Con it be used with fluorescent bulbs

Yep. Unless you mean can you put a flourescent bulb in the little button switch on the cord. If that is what you are asking, no.

I don't remember what the packaging said, but I use mine with lamps holding CFL bulbs. This essentially becomes the on/off switch for the item plugged into the cord.

I am sure it can. I don't see why not. It's simply lamp cord with an on/off switch attached to it. Its only purpose is to convey the standard U.S. electric current to a device--which, I'm assuming, is the same current you'd be using to power fluorescent bulbs.

It works with incandescents and LEDs. It will also work perfectly with fluorescent bulbs if they are "dimable" bulbs. If you try to dim any non-dimable fluorescent, they tend to flicker a lot. (Please note that some LED bulbs will flicker a tiny amount at very dimmed settings.) Overall I am very happy with this dimmer. It installed very easily and functions perfectly.

yes....I use florescent but any light bulb that will screw into a regular light will work.

I did not try with Fluorescent tubes ! but I thing won't work because the gas on the tube are very sensible and any spark of the swith will be keeping going on and off!

As an alternative to fluorescent lighting you might want to check out LED lighting also.

Yes you can. It has a standard incandescent light bulb socket which will accept incandescent bulbs, or compact fluorescent bulbs of any wattage. A great thing about these lights is that the shades are translucent off-white, so if you use fluorescent bulbs, the shade makes them less harsh in color and they give off a light similar to soft white incandescent.

Not per code. This has a plug and should be plugged into an outlet. You could install a shallow surface mounted outlet under your cabinet where your fluorescent light is now and feed the outlet from the wires that fed the fluorescent.

There is room for a standard 100 W bulb. So, if the fluorescent is no larger than a regular bulb, it will fit. I don't see where there would be any issues with the starting power draw characteristics of a fluorescent lamp.

Yes! The manufacturer says it will work for led bulbs. It will NOT work with fluorescent bulbs(will burn out the sensor).

I don't think this is currently possible. I suspect it may be part of the fan controls if it is a problem even with non cfl bulbs

No, all compact fluorescents use mercury vapor to generate light. If a bulb breaks, make sure to open your windows and air out the room.

We do not and most compact fluorescent do not work well with dimmers and it is not recommended

It has to be an incandescent bulb cannot be fluorescent. Otherwise it is defective.

Yes, you can use this bulb in place of a 'regular' screw-in incandescent or fluorescent bulb. It is a little larger than a regular bulb so may not fit in small fixtures. I put this bulb on my front porch, it's great - lights up at night when anyone approaches. No more fumbling for keys in the dark or wasting energy leaving lights on all night. I'm buying more.

If the new type of lightbulb (coil type) is considered fluorescent, then the answer is yes. I use 8 of those types of bulbs that are controlled by this unit.

You could use a fluorescent bulb that works in a standard lamp. I use a LED bulb in mine.

Yes, it can. I use a regular light bulb and one side and a CFL in the other.... I would just be careful about the size of the CFL.
