Because CFL's are longer than incandescents, what is the maximum length light bulb that could be put in this fixture?

I installed two candelabra base torpedo shaped cfl's and they barely fit. The spiral shape would not.

just measured the one inside ours. it's 3in from the bottom of the bulb glass to the tip. there may be about 1/4 or so extra space you can use, but stick to 3in and you should be good.

It is about the same length as a "normal" incandescent bulb, so could be too long. You might check other bulbs with the GU24 base or attach a bulb adapter (search GU24 bulb adapter on Amazon) and then screw in an LED Ceiling Fan Bulb.

I believe they are a bit smaller than the plain CFL, but I never bothered to measure them. Once they warm up they put out a ton of light, quite a bit more than a regular 100 watt incandescent.

Unfortunately, I haven't got a bulb within reach to measure, I can tell you, with reasonable certainty, that it's about 6" long. It most certainly can be installed either way (horizontally or vertically). It's just a regular incandescent bulb except for the color (which is really beautiful, by the way). I use these bulbs frequently (I am an interior designer) as well as the "radio tube" shape in the same color.

Yes, but CFL worked better for me on this fixture. I'd really recommend using a 100W equivalent CFL bulb. It worked best for me in terms of lighting (that is, if you want your light to be bright but also very relaxing for the eyes) and this bulb, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient.

That's right in the description: 150 watts LED / CFL, 600 watts incandescent. Just add the power requirements of all the bulbs controlled by the dimmer. For example, I'm using it to control 4 60 watt incandescent bulbs, total 240 watts. For LEDs / CFLs, use the actual power required, not the "equivalency". So a 23-watt CFL that says it's as bright as a 100 watt incandescent still only counts as 23 watts.

It should work fine. We use this bulb in all of our table lamps. The bulb is a little bit longer, but that has not been a problem. Also we could remove all the harp spreaders we had installed to allow cfl's to be used.

No idea what the requirements are but I can tell you these fluorescent lights will fit into a normal size incandescent socket. However, the fluorescent tubes are bigger than a normal sized incandescent light. If your application doesn't have much room beyond what an incandescent light occupies then you'll probably run into an issue.

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!

You should be able to use up to a 60 W incandescent bulb. The limit is imposed by a thermal overload built into the fixture housing. If you need more light, I suggest you use a compact fluorescent or LED.

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

As an LED uses alot less energy you can put a much much bigger led light in it without exceeding the 60W rating. If you could find one a true 60W led would probably be something like a 500W equivalent. So feel free to find the largest CFL or LED light you can find just make sure that it's actual energy usage is less than 60W. Also it will need to be "dimmable" which alot of the cheaper led and CFL are not.

Yes this fixture will accept CFL bulbs with a medium base, but you may not like how it looks since the glass is clear. I would suggest using a clear incandescent bulb and put a dimmer on the switch to saving electricity.

Yes, BUT... This type of LED bulbs, just like with cousin CFL have fat necks, some fixtures have a thicker collar and deeper seating socket which regular incandescent don't have problem with but may prevent "fat neck" bulbs from screwing in all the way and make electrical contact.

I would assume so. It just provides power to your fixture, so if your fixture can do CFL, then you should be fine.

There is an infinite light dimming/brightness choice. However, CFL's (non dimming) will not dim.

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.
