Would this take the spiral fluorescent bulbs?

These that any size light bulb, I believe up to 60 watt. I am using 15w CF lights in them. They will also take LED lights to give you even longer lifetime.

Yes they do. As long as the bulb isn't too much bigger than a regular bulb.

I use this light with a dimmer, which needs incandescent bulbs. The energy saving spiral or twist bulbs also fit the socket of this light. I use these lights in my bedroom over each nightstand. Have had them for about a year - no problems at all - and still love them.

Yes, it does take spiral light bulbs. Those are the bulbs I'm using right now. (Great light fixture, easy to install and clean.)

There is room for a standard 100 W bulb. So, if the fluorescent is no larger than a regular bulb, it will fit. I don't see where there would be any issues with the starting power draw characteristics of a fluorescent lamp.

No it will not, Everything we have plugged in makes the bulbs blow the same day so we don't even use that option. Unfortunately, although it looks pretty, the product is a piece of junk.

Yes! I own two of these lights & have had compact fluorescent bulbs in them for the past year. No problems!

Untrue, the light heads are universal for fluorescent bulbs. I have actually replaced the generic bulbs from this kit for some w/ higher Watts as well as colored bulbs. I purchased mine at my local Batteries Plus... but you can find them online as well.

Yes. However you have to use the compact florescent bulb (CFB) type for this switch. They are the twirly ones.

I have it turning on 6 LED lights in series... as for fluorescents... I would have to say yes because you are not dimming the lights. It should work for any type of light.

I purchased this more for the stand, and softbox. You can always changed the bulb to get brighter. Not sure what the limit would be when using fluorescent lights.

As far as the lamp for this fixture it is outfitted with LEDs not the circular tube type fluorescent lamp. Hope this helps.

The fixture can take either florescent or led bulbs, but they have to have a standard base and be no bigger than a traditional incandescent bulb.

Probably, nothing would happen. When the fixture is converted to light the LED tube, one end has the black or hot wire, and the other end has the white or neutral wire. A fluorescent tube does not have a normally conductive path for the electricity to flow from one end of the lamp to the other. The fluorescent fixture has a ballast that uses high voltage to blast a charge through the tube via the gasses that are inside the tube. Any person that removes an LED tube from the fixture should notice that it is not a standard fluorescent tube; the differences are obvious.

Any fluorescent light fixture will work on these bulbs. You have to modify the fixture to direct route the line power directly into the end connections, by-passing the ballast. This is very easy to do and only takes a few minutes. I am sure they make fixtures without the balasts for these lamps, and if you are starting from scratch I would expect these to be cheaper than fluorescent lamp fixtures, maybe a little harder to find. I was retrofitting and replacing fluorescent bulbs with LED bulbs, so this conversion meant I did not have to buy new fixtures.

Designed for an incandescent, I had trouble fitting anything bigger than a 9W spiral CFL. Any LED bulbs that I'm aware of would be physically too big for the small horizontal bulb compartment. You might fit it in there, but you'd see where it rests against the glass diffuser.

if u mean not coiled by the long tube uvb bulbs no they won't fit. This light fixture has bulb sockets.

I'm saying no,but contact the company to make sure. The bulbs that you receive are huge.

Don't believe so for the bulb itself. Only if the switch is a dimmer switch would you have a dimmable item. By the way, these bulbs are not worth the money and trouble, they burn out very quickly. I want to find a different lightbulb source!

If the new type of lightbulb (coil type) is considered fluorescent, then the answer is yes. I use 8 of those types of bulbs that are controlled by this unit.
