Does this fan use bulbs with a standard-sized base? The description only specifies 13W CFLs.

No, the fan has a unique lighting system. The ends remind me of the fluorescent light ends. They are fairly easy to find,on-line, so not too worried about a burnout.

no, they are gu24 bulbs which are available at home depot. They are also available on-line. Easy to assemble, looks nice, quiet and sturdy.

No, they're not the standard screw-in base. They're two contact point, mini-CFLs. My best guess is you'd have to get replacements at Lowe's or Home Depot - anywhere that sells Hunter fans. Probably a good idea to stock up.

My husband had to purchase GU24 bulbs, they cost around $6.00 each at home depot, I found them cheaper on-line. Hope this helps:)

nope... this is for standard size light bulbs E27 and for video they are great... get 4 daylight colored CFL bulbs of the equivalent to 100 watts of old style light bulbs and you have a lot of nice light that does not generate a lot of heat...

actually its called a candelabra base, the smallest standard bulb. the only base smaller is the appliance base like for the refrig. shouldnt be hardto find this bulb, I get a 3-4 pak for a few dollars, like GE 25w, just make sure its the small base =]

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.

Yes, it comes with two 13W GU24 fluorescent bulbs. Similar to this one:Satco S8203 13 Watt (60 Watt) 800 Lumens Mini Spiral CFL Soft White 2700K GU24 Base Light Bulb

Namely's comments made me reply that this switch is NOT being used with a CFL! It is a ceiling mount light fixturewith regular 40 watt bulbs.

No, this has a normal light socket that will take any type of bulb. I have interior flood lights in mine. It can be wired to run the fan and light separately from two separate switches, or together on one switch, also.

Yes, it has the same size base. I love these bulbs they look beautiful in those type of fixtures!

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

the size wattage wise is up to the light itself, but it is for a standard size bulb base!!! like you have in all regular light fixtures!!!

No. It is a very small base. Smaller than standard bulbs and a little larger than candabra base.

It uses a standard E26, 100W max bulb. We are using an 18W E26 CFL with no problems.

I put in those conserv-energy coil shaped light bulbs. 13 watts of these bulbs equals 60 watts on a regular bulb. But you can use regular 60 watts bulbs as well.

I have not tried on CFL's only in use on chandelier lights with 25-60W candelabra standard bulbs.

It can take up to a 60w standard type A bulb or 13w CF bulb. Thanks for the question; I've updated my review to include the info on the CF bulb.

Does anyone know what wattage this Westinghouse 7871400 uses? I know based on the discussions in the reviews that it uses Candelabra type bulbs and it was noted in one review that the fan used 4 - 60 watt blubs and another said 4 - 40 watt blubs? What is the real answer? Thanks!

"Regular" size in the US is "Medium Base" AKA E26, E27. Many ceiling fans use the smaller "Candleabra Base". These bulbs are "Medium Base". There is also the less common "Intermediate Base" mostly used in microwaves or other appliances.
