Initially the CFL's I have didn't fit, but by twisting the 2 bases toward the center post I gained about 1/4" clearance and there was just enough room for the bulbs to fit and the cover to go on.

I have CFL bulbs in mine and they do not stick out. The lamp is a large size lamp and can accommodate regular size bulbs.

The base is standard width and fits my "top hat" recessed fixtures. While the glass spiral is wider than other lower watt CFL's I've used, it still will fit any standard lighting fixture.

Not a good idea if the ceiling fan has an enclosed cover. These bulbs are halogen and get hot and have a small candelabra base. I don't think your ceiling fan has a candelabra base.

Yes, it appears that it should work, but the size might be difficult find (candelabra base) in CFL. It is a smaller bulb and base than a 'standard' light bulb.

We put a regular incandescent bulb in it. To be honest, I don't remember if it said NOT to use CFL. It is an open fixture, so I would think it is OK unless you don't want the screwy design of CFL to show...and not sure if it would. If you like the design, read the enclosures more carefully that we did.We have CFL wherever possible, so we are not anti-CFL, anti-halogen or anti-LED.

I'm saying no,but contact the company to make sure. The bulbs that you receive are huge.

I am using CFL bulbs inside the opener. I don't see why LED bulbs wouldn't work as long as they fit inside physically.

I don't believe they make cfl in the size u need. It takes a size Ca bulb which is a smaller size base made for some fans and lights.

These are designed for Incandescent bulbs only. They make other dimmers for dimmable CFL bulbs & other dimmers for Led bulbs. There are many brands of dimmers. You really need to check out the MFG's recommendations when buying dimmers.

Looks like about a 4-inch depth - I'm using a 57W regular bulb and there's just about an inch from the end of the bulb to the edge of the shade. Should work for your CFL.

No these are the old style incandescent bulb. We use in fixtures with dimmers that cfl's won't work with.

I didn't like the look of the bulbs that came with it (and two were broken anyway :-( so I went to Home Depot and found some clear bulbs with the small screw part and they fit, no problem. I would look at Home Depot or Lowe's. Hope that helps.

Yes, but CFL worked better for me on this fixture. I'd really recommend using a 100W equivalent CFL bulb. It 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.

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.

CFL bulb fit just fine. That is the only bulb I have used in it, and it has stood up to daily use with zero problems and zero failures.

None that I am aware of at present. I installed my Full Spectrum Light Bulbs (ALZO 45W CFL) in light sockets without a globe or shade (not my original plan). Used in this fashion they throw a lot of light as long as you aren't too concerned about appearances.One is mounted horizontally and another vertically. Both have been in service since the beginning of this year without any problem.
