With incandescent bulbs being phased out can any of the newer type bulbs be used?

I know it takes a special bulb, but I cannot really answer your question. Sorry

Not sure but I think they will as long as they have the same base. Now some of the fluroscent bulbs don't always work well with motion sensor lights. The led may be better. But I think you will still be able to get the others for quite some time. Just buy you about twenty bulbs. I've had the same ones in mine for over two years...of course they're only set as night motion sensor lights.

I do not know. However, we are using a decorate 2 stage indoor/outdoor bulb that is shaped like a candle flame. It is very pretty. The 2 stage allows the light to be on at night with a dimmer light. This stays on as long as it is dark. When a person reaches the sensor area the brighter stage of the light comes on.We purchased 4 units and are very pleased with them - no problems what so ever.

I use the Verilux natural spectrum compact flourescent bulb which fits like the previous incandescent bulbs. No problem, I like this lamp very much. Here is the link to the Verilux site if you are interested: http://www.verilux.com/compact-fluorescent-bulbs/compact-fluorescent/

Lowe's or Home depot has the bulbs. Take the old one to find the suitable match.

Should be able to do so. They are standard light bulbs, and should be able to be replaced with LED's. Ours have worked fine, the bulbs will discolor over time.

There would be no bulbs to replace because the lighting mechanism uses an LED. I don't know if you can replace LED's.

I've only used them with incandescent bulbs so can't really answer that. You may try asking the manufacturer of the unit, or else just expect to use the older bulbs. Sorry I can't be of more help.

It will take anything with a candelabra base. Big box stores like Home Depot and Lowes are selling both CFC and LED bulbs with candelabra bases now. There's no need to worry about incandescents being phased out since CFCs and LEDs draw so much less power. It's almost impossible to overload an older fixture with a CFC or LED. You can replace any incandescents you have around the house with CFC or LED bulbs as long as they have the same style base.

Yes - these bulbs are inherently less bright than traditional bulbs (due to design) -- as you would expect, old light bulbs from many years ago don't produce as much light as current bulbs... having said that, there are no special requirements with regard to dimming - any incandescent dimmer will work with these bulbs as long as it is rated for the wattage (which virtually all dimmers are... only an issue if you put a bunch on one circuit) -- I love em... and I use a dimmer All the best - George

I use all five that I installed with decorative incandescent light bulbs. Any LED bulbs that are also dimmable would work. I think you will have a problem IF you try to use CFL (florescent) bulbs because these lights dim by cutting voltage.

They make an LED version, but I don't think you can replace the CFLs that come with it.

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

The new LEDs many take the same space as the old incandescent bulbs but are not as bright. I use old 100w bulbs.

they use a standard light bulb base. So I believe the new LED lights that have that type of base should work fine.

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: LED bulbs can be used whereever incandescents can be used, including with dimming. It's CFLs you have to worry about. (CFLs do work in this fixture, by the way)

If you use an incandescent bulb yes. You would probably need a special dimmer for the new type spiral tube bulbs

Only use CFL (curly Q bulbs) that are designated as "dimmable". LED and standard incandescent bulbs should work fine.

yes you can use the current bulbs.Please let me know if there is anything else i can do for you or if you have any questions.Sincerely,Shannon
