Has anyone used this on 26 watt CFL bulbs? I have one that is 12' up.

I haven't tried it on a CFL bulb but you should be able to use the fitting for floodlights to change out a CFL bulb. Be sure to wear eye protection in case the bulb fractures. You don't want the powder inside the tube to get in them.

Looks like about a 4-inch depth - I'm using a 57W regular bulb and there's just about an inch from the end of the bulb to the edge of the shade. Should work for your CFL.

This switch works with a fluorescent overhead light fixture that uses a balast (i.e. four ft fluorescent ceiling fixture in a garage or laundry room)I expect it will not work for CFL bulb that is not designed for use with dimmers.

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 have this working with CFLs in multiple locations. They work great. Also works flawlessly with LEDs.

Yes, works perfectly. Go with the 15 Watt and use a cover to mellow out the individual "hot spots" of light. This is far and away better than a 12V CFL.

I have CFL bulbs in this light and have had no problems at all. Equivalent to 40 watts in each light.

Depends on the physical; size of the bulbs. I use 4 45W CFLs just fine, BUT my 85W CFLs will NOT fit - the bulbs themselves are too wide. Even the 45W bulbs are pushing it. This is a nice solution for when you're in a pinch, but the overall quality is quite low. I've had the plastic around the mounts crack, the screw mount that plugs into your socket is not the best either - if you can't afford anything better, this is fine, but move to better quality one sooner than later. Careful of the occasional zap, too (dunno if it's an ungrounded circuit or another issue with my setup, but I've been zapped a few times). Depends on the physical; size of the bulbs.

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.

It also didn't work with an LED bulb I tried. All it did was Dim the bulb. The bulb I tried was not dimmable. Wondering if a Dimmable LED bulb would work. I tried 3 different brands of CFLs and one of them did work without flickering. The CFL bulb that worked was a 7 watt Greenlite which I received from my electric company.

I'm not sure if you can use a 23W CFL with that lamp. We are currently using a 14W CFL bulb in ours, and we've had no issues with it to this point. I hope that helps!

I used these for 13 watt CFLs. They should handle 60 or 100 watt incandescents OK.Thanks....

I have this set up in my basement. I use a 13 watt florescent bulb above it and get great results.

Yes. I have been running CFLs off three of these timers for more than a year. Works fine.

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

Yes, the CFL bulbs won't make any difference however mine didn't work at all so I'd be a bit hesitant to make the purchase if I were you. Had nothing to do with the type of bulbs it just wouldn't work.

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