can you use this adapter with a CFL 13W bulb?

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

So far I have had no issues using both regular incandescents as well as CFLs with it.

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

I dont know. I would guess it would depend if the light fixture itself were intended for out door use. The use of these adapters would not change any characteristics of the socket it was used on. It does lenghen the socket about a 1/2 inch so you have to make sure your light bulbs dont touch the sides of the light fixture.

yes I am using a 5 = 60 watt led bulb in one .The adapter converts a candelabra bulb base to a standard lamp size bulb .It does add about 1 1/2 inch length to the bulb fixture so make sure your bulb will fit if it's in a globe though.

You can in newer model Ott-Lites but an older, magnetic-ballast type Ott-lite can't work with electronic-ballast bulbs such as this or electronic-ballast 13W Ott-Lite bulbs.

You can use this CFL that is 100W equivalent but only consumes 23W. It works great for me and the item is really durable. Hope it helps Triangle Bulbs 23 Watt - 100 W Equal - Full Spectrum 5000K - CFL Light Bulb - E26 Base - Standard Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb

Yes, I have used it with the light socket adapter and it works. But remember to have the switch turned on. :-)

Yes you just have to make sure the Adapter is powerful enough like this one will work great http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KKU7U6WAnd then you can also use connectors like this Triangle Bulbs (Pack Of 3) LED strip light connector one end 4pin male connector, other end new type 10mm RGB connector,

Yes. I used a four bulb adapter and have four 45w bulbs lit with no problem. Not sure what the manufacturing specs say, but it works for me.

I'm sure you can use a 13 watt CFL bulb in this lamp (60 watt standard bulb equivalent). I have a 20 watt CFL (75 watt standard bulb equivalent) in mine and have had no issues. Have to turn switch 2 times to turn on since this is a 3 way 150 watt lamp, but that doesn't bother me any.

This adapter is made to convert the gu24 base to a standard g26 base so you can use other bulbs witht he standard base. As the gu24 is not that common now and expensive, actually not even stocked at Home Depot anymore. This will save alot in future electricity and bulb cost because you can use cheaper 1/3 price cfl and led bulbs even better.

Yes, CFL works, but I don't like the "warm up" time it takes them to hit their stated lumen output. The unit clearly states the maximum watts the unit can handle - which is pretty high.Like a previous responder, I switched over to led's. More expensive, of course.

I currently use a CFL bulb in mine. Only limit would be the size of the bulb (higher wattage = bigger bulb)

I do not know if that use is possible. If the light bulb is the same size and wattage it might work.

Sorry I returned this lamp due to shipping damage, but if memory serves me yes you can use a smaller CFL bulb in this fixture equivalent to a 100 watt incandescent. Hope this helps out!

It will not support normal cfl bulbs. It will support the more expensive "dimmable" cfl bulbs.

Yes. The CFL bulb will fit. That is the type I use and it works quite well.
