Can this lamp take either a CFL bulb or incandescent light bulb?

I believe I have CFL bulbs in it as I use them throughout the house except where I have changed to LED.

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.

Our unit is meant for 40w bulb. You can use CFL equivalent to a 40w reg. bulb.

Yes, it will take standard Edison screw based bulbs. It is shipped with an Edison screw based CFL, but you can use a standard A-19 bulb if you wish, perhaps in conjunction with a dimmer switch.

I use CFL bulbs for both lights on the lamp. On the lower light the bulb shows a little, but it doesn't bother me and I would rather use a CFL light than the one provided. The CFL light works fine on the top and you can't tell at all.

Ca has laws in place that require fixtures to be fluorescent, and incandescent bulbs are being phased out annually by wattage. You can use either cfl or led bulbs in the top lamp, and the reading lamp below is still within the law because the wattage is low. Eventually you will have to replace the bulbs with either cfl or led, and candelabra base leds are available now, up to 60 watt equiv. but pricy. Amortize initial cost over life of bulb against electricity bill savings, I think it is worth the cost. Besides, cfls have mercury and require recycling,

Both. I am running CFLs. This fixture is a pain to assemble though. The top rectangular plate that butts the ceiling wasn't wide enough to cover my existing fixture hole.

It takes a regular cfb or curly bulb as you call it. It will also take a incandescent

The light will take up to a 13W CFL bulb. The product details are incorrect. In our basement the 13W bulb works nicely.

Yes, but the bulbs must be dimmable. Most CFL bulbs are not dimmable; most other bulbs are. With 100 watt bulbs it is very bright - it makes a huge improvement to my bathroom.

No! It will not work with CFL bulbs.It only works with incandescent light bulbs.

It takes up to a 100w incandescent or 23w cfl bulb. It's a chain pull so it will NOT accept a 3 way bulb.

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 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.

Well CFL would be if you're using compact fluorescent bulbs, and INC would be if you're using normal incandescent light bulbs. So switch it on whatever type of light bulbs you're using.

Yes. I have used both the 60 and 100 watt version of a CFL since I first bought this product.

I don't know what you mean by an cfl. But I will tell you it works only on regular light bulbs. Round ones.

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.
