Can you use compact fluorescent light bulbs instead of regular bulbs?

Yes - You can use CFLs in any regular light bulb socket - where have you been past few years? :-) And yes I have CFLs in these lamps as well as 100% of my house. Out of 5 stars I would rate these lamps 3.5. Not quite as nice as I was hoping. Look great in the evening light, not so great in daylight.

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

Yes! We have 2 table lamps and 2 floor lamps in this style and we use compact flourescents in all of them. I love these lamps- they are beautiful.

We use a standard long life 60 watt incandescent bulb which lasts a long time but a compact flourescent would probably work OK. Don't use halogen type bulbs, they generate too much heat.

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.

Hello, thank you for the question and interest. Yes you can use the newer bulbs.

Yes, you can use CFLs. I put small flood bulb in mine to use as a task light. Works and looks great.

Yes, but the compact bulbs used, need to be labeled "dimmable" or compatible with dimmers.

The bulb provided with the cabinet has a standard bulb base. It has the shape of a long tube, there is not a lot of room in the light fixture for a standard round bulb. I have purchased energy efficient bulbs in the past that would fit in the space provided so I would say - Yes, you could use energy efficient bulbs as long as they are more of a tube shape than a round shape.

No, you cannot use CFL bulbs. However, it works very well with regular light bulbs.

We do not and most compact fluorescent do not work well with dimmers and it is not recommended

Thank you for your question. Per the description: it is capable of using a 75-watt incandescent or 15-watt compact fluorescent bulb.

You can replace the bulbs with these fluorescent tubes, it's what worked best for me. Hope it helps! (Case of 10) F32T8/SP41 Linear Fluorescent 32-Watt T8 FO32 741 Light Bulb 48"

It has a regular light bulb socket. I am not familiar with compact fluorescent bulbs to know if one would fit. If it fits in the same space as a regular bulb I would say it should work.

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

Yes, regular incandescent light bulbs will fit, but anything over 40 watts will be very hot. The recommended fluorescent bulb will run much cooler and last way longer.

As long as the bulb packaging states that the compact fluorescent bulbs are dimmable then the dimmer will work. The issue is with the bulbs not the type of dimmer you choose.

Yes, I use compact fluorescents in mine. The glass is frosted. Because the shade is a camel color, the fluorescents don't throw off the stark white light that they normally do. It gives off a nice warm light even using the CFLs. Hope this helps!
