Is the fan compatible with CFL bulbs?

I don't believe so unless its a small base CFL and not on a dimmer light switch. It takes a small base bulb 60 watt same as and is a candle bulb. It does an ok job of lighting the room, I probably could change it up with a higher watt bulb. It may not light a large room as the only light. My boys and I love fan and light. It really looks awesome and works great. It is easy to install. I would recommend it.

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?

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.

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.

I don't think so. I have two of these fans and I dimmed one of them with lower watt bulbs.

I didn't know before I read the previous answers which I found very helpful; also, I am assuming that I can switch this cfl bulb with a 60 watt incandescent bulb. I found this very helpful.

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

Don't know. I used the bulb that came with it and not enough light. Very dark in the room with only the fan light on. However I love the fan and use lamps for addl light. Hate the incandescent bulbs.

It should have no problems with CFL or LED bulbs, it does not alter the electrical current going through it. I use it for my home theater projector (connected as if it was the fan).

No these and most cfl bulbs are not dimmable. You want to look for 3-way cfl bulbs

Yes, as I said in my review, I have both the fan and the light wired to separate wall switches. Actually the fan is wired to a 3-speed selector knob, but you could use a slider switch as well.The light fixture says 40 watt max, so 60 watt bulbs probably wouldn't be a good idea. However, you can purchase CFL bulbs which are 60 watt equivalent but only use <20 watts.

I only used them on led and cfl bulbs. I don't know! Don't use them on ceiling fans!

Yes.. this is a standard CFL (Compact Fluorescent Light) but way over priced. Try Home Depot or Loews!

yeah, I have a 60w incandescent in mine, so I wouldn't see why a CFL wouldn't work.

I'm going to say I don't know because I couldn't find CFL bulbs to fit. This uses a short bulb which are provided with the lamp. I wanted something frosted, so I purchased regular bulbs.

This fan will accept a maximum 60W a15 incandescent bulb, also will accept LED bulbs (you should be able to get higher lumens at safe wattages compared to an incandescent) with standard bases.

No. There is a metal guard in the way. This guard separates the night light from the light bulb. There is little clearance beyond what is needed to install the CFL that comes with the fan. Max Clearance is 3.75"

Yes. This fan is rated for direct contact with insulation. Being a fluorescent bulb, it does not generate very much heat...
