can it take a cfl bulb

I would say no. I have a 3 way CFL bulb in it now and it works on the second click and at about the low light - 50 watt setting only. I will likely return unless I have to pay shipping and it's expensive. regular Incandescent bulbs give off a lot of heat at 150 watt setting.

Yes, but mine is not 3 way then. I get light on the second twist of the switch.

I have had problems with CFLs and LEDs in this lamp. They burn out quickly. I believe it has to do with the transformer in the power cord.

Not sure what a cfl bulb is. I don't no why you would want anything other then a 3 way. It's a great feature. Tell what a cfl is and I will try it.

I don't know what you mean by an cfl. But I will tell you it works only on regular light bulbs. Round ones.

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.

It takes up to a 100w incandescent or 23w cfl bulb. It's a chain pull so it will NOT accept a 3 way bulb.

To my knowledge, I don't think so.There are cfl bulbs that are specifically designed for dimmer operation.

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.

I don't think so. The device is designed to create a suction between the bulb and the attachment. Not sure how you would create this suction on a cfl bulb.

I'm sure you can use a 13 watt CFL bulb in this lamp (60 watt standard bulb equivalent). I have a 20 watt CFL (75 watt standard bulb equivalent) in mine and have had no issues. Have to turn switch 2 times to turn on since this is a 3 way 150 watt lamp, but that doesn't bother me any.

Yes, it will take standard Edison screw based bulbs. It is shipped with an Edison screw based CFL, but you can use a standard A-19 bulb if you wish, perhaps in conjunction with a dimmer switch.

Yes Cheryl it will work with CFL bulbs. I have two lamps on one remote outlet one of the lamps has a standard bulb and the other has a CFL and the remote works flawlessly, I would't want to be without my wireless remote control!

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.

Dimable CFL might work, or if at least one standard bulb is in the circuit it might also work

It takes most standard incandescent bulbs except for the ones that have multiple brightness settings. It does not work with the compact fluorescent bulbs even though they fit in the socket.

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.

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.

I have not tried CFL's, but I don't see why not. It works in a normal 110-120 volt line.

I don't believe so unless its a small base CFL and not on a dimmer light switch. It takes a small base bulb 60 watt same as and is a candle bulb. It does an ok job of lighting the room, I probably could change it up with a higher watt bulb. It may not light a large room as the only light. My boys and I love fan and light. It really looks awesome and works great. It is easy to install. I would recommend it.
