Is it OK to use 1600 lumen GE CFL in a gooseneck desk lamp

It should be fine as it is only 26 watts, and most gooseneck lamps are rated for up to 60 watts.

i don't see any problem. you can use this CLF in a lamp that takes a 60 watt lightbulb. as a result, you get a brighter light (equiv. to a 100 watt) without the "heat" of an incandescent.

Yes I think you could. The focused light is great, the magnifation is excellent, and the gooseneck is flexible and very useful. I looked for months for the right lamp and even tested out a few. This one was the ultimate solution. Good luck.

I don't think you would have any problem using CFL especially with the low watt like that.

Lutron's "C*L Dimmer" Maestro line is made for use with dimmable LED and CFL bulbs (search model # MACL&#8209;153M). Even though you're not *supposed* to use LED's with this, I would think that as long as you have 60W total worth of bulbs running through it, it will be fine. For example, I currently have 6 recessed can flood lights running on one of these switches...if I switch to 65W-equivalent LEDs that will be roughly 57W...pushing my luck, but I expect it will work (I realize this isn't very helpful until I test it...just saying if it controls a single 60W incandescent bulb just fine, it should theoretically run six 10+ watt dimmable LED bulbs just fine as well. Would be very curious to see if anyone has tried this out that can confirm they were using this model of the Lutron switch and not one of the C*L's.

As per the included info paper, I used a short CFL 13w bulb equivalent to 60w incandescent......using on PC workstation desk, its perfect (for me)

I have not tried on CFL's only in use on chandelier lights with 25-60W candelabra standard bulbs.

Just checked today on Intermatic website ST01 specification resource and it lists CFL/LED compatible.

i can not recommend going higher then advertised wattage...however you can put a cfl bulb and get more output

Yes, as long as your lamp has a two pin base. As pictured the lamp sticks up out of the lamp fixture, not horizontally like some other halogen exterior lights. I use min in a fixture that can take 100 watts, but just like the old fashioned tungsten bulbs, you don't hurt anything my using lower wattage.

Alot depends on the size of the existing lamps (PAR38 100w?) and the height at which the fixture will be placed. Since it sounds as though this is for the function of the deck Vs just security I would go with a higher output. Haveing said that I would definetly reccommend LED for energy conservation and they attract "less" bugs. Good Luck

I'm using a CFL bulb and it is working fine. Check that the bulb is rated for lantern usage.

Yes , you can if it fits. The power (watts) that the bulbs draws is 60 watts, so it is well within the maximum rating for the lamp, as you said it is 150 watts.

I am not sure. JMK's review of Nov. 25, 2013 mentions using led's. I use cfl's.

I used it 500 watt lamp and it worked fine. For stronger 1500 Watt, I am not sure.

I didn't know before I read the previous answers which I found very helpful; also, I am assuming that I can switch this cfl bulb with a 60 watt incandescent bulb. I found this very helpful.

I use it in my desk lamp, Floor or desk it shouldn't matter as long as the connection is correct & wattage.

The answer is simple...current LED "bulbs" are not available higher than 75 or 100 incandescent watts (9 to 17 LED watts). The CFLs that come with the kit (45 CFL Watts) are equivalent to roughly 250 incandescent watts (though some sites claim 170). So physically...yes...realistically no due to lack of brightness.As a side note...I'm never sure why people answer these questions with "I don't know" or "Not sure...I don't own this"
