the model, but they were flood-type bulbs). The first few nights when the motion lights were activated they CFL's would come on, but on the 3rd or 4th night when they were activated they would turn on, but the CFL's were giving off a weird color and were only about half as bright as they were the first two nights. If I turned the motion lights to a constant "on" state, the CFL's would then eventually brighten and the color would return, but never 100% as on the first few nights. This happened with all 4 bulbs I was using. I returned them and replaced them with incandescent 100w floodlights after that, so I don't have any long term experience with them.

I don't think so... Usually dimmable CFL bulbs are clearly labeled as such, and cost significantly more.
