Can this shade be clipped on a CFL bulb?

The shade is meant to clip on standard bulb. CFL bulbs come in many formats so may not work. I used new led bulbs that do come in standard format. They draw 8.5 watts and give 75 watts of light. Electric company paid for half so the cost me $5.00 and tested to last 22.5 years. hope that helps.

I haven't tried to use it on a CFL bulb; the clips are designed to be used on a round shaped bulb

It was clearly designed for the more globe type bulbs, having wires meant to clamp down on that shape, but I imagine that it would also work on that type of bulb with a little adjusting.

The shade has a 3-wire suspender that latch on the stem rod of the 3-light kit. The suspender (obviously) attaches on top of the 3-light fixture. I only bought the shade that is shown in this setup. I can't respond accurately to your second question. If i have to guess, as long as the same general look/shade configuration, it will attach to the 3-light fixture. No guarantees tho.

It will not support normal cfl bulbs. It will support the more expensive "dimmable" cfl bulbs.

The clip is meant to fit around a bulb shaped bulb so if you are thinking of a conventional "curly" CFL it won't work.

I think not. The lamp's shade is plastic and the heat from a 23W CFL might degrade it. At any rate, the manufacturer was quite specific in calling for the wattage they called for and no more.

The clips hold only the trim. The bulb is supported separately via the light socket

I'm going to say I don't know because I couldn't find CFL bulbs to fit. This uses a short bulb which are provided with the lamp. I wanted something frosted, so I purchased regular bulbs.

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

We have an LED bulb in it and it does not come to the top of the shade. We have a Cree LED 60 watt and it works wonderful. Go for it, you will be very happy and remember you heard it here first.

None that I am aware of at present. I installed my Full Spectrum Light Bulbs (ALZO 45W CFL) in light sockets without a globe or shade (not my original plan). Used in this fashion they throw a lot of light as long as you aren't too concerned about appearances. One is mounted horizontally and another vertically. Both have been in service since the beginning of this year without any problem.

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.

This type of shade fits once you pull the cord tight. You are not able to get it to fit right until the bulb is in place.

I clipped it on a 40 watt standard bulb, fit perfectly. The clamp is flexible enough to move as needed. Hope this helps

Yes it does clip to the bulb is very small , and it will work the cover project that you have

I don't see why not. It depends on the type of shade. As the bulb hangs down from the socket a normal shade would have to be attached upside down.

I haven't tried it on a CFL bulb but you should be able to use the fitting for floodlights to change out a CFL bulb. Be sure to wear eye protection in case the bulb fractures. You don't want the powder inside the tube to get in them.
