Can a standard base cfl bulb work with this ?

The bulb uses a larger than what I would call a standard base, so I would say no. The light puts out quite a bit of light for 65watts, but not immediately. It starts fairly dim and takes a couple of minutes to get to full on.

I dont think so the guts of the light has a transformer to make flourescent type work

Sorry for the late response, but no. It's a very different bulb style from CFL. I have found replacement bulbs at Home Depot and Lowes.

It works with any CFL bulb with a standard thread http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005P29K1S/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 is what I have in mine over some seedlings right now

It will not support normal cfl bulbs. It will support the more expensive "dimmable" cfl bulbs.

yes....I use florescent but any light bulb that will screw into a regular light will work.

Yes, the CFL bulbs won't make any difference however mine didn't work at all so I'd be a bit hesitant to make the purchase if I were you. Had nothing to do with the type of bulbs it just wouldn't work.

Hi there...I purchased a converter from amazon and now I could use any standard base screw type light bulb. Hope this helps.

I would assume so. It just provides power to your fixture, so if your fixture can do CFL, then you should be fine.

You can use any bulb that you prefer as long as it fits with the base, the fixture's dimension and the maximum wattage allowed. But, yes. I highly recommend if you'll use an LED because it doesn't heat up. What I use for this one is actually a globe bulb. I love it because the lighting is very pleasing in the eyes. Bright yet cozy. Plus, it's really durable and high quality. Hope it helps!

Yes this fixture will accept CFL bulbs with a medium base, but you may not like how it looks since the glass is clear. I would suggest using a clear incandescent bulb and put a dimmer on the switch to saving electricity.

Yes, we have a 3 way cfl bulb in the upper light and a regular cfl bulb in the lower (side) light. The sockets are standard size, and there is no problem in using cfl bulbs with a standard size base.

Don't Know if CFL will work or not, have not tried a CFL bulb in the socket but I suspect that they will fit and if they fit, they will work. Some CFL's come on slow so you may be beyond the light before it comes on enough to see.

Yes, you can use regular bulbs, and it is cast aluminum (top and pole) and the base is hard plastic (similar to the bases for outdoor umbrellas),

Yes, any standard lamp with any kind of light bulb will work with this product.

Yes. I put in an adapter to take it from a candelabra base bulb (which it requires) to a standard base and used a 60 watt Edison style bulb.

yes it should work well especially is the bulbs are standard bulbs. The only small issue I have found Is when using on a CFL bulb when you turn the switch completely off the light will still occasionally flicker at a very low light. It is not a huge issue. When using standard bulbs this is not a problem.
