Can this product use a 23 watt gu24 base CFL?

Even when technically possible, I wouldn't advise to do it, as overall quality of the unit is not high and a higher inside temperature, generated by a higher wattage lamp, would easily ruin the unit. As an aside comment I installed 4 units in June 2014 and two of them are already broken (not functional at all) and the other two already need a bulb replacement

I don't think it's rated for it. But I would avoid this light. It stays on all day, due to it being under a 12" overhang. The sensor in mine doesn't ever turn the light off.

No, and it's junk! I have already replaced with a home depot product. They have similar at around $23

I have a 13 wt CFL installed. It's only rated for 60 wt standard. So you could put in a 23-26 wt CFL or LED as long as it has the standard bulb base you should be OK.

that is a great question---I do not know the answer. You'd better google the differenttypes of lamp bases. I use it with a regular old light bulb that you use with any lamp.

yeah, I have a 60w incandescent in mine, so I wouldn't see why a CFL wouldn't work.

There are GU-24 based LED bulbs available on Amazon, search GU-24 LED there are also converter bases if the bulb is short and will fit the space for the bulb and spacer. Try two 40 watt equivalent LEDs, should work OK and give plenty of light.

I don't see any reason you cannot. When you use the socket, the connection to your light bulb is not GU24 anymore.

It's possible you might find it, but it seems a little unlikely. It has the GU24 base, which I think is European. I've never seen any GU24 bulb for sale in my area, and I usually check out the lightbulbs when I'm in any store. The one I purchased was well packaged and arrived quickly. I'm very happy with it.

I see no reason why you cannot use a cfl bulb. Just make sure the wattage is no more than 40.

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

I am using it with a CFL, but not the 3-way kind, so I don't know if the latter would work.

It should work fine. We use this bulb in all of our table lamps. The bulb is a little bit longer, but that has not been a problem. Also we could remove all the harp spreaders we had installed to allow cfl's to be used.

Up to forty watt standard bulbs. You cannot use CFL bulbs as the switch has a built in dimmer not compatible with fluorescent bulbs.

That's right in the description: 150 watts LED / CFL, 600 watts incandescent. Just add the power requirements of all the bulbs controlled by the dimmer. For example, I'm using it to control 4 60 watt incandescent bulbs, total 240 watts. For LEDs / CFLs, use the actual power required, not the "equivalency". So a 23-watt CFL that says it's as bright as a 100 watt incandescent still only counts as 23 watts.

According to this article http://www2.buildinggreen.com/article/gu24-new-pin-base-cfls-leds (referenced by Wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GU24_connector ) Discussing "adapters that would allow the use of screw-in bulbs on a GU24" such as this one, David Schiller (VP of Maxlite Sales "and a former director of Energy Star's fixture program") is quoted as saying: "Underwriters Laboratories (UL) said they would never approve them, and the State of California made them illegal."

Thank you for your responses. Does CFL have to do with the size of the base? Is that why it wouldn't be compatible Raymond?

Yes you can, I use 85 watt CFL which is the same as a 450 watt standard, you must take in consideration of the extra heat, and adjust distance for umbrella use so as not to create a fire hazard. Cowboy studio has a standard medium based socket, so as long as your bulb has a medium base it will work.

Look up GU24 bulbs on Amazon. Plenty of choices available. You can also purchase a GU24 base adapter, which will allow you to screw a traditional bulb into the GU24 base. Then plug the GU24 base into the fan.
