can you use a regulat light bulb

Yes, regular incandescent light bulbs will fit, but anything over 40 watts will be very hot. The recommended fluorescent bulb will run much cooler and last way longer.

We're very pleased with 13w daylight Mini-spiral CFLs (=60W incandescent) for reading.

I did use one of those elongated lightbulbs, about 5 inches long and 1.5 inches wide, because I did not like how the CFL looked. It was too bright. It works fine.....I wish the damned slider pole could be tightened, however!

No. You will need to buy bulbs that are labeled as dimable. The dimmer switch used will have to be for cfl bulbs and match the power consumption rating matches the particular bulbs you buy.

Hello, thank you for the question and interest. Yes you can use the newer bulbs.

yes. you could use standard base incandescent or cfl bulbs, but it looks best with 3" globe bulbs.

I have to use incandescent bulb because with dimmable CFL it was making humming noises. When I called the support, they suggest using regular incandescent bulb or else I will fry my Maestro fan control.

You can use it in any light socket that is the correct size for the base. Nice for parties or just a mood setting light. Very relaxing. Love it! Where ever you put it you enjoy this product.

I think you can, i use it in a Lumatek Dimmable Ballast and it works fine, but i won't recommend to use it in less than 100%, it would consume the same power and will short the lifespan of the bulb.

You can use regular bulbs, the sockets are the same size as the regular bulbs.

You can, but the light bulbs that are supplied are for photography and minimize glare.

Any size of bulb can be used; however, the bulb must be a "dimmable" bulb. Check the bulb package. Ones that are NOT "dimmable" are so marked. Hope this helps. crn

An LED light can be used. It is designed for use with one standard E26 bulb up to 200 Watts (not included).

Yes you can only if it has the same plug in and its a 6 volt, a 12 volt bulb wont shine for anything it dosent have enough

I assume you could as long as the base of the light bulb is the same size. To be on the safe side could call Hunter and ask them.

Get the CFL bulb that is dimmable. Then you can use it. The normal ones don't work with a rheostat. Your builder is correct about the non-dimmable CFLs.

I use mine with Halogen bulb in one of those torchiere floor lamps after its dimmer switch melted.

I have regular old soft white light bulbs in there. I like the way it looks. we do have it on a dimmer so we can have it bright or "moody"
