What is the type of CFL bulb ( daylight or softwhite)? Can I use normal 23watt CFL bulb with this lamp?

I assume that you can use any of them. I chose this item because I wanted to use LED bulbs in them. LED bulbs outshine other lights without any appreciable heat, while using a fraction of the electricity. I am very satisfied with this item and the LED bulbs I use in them.

I don't think it came w a bulb, but if it did, it's soft light or bright light not day light

I use a 60W equivalent LED bulb and it's been working great. It doesn't heat up or anything so I'd really recommend it. Plus, the bulb's brightness is sufficient but very relaxing for the eyes, at the same time.

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 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.

These lamps use a GU24 bulb, which is a two-prong type of bulb. Very Expensive! About $7.50 each at Home Depot. I bought two converters on Ebay for about $1.25 (including shipping) that change it from two-prong to a standard screw in bulb. I plan to switch to screw-in CFL's when the current bulbs burn out.Not sure what type of LED you want to use, but this info. will get you started.

I have these lamps from a few years ago and had a hard time finding replacement bulbs. I ended up just buying regular lightbulbs that fit, but stuck way too far out and did not work well. The specs listed say "30 Watt 5000K Daylight Balance Compact Fluorescent Photo Light Bulbs" which can be bought on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/CowboyStudio-Daylight-Balanced-Fluorescent-Bulb/dp/B001MLBK0U/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1394214764&sr=8-2&keywords=30+Watt+5000K+Daylight+Balance+Compact+Fluorescent+Photo+Light+Bulbs But if it's saying 45W on what you have, then I guess the specs above are wrong! They do have 45W here: http://www.amazon.com/CowboyStudio-Fluorescent-Daylight-Temperature-Photography/dp/B004LONG0W/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1394215030&sr=8-2&keywords=45+Watt+5000K+Daylight+Balance+Compact+Fluorescent+Photo+Light+Bulbs

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.

The product just include one type B bulb for the reading lamp. We installed a CFL bulb of 23w, it works well.

I use a 23 watt CFL in my fixture with no problem. The limitation of the fixture is wattage so CFL and LED lights are ok if they will fit inside the globe.

I have two of these lamps. My bulbs are still good but here what i would do-- I just searched amazon for "300w cfl" and several products came up. I would probably get the "Square Perfect Professional Quality 85 Watt Compact Fluorescent Full Spectrum Photo Bulb Photography" Best of luck to you!

This is a very bright bulb, 250 to 300 watt equivelent. I use it in the gararge. There are two differant colors, a soft yellow light regular house lighting and daylight which is very white like store lighting. Works well for me as I only have one central light in my gararge and used to have a 200 watt bulb there which drew a lot of electricity, this only draws 50 watts and mmuch brighter. Too bright for indoors in my opinion.

you need at least a 85w CFL (300w) equivalent light source. I suggest that you purchase two of them. The 45W (120W) equivalent light source is just not adequate. (400W) would be better but your light socket may not be rated for this one.

Yes, we use CFL's in both of ours. We just have to click the switch twice, instead of once, to turn on the lamp. We really like the lamps.

Actually, I'd really recommend that you use an LED bulb for this lamp since it doesn't heat up. Also, using a 40W equivalent LED Globe bulb worked best for me in terms of lighting (that is, if you want your light to be bright but also very relaxing for the eyes) and this bulb, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient.

Amazon sells one. The CFL bulb is made by Eiko- 49230, also known as QT13/G24D1/65.

Not 400 W incandescent! However, an LED or CFL bulb with an *equivalent luminance of 400W* is probably OK.

Thanks y'all! I bought trial versions of the 60W-equiv. (soft white) and the 100W-equiv. ('daylight') -- and LOVE them! In fact, I'm thinking I won't be able to use four daylight 100W in my standing lamp -- that would make the (two-story, great room) living room look like a hospital operating theater!!(Oh, and John? Other descriptions say those (other?) bulbs use the "Cree LED Filament Tower Technology" to make the light be 'thrown around' like an incandescent, rather than focused like a spotlight. This 'ad' doesn't include that info -- so I didn't know if CREE used to make one without the 'circle of light.' Hence my question.) Thanks y'all! I bought trial versions of the 60W-equiv.

To be specific: Fluorescent with a standard screw-in bulb base. 45 watt, 110-130v. Daylight(5500K) color spectrum. Each "light" has 4 lamps. Can find similar at the hardware store, but mine(Home Depot) does not carry this specific wattage/color combination. I already tried after I broke one. I needed to get a replacement from a specialty lighting store.

This model is only supposed to work with incandescent bulbs. Mine worked fine for two years with two 14W CFLs but then stopped turning the lights on. Do not buy this model is you plan on using it with CFL or LED, buy the ST01 instead.
