can 55watt cfl be fitted in place of a 38 watt cfl bulb

If you are referring to the 55 watt T5 4-pin cfl you should be able to replace it as long as it has the same 4-pin connection and your lamp is rated to take at least 60 watt bulb. Just letting you know this is a 4-pin connection not screw type.

In my experience, yes...as long as the bulb plug matches the lamp receiving plug.

maybe, if it has the same plug, but I don't know if there is a problem with size, or if they are the same size.

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!

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.

You can use this CFL that is 100W equivalent but only consumes 23W. It works great for me and the item is really durable. Hope it helps Triangle Bulbs 23 Watt - 100 W Equal - Full Spectrum 5000K - CFL Light Bulb - E26 Base - Standard Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb

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

100 watts is 100 watts. It's the amount of power the lamp is rated to sustain safely. The type of bulb doesn't matter at all. This bulb can be used, assuming that it physically fits. Many larger CFL bulbs are bigger than standard incandescents and will not fit in all lamps.They say "300 watt equivalent" to let you know much LIGHT it produces in terms of the incandescent bulbs you are used to, but it has nothing to do with the power rating of the lamp.

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

use CFL up to 30 watts and all lamps must match in color temprature I use 5000 degree to match daylight color

Yes, you may not need 55w ballasts if the bulbs are 35w, it can affect the color

i can not recommend going higher then advertised wattage...however you can put a cfl bulb and get more output

Additional answer: When it is noted that a bulb larger than 60 or 75 watts should not be used, it is because of the heat generated by an enclosed bulb, which can damage the fixture. It is not because of the wiring capacity of the fixture.

I don't think you would have any problem using CFL especially with the low watt like that.

I don't believe they make cfl in the size u need. It takes a size Ca bulb which is a smaller size base made for some fans and lights.

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

Yes you can, I use 85 watt CFL which is the same as a 450 watt standard, you must take in consideration of the extra heat, and adjust distance for umbrella use so as not to create a fire hazard. Cowboy studio has a standard medium based socket, so as long as your bulb has a medium base it will work.

The answer is simple...current LED "bulbs" are not available higher than 75 or 100 incandescent watts (9 to 17 LED watts). The CFLs that come with the kit (45 CFL Watts) are equivalent to roughly 250 incandescent watts (though some sites claim 170). So physically...yes...realistically no due to lack of brightness. As a side note...I'm never sure why people answer these questions with "I don't know" or "Not sure...I don't own this"

I would say no. I have a 3 way CFL bulb in it now and it works on the second click and at about the low light - 50 watt setting only. I will likely return unless I have to pay shipping and it's expensive. regular Incandescent bulbs give off a lot of heat at 150 watt setting.
