If I wanted to put a stronger Daylight CFL in the lamp, what would be the strongest (highest) wattage, and is it a generic CFL bulb?

Inside the lamp "shade " it says "Use only Max 20 Watts Type Self Ballusted Compact Fluorescent". The lamp itself is a U15200 and printed on the base is "1170 lumens 6500K". It certainly casts a very blue shade of white light. I should think you can source that specific lamp by its code, and screw it into any standard fixture and save a bunch of money!

It comes with a 20W standard CFL bulb with standard sized base. There is a label inside the shade that indicates 20W max. I hope that helps.

The box says 100 watt type lC. I just used a 100 watt standard incandescent in it. Anything smaller would work or possibly a cfl is same or smaller in physical size...

i had a Utilitech 15watt bulb for almost a year in it and it just died. i just started researching about why and i have a feeling this model isn't rated for CFLs since they have their own CFL specific dimmers. i'm not finding anywhere with a list of approved CFL bulbs for it either.

inside there is a glass bottle upside down, that threads to the bottom of the lamp. Think about a glass jar with a round bottom to cover the light bulb.You can use any light bulb up to 60 watts I think. I use the spiral daylight 13 watts and they look great.You can use any regular light bulb up to 60 watts I think.

Our unit is meant for 40w bulb. You can use CFL equivalent to a 40w reg. bulb.

It's in medium base. For me, it's not true that LEDs are better than CFLs because for me, this works better. Not just that it's so much brighter compared to that LED, but it's also longer lasting.

I have CFL bulbs in this light and have had no problems at all. Equivalent to 40 watts in each light.

That is 100 watts per socket. But since 100 incandescent are extinct, I've been using 60's and it looks very nice. Now they're going extinct too. I hate CFLs. Poisonous Mercury in them.

I see no reason why you cannot use a cfl bulb. Just make sure the wattage is no more than 40.

It's gold, and it's really classy looking. Just a suggestion, tho. 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.

The warning label on the bulb socket states "Maximum 13 Watts" with a picture of a CFL Bulb below it, it's safe to say, no, most likely not.

I have two of these lamps. My bulbs are still good but here what i would do-- I just searched amazon for "300w cfl" and several products came up. I would probably get the "Square Perfect Professional Quality 85 Watt Compact Fluorescent Full Spectrum Photo Bulb Photography" Best of luck to you!

I tried a 60w regular bulb and might have been able to get it in but it would really be tight and I was afraid I might break it. A higher wattage bulb might work if it has a longer neck.

To be specific: Fluorescent with a standard screw-in bulb base. 45 watt, 110-130v. Daylight(5500K) color spectrum. Each "light" has 4 lamps. Can find similar at the hardware store, but mine(Home Depot) does not carry this specific wattage/color combination. I already tried after I broke one. I needed to get a replacement from a specialty lighting store.

100 watts is 100 watts. It's the amount of power the lamp is rated to sustain safely. The type of bulb doesn't matter at all. This bulb can be used, assuming that it physically fits. Many larger CFL bulbs are bigger than standard incandescents and will not fit in all lamps.They say "300 watt equivalent" to let you know much LIGHT it produces in terms of the incandescent bulbs you are used to, but it has nothing to do with the power rating of the lamp.
