Is this 5000K daylight bulb a fluorescent bulb?

yes, it's a fluorescent bulb. To have sufficient light for good photos, they need to be placed in less than 3 ft distance to the object. I create pet drinking fountains and make the product photos with those lights.

its called a daylight bulb & they are a fluorescent, which is what you want from what i have read. its bright and white, no yellow. im new to this also but it has worked great for increasing bright clean lighting and not having the shadowing that comes with lack of. good for smaller items, and helps if i need just a little more light for larger shoots

Yes, they are compact flurescent bulbs. My son broke one and I had a hard time finding a replacemnt of the same type, but a regular daylight bulb works.

Yes. The lamps arrived with compact fluorescent bulbs. They seem to be quick start with immediate full illumination.

I presume you are referring to energy saving bulbs, I guerss you can if you can get the correct cap. You should however use Rough Service RS bulbs which allow for frequent switching on and off and temperature fluctuations. See no value in using Compact Fluorescent bulbs.

The lamp has a screw in fluorescent "daylight" swirly 20W 1250 lumen bulb. The bulb has daylight stamped on the screw part of the bulb. I have not looked for a replacement yet. The bulb glow does not have a yellow cast to it. The shape of the lamp really directs a bright clear light. I do needlepoint and it works very well for me.

This is a special daylight bulb, neither CF nor LED. I think it is some type of fluorescent. I don't know about lumens. It is nice and bright, very good for needlework.

No. It uses some sort of special florescent bulbs available from the company. They are a special full spectrum, daylight bulb with a uv protecting coating.

I believe it is but check with Smarthome.com. This is a switch and should be OK, but if you decide to use their dimmers, I believe the are workable with Fluorescent. HTH. Good luck. I have a ton of this Insteon stuff and it all works as advertised. I love this stuff.... Bob

I don't have the box anymore, but this is more of a bright white. I have daylight bulbs that are at 6k that emit a slightly bluish color compared to bright white, these are bright white I would guess closer to 5k.

No. Only T5 bulbs work. Check this one out, it's what I use as replacement bulbs and it's even better than the ones included in this fixture. It gives off better light output and the quality of the product is superb. Hope it helps! (Pack of 6) F54T5/865/HO 54-Watt T5 High Output 6500K Daylight Bulbs

This is "daylight" like fluorescent - not cool light. It is very bright and we are very satisfied of the result !

Oh, no, no, no. It is a four HUNDRED watt bulb. You need a proper fixture and a ballast.

Yes. Mine is hooked to a dimmer switch. If using compact fluorescent bulbs, you will need to have a CFL rated dimmer switch installed also, as well as using dimable CFL bulbs.

We haven't needed to replace the bulb so I can only provide the labeling on the original bulb. It is as follows:FCL/T4 11W Daylight ( (- ROHS

It's fluorescent so my assumption is no. Fluorescents and voltage changes generally don't get along as I understand it. I'm no electrician though...

It has to be an incandescent bulb cannot be fluorescent. Otherwise it is defective.

No, all compact fluorescents use mercury vapor to generate light. If a bulb breaks, make sure to open your windows and air out the room.

I cannot answer your question as I do not have any fluorescent lighting in my home to try it for you. I'm sorry I could not help.
