I noted in one of the answers that the lamp has a power cord transformer. I just want to confirm that the lamp will take a CFL bulb. Will it?

As far as I know, the answer is yes, if the lumen power is the same as the incandescent you are replacing.

Yes, I've been using a 3-way CFL bulb without any problems for almost a year now

Greetings, you would have to change the lamp out, and have a plug adapter. It is initially, for 110 volts. hope that helps.

Hi Jackie G.,The lamp came with the necessary bulb. I have a 20W 120V/60Hz 300mA 1170 Lumens 6500K mercury disposal: epa-gov/cfl All of that is what's written on the base of the bulb. There is a replacement code = U15200 It's coiled and short. Hope that helps.

The lamp requires an incandescent bulb of any wattage as long as the base size, part that screws in, fits. If you have the right bulb and it doesn't operate by touch, the lamp itself is malfunctioning and needs to be returned.

No. I has a normal electrical lamp cord and plug, not shown in the photo. The cord comes out of the rear of the base. I really love this space-saving high efficiency lamp!

Mine only has one cord. I guess with the cfl's not pulling much power, they can run two circuits in one cord.

The lamp does not come with the light bulb. You can use the regular light bulb. Due to it is a touch lamp, do not use the energy saving light bulb unless you use the 3 way energy saving light bulb.

It depends on the bulb you choose to use. The lamp does not come with a bulb. It's a great lamp but choose the light you want from the bulb.

Yes, it comes with a power cord that plugs into the base of the lamp and then an outlet.

Thank you for your responses. Does CFL have to do with the size of the base? Is that why it wouldn't be compatible Raymond?

Yes, Just plug it into an outlet, and then your lamp etc into it. very Easy!

No, you cannot use CFL bulbs. However, it works very well with regular light bulbs.

The lamp will only accommodate a low wattage night light bulb. It's really not designed for lighting a room. It goes have a switch on the cord. Hope this helps.

NO.... uses 2 wire cord that comes on all lamps...there is only 2 connections on it..

No, this has a cord. This lamp can not take a 60 or 40 watt bulb as they state. The shade gets too hot. A 25 watt is cool enough.

Hi Joanne, I too ended up at Home Depot to try to get the right bulb & they no longer offered a replacement bulb for the lamp I bought there, so I rewired the fixture to accept a CFL. I have two of these bulbs & would be happy to ship them to you so you can try them. If they fit your application, send me something neat for Christmas & we're square. If they don't fit, you can donate them to the Goodwill, or ??? Thanks & Best Wishes, John
