Can it use fluorescent bulbs?

If you mean compact fluorescent bulbs, certainly. Just make sure to get the right base size.

Yes. It acts as an on/off switch so even non-dimmable bulbs will work. I have two controlling CFLs non problem, and will eventually replace them with LEDs when the time comes.

I do not believe so, it had only an off and on, but it does have two bulbs in it, so i believe their is a way, best to contact the manufacturer. good luck.

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 :) All you need are two fluorescent tube bulbs. I'd really recommend that you use these fluorescent tubes. It worked best for me in terms of lighting (that is, if you want your light to be bright but also very pleasing for the eyes) and this bulb, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient. Hope it helps! (Case of 10) F32T8/SP41 Linear Fluorescent 32-Watt T8 FO32 741 Light Bulb 48"

I presume you are referring to energy saving bulbs, I guerss you can if you can get the correct cap. You should however use Rough Service RS bulbs which allow for frequent switching on and off and temperature fluctuations. See no value in using Compact Fluorescent bulbs.

In my opinion the answer is yes as long as it is a CFL or Incandessent bulb.

I don't see why not since it's just a standard light socket. But I would still use one of those energy saving bulbs that has the equivalent brightness of a 100 watt incandescent bulb. For example, I'm using a 20 watt LUMAcoil bulb which is equivalent to a 75watt incandescent bulb.

There are no limitations to bulbs that can be used so long as they are rated 110v. However, if the bulb is not dimmable (like fluorescents) then the switch won't dim the bulb. It will just turn it on and off. You would need to use a dimmable bulb for the switch to be able to work as designed.

I purchased this more for the stand, and softbox. You can always changed the bulb to get brighter. Not sure what the limit would be when using fluorescent lights.

Thank you for your question. Per the description: it is capable of using a 75-watt incandescent or 15-watt compact fluorescent bulb.

It has to be an incandescent bulb cannot be fluorescent. Otherwise it is defective.

Yes, but I think that would give you so much light. Just a suggestion, tho. I'd really recommend that you use these fluorescent tubes. It worked best for me in terms of lighting (that is, if you want your light to be bright but also very pleasing for the eyes) and this bulb, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient.

Yes, I have it operating with metal halide bulbs for outside lighting. DO NOT USE FOR FLORESCENT

I believe you can. It uses a common Mogul socket which should work with a higher wattage bulb and since the ballast is built in to the bulb, this would not be an issue. If you are still in doubt, I would ask a electrician but I don't foresee any problems.

Depends on the type of bulb used. If you use compact fluorescent bulbs, then no, just warm. If you use incandescent bulbs then maybe, depending on the wattage of the bulb.
