Can I use an incandescent bulb with this?

it comes with a special cfl bulb, the base is not screw in and even if you could get a incandescent bulb to fit, it would melt the plastic housing

Yes, you can use this bulb in place of a 'regular' screw-in incandescent or fluorescent bulb. It is a little larger than a regular bulb so may not fit in small fixtures. I put this bulb on my front porch, it's great - lights up at night when anyone approaches. No more fumbling for keys in the dark or wasting energy leaving lights on all night. I'm buying more.

You can us an LED bulb in place of the incandescent, but the circline bulb will still be fluorescent. You may want to get one of the "warm white" LEDs -- they will help balance the cool fluorescent as the incandescent would.

You can use a larger LED or CFL bulb. You just can not exceed the total lamp wattage of 150 watts. So if you added 2 Philips 100 watt EQUIVALENT LED bulbs it would be fine because the bulbs do not actually use 150 watts of power. Your only limitation is the size of the bulb.

Yes, if you have dimmer switches for the particular light fixture(s) in which you will use the bulbs. I have mine on dimmers.

Yes you can use incandescent medium based bulbs, but max wattage is 100 watt per receptacle.

We put a regular incandescent bulb in it. To be honest, I don't remember if it said NOT to use CFL. It is an open fixture, so I would think it is OK unless you don't want the screwy design of CFL to show...and not sure if it would. If you like the design, read the enclosures more carefully that we did.We have CFL wherever possible, so we are not anti-CFL, anti-halogen or anti-LED.

You could use a fluorescent bulb that works in a standard lamp. I use a LED bulb in mine.

I think you can use with dimmable led bulbs just with Lutron C.L dimmers. Take a look: http://www.lutron.com/Education-Training/LCE/Pages/DimmingCFLsandLEDs.aspx

Yes, it can. I use a regular light bulb and one side and a CFL in the other.... I would just be careful about the size of the CFL.

i'm sure you could if you find one small enough. i just used a clear christmas light bulb. you can only use up to 6 watts and the screw in part is really small. hope this helps..

I am not sure because I haven't tried. i suppose you could but since I don't own any LED bulbs I cannot really answer.

Yes, you can use an LED bulb as long as it fits within the parameters. The info lists: E26; Watt - 25W (60W Max). That means the LED must use less than 60W (which is very easy, the are almost always very low wattage), and it must have a standard base. It won't look at pretty, but will still be functional.

If you use an incandescent bulb, I don't see why you couldn't use a dimmer switch. I don't know how a CFL or LED bulb would work with a dimmer. We really have enjoyed our light. Very pleased with it.

Yes. Since it is operated by a 120v on-off switch you can use the compact fluorescent bulb.

Yes you can use led light bulbs with this provided they are standard light bulb sockets. I use led as well.
