Will this run CFL lighting?

Yes it will, no problem. LEDs are better though. Cfls have a very poor power factor and are less efficient.

you need a swinewave . i would go with straight dc . bulbs from montana light .they have web site

It has ran fluorescent tube lighting in my shop without issue. I do not have any cfl's to test. I run mostly LED lighting and it runs that without issue. The people at Tripp Lite are very helpful and normally respond to questions quickly. I highly recommend them.

It can use either a 60 watt or 13w CFL. I am using both and the light is good.

ireally do not remember, ihave a cfl in mine. but i would guess up to a 60w

Yes this is designed for incandescent lights & halogen lights are a high efficiency incandescent light. Will not work properly with CFL but may work with LED depending on the particular bulb.

As much as CFLs can be, yes. It isn't at full brightness right away, but it warms up quickly.

It's working great for me with 3 9.5-watt Cree dimmable LEDs. It definitely won't work with CFL's unless they are specifically dimmable CFL's, and probably not even then.

Yes, I'm using it with a CFL right now. I would assume it would be fine with an LED as well.

I have not tried CFL's, but I don't see why not. It works in a normal 110-120 volt line.

CFL's are fluorescent so should work. Regarding the switch working outside of the factory specifications, I would suggest following them. The company that makes the switches sets a standard where the product will work and work properly for its "life" time. Unless you are an electrical and / or electronic engineer, I would recommend following the factory specifications to ensure proper results.

Yes. I have three cfls in it equivalent to 60watts each and it's very bright.

I think not. The lamp's shade is plastic and the heat from a 23W CFL might degrade it. At any rate, the manufacturer was quite specific in calling for the wattage they called for and no more.

I don't know if CFL would handle this type, since it doesn't just cut on and off, the lights brighten and dim with my incandescent bulbs in it. It isn't marked as CFL compatible.

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

If you mean Compact Flourescent Light (CFL), then yes. Mine is running an one of these:Exo Terra Repti-Glo 5.0 Compact Fluorescent Tropical Terrarium Lamp, 26-Watt

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.

It should have no problems with CFL or LED bulbs, it does not alter the electrical current going through it. I use it for my home theater projector (connected as if it was the fan).

Dimable CFL might work, or if at least one standard bulb is in the circuit it might also work
