Yes i been useing cfls in one of mine for about a year, but in cold weather it takes a few minutes to warm up to full brightness, i could not stand using cfls in the house so i am using them in my heath/zenith.

I'm no electrician but I would presume so if they are specifically noted as "dimmable." I finally installed the fixture and I like it very much. Though it is only about a week or so up and running, so who really knows.

Is it really? "Compatible" not just that it will light up but it will light up and not burn out in days or weeks. In my experience, motion sensors don't play nice with CFLs. I've tried several brands in a protected outdoor floodlight fixture and all have died an early death ranging from days to maybe 6-18 months at best. It gets tripped by our dog for maybe an hour or less total on-time every night.Maybe it's time to invest in some LED PAR38s or BR40s.

I have not had any success with CFLs. Originally, I purchased some CFLs from Home Depot, and ended up returning them, since the motion detection lighting did not work with CFLs.

Yes it will work very well with both LED and CFL lights.......I've had both but currently using LEDs.

Use with LED floods is the reason I purchased this item, but have not yet installed or personally verified. However, according to an engineer who works directly with Cooper Industries on lighting projects, he claims that it will work with LED bulbs.

Yes, it works with CFL, LEDs, fluorescent, etc. I have 2 of these, one hooked to CFLs and the other hooked to LEDs, and it works perfectly fine.

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.

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

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

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

I don't think so. I believe that the remotes are IR and are not set for each particular light since I use the same remote for a bulb as well as the flood. Hope this helps and answers your question.

yeah, I have a 60w incandescent in mine, so I wouldn't see why a CFL wouldn't work.

yes works great with cfl, i have had a couple connected now for almost 2 years and havent lost the first bulb or eye,, i get the 42 watt cfl equal to a 200watt regular bulb,, gives off great light

Yes you should be able to use those flood light bulbs , mine is outside, so I use outdoor bulbs only, but whether it is in or out you should be fine.

Yes.. this is a standard CFL (Compact Fluorescent Light) but way over priced. Try Home Depot or Loews!

Namely's comments made me reply that this switch is NOT being used with a CFL! It is a ceiling mount light fixturewith regular 40 watt bulbs.

It has worked fine with our LED bulbs. I can't speak to how it would work with CFL bulbs.
