If you mean Compact Flourescent Light (CFL), then yes. Mine is running an one of these:Exo Terra Repti-Glo 5.0 Compact Fluorescent Tropical Terrarium Lamp, 26-Watt

No. A mercury vapor bulb is a HID lamp, high intensity discharge. It uses a mogul base socket which is larger than standard Edison base bulb

I would assume that it would. Under the technical details, it says "OPERATES INCANDESCENT, FLUORESCENT, MERCURY VAPOR AND SODIUM FIXTURES", and since--according to Wikipedia--metal-halide lamps are "similar to mercury vapor lamps", I think you'll be okay.

You will have to make your own clamp. I used the clamp off my old mercury light fixture

yes....I use florescent but any light bulb that will screw into a regular light will work.

Yes it is a bigger bulb and the watt rating on the bulb has to be the same as the base. Also this one is a Mercury Vapor light, shows white, not Sodium, which shows yellow. My wife wanted the white glow, and I do like the light.

Yes you can. I have standard 60 watt bulbs in mine. They give off more mood lighting. They look great!

You can use any bulb that you prefer as long as it fits with the base, the fixture's dimension and the maximum wattage allowed. But, yes. I highly recommend if you'll use an LED because it doesn't heat up. What I use for this one is actually a globe bulb. I love it because the lighting is very pleasing in the eyes. Bright yet cozy. Plus, it's really durable and high quality. Hope it helps!

I think you can, i use it in a Lumatek Dimmable Ballast and it works fine, but i won't recommend to use it in less than 100%, it would consume the same power and will short the lifespan of the bulb.

Yes you can use regular light bulbs but the light is not designed for them. The bulbs will have a shorter usage before they burn out and there is an additional threat of fire from overheating.

Yes, if you put in a dimmer switch. But you can't use florescent bulbs, dimmers don't work with those.

Yes you can. It's a so called RV or boat lamp. It is very unreliable however. I would not buy this lamp again.

!!! NO !!! Nor can you use a Different Wattage Lamp! Ofcourse, I guess you could take all the "Ballast Stuff" out and then replace with just a "Regular Bulb"

Any size of bulb can be used; however, the bulb must be a "dimmable" bulb. Check the bulb package. Ones that are NOT "dimmable" are so marked. Hope this helps. crn

Yes, you can use these replace the Xenon bulb with the ceramic G9 base. Typically the Xenon bulbs are 35 watts while these are only 25 watts. These may run a bit hotter than the Xenon bulbs, but that has not been a problem for me so far and I have been using them since January 2013 for under cabinet lighting. The only issue may be if you need to use them in an application where they must be dimmable. I have not tried them in that application.

This bulb will not work with an electronic ballast, only a magnetic HPS. This is a conversion bulb from HPS to MH.

Your lamp should have a label on it stating what is the maximum acceptable wattage. Using a wattage higher than recommended could be a serious fire hazard, especially with a halogen bulb. It could even cause glass to shatter violently in some fixtures since these bulbs generate a lot of heat. Be sure to check for the label before installing a higher wattage bulb, if you can't find the label stick with the 190 watt bulb.

Yes it will. If the paper lantern holder fits then just use the recommended wattage for the bulb and it'll be fine
