Can these use soft white/daylight fluorescent light bulbs, or does it use a special type of bulb. i.e. the raindrop shaped bulbs.

We have standard base bulbs in them. Ours is not the candelabra base. We did choose raindrop exterior CFLs, but your standard shape bulb would work as well.

Uses the little fan style bulbs. Make sure there not energy efficient. I tried energy efficient ones and twouldn't work for some reason

Only use CFL (curly Q bulbs) that are designated as "dimmable". LED and standard incandescent bulbs should work fine.

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.

Yes, CLF bulbs work fine. CLF bulbs have various color temperatures. For a warm incandescent effect use an "indoor" color type. For a white florescent effect use a CFL with a "daylight" color type. You can also buy bulbs which are compact and will extend less than an incandescent bulb.

Don't Know if CFL will work or not, have not tried a CFL bulb in the socket but I suspect that they will fit and if they fit, they will work. Some CFL's come on slow so you may be beyond the light before it comes on enough to see.

I have one and it uses night light light bulbs. It looks really neat when a colored lightbulb is used. I have a blue one in mine right now and it is really pretty.

(Assuming this is fluorescent). The issue is whether the bulb is the correct size. This should be marked on the bulb somewhere (along with the length). Anyone's bulb that size/length should work. Only issue then is whether the bulb has the correct "light" you want (daylight, etc.).

Good question-I use the curled fluorescent bulbs which have the standard bases. Sorry if I can't answer your specific question.

These bulbs have special components inside to produce UVA light; other than that they are configured just like regular lightbulbs, except that they focus all the light into one spot rather than cast it all around. Personally, I have stopped using this style of bulb... If you get a decent fluorescent UV light (the 12" kind, not compact fluorescent, though!) you can use a regular lightbulb, as long as the temperature at your basking spot is high enough. I like this set up better because the fluorescent bulbs produce UVA and UVB, while this bulb will only produce UVA.

It uses smaller chandelier type bulbs ... they are expensive but worth it. We love the light fixture.

I recently bought replacement bulbs from a different company and they have different colored bulbs. Daylight, Super White, Cool White, etc. I bought Daylight because that is what the original bulbs are supposed to be.

You would have to check your Owner's Manual for bulb type, and I highly recommend them. Bright white indeed! :)

I use a cfl and it works fine. I think the "traditional" bulb for this lamp is more indirect, but the socket is a standard size, so you should be able to screw anything into it.

I don't see why not. They appear to be sealed like any other light bulb on the market. So long as there is shielding from direct rain fall (as in a standard outdoor fixture) it should be fine. The only issue may be the light output. Generally outdoor lights for usable illumination are rated at 100 watts while this bulb is rated to replace 60 watt incandescent bulbs. It is still a bright light and perfect for indoor use or perhaps as a porch light, but as an area light for outdoors you may want something with more output.

I presume you are referring to energy saving bulbs, I guerss you can if you can get the correct cap. You should however use Rough Service RS bulbs which allow for frequent switching on and off and temperature fluctuations. See no value in using Compact Fluorescent bulbs.

Hi, thanks for posting your question. According to the product information available, this lamp uses (5) x 25 Watt Candelabra Base Bulbs or CFL equivalent. For future reference, this information is located to the right of the product picture on the Product Page. I hope this is helpful!
