Can this fan use standard CFL light bulbs? Such as SYLVANIA 23-Watt (equivalent to 100W) Spiral Medium Base?

This is naive fan but the lighting is a problem. It handles only the candle bulbs. However I would never use cfl bulbs for anything they are toxic in landfills

It has worked fine with our LED bulbs. I can't speak to how it would work with CFL bulbs.

Can use up to 100 watt 3way. I use a CFL equal to 100 watt bright white. The shades make it a little dark.

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

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.

We are currently using 60 Watt bulbs. Helps with light in our kitchen. The fan is really small though

Sorry I returned this lamp due to shipping damage, but if memory serves me yes you can use a smaller CFL bulb in this fixture equivalent to a 100 watt incandescent. Hope this helps out!

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 see no reason why you cannot use a cfl bulb. Just make sure the wattage is no more than 40.

I currently use a CFL bulb in mine. Only limit would be the size of the bulb (higher wattage = bigger bulb)

yes. you could use standard base incandescent or cfl bulbs, but it looks best with 3" globe bulbs.

I dont know. I used the bulbs that came with this fan. it gives a good amount of light for me.

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.

No, you cannot use a regular or CFL bulb in these units. The light assembly has a transformer that will fry them, quickly. Must be high pressure sodium bulbs, only, and can't use a different watt sodium bulb, either. Great light assemblies, but very bright.

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.

Either. It will work with any bulb that has an E26 base. I use a 23-Watt (100W) Spiral CFL and the light is just outstanding and bright, It doesn't heat up and it perfectly fits. This bulb is really a good find for this lamp, I highly recommend it Triangle Bulbs T90020 (Pack of 2) G16 Decorative Globe Light Bulbs 300 Lumen 5-watt LED Light Bulb with E26 Base, Color 3000K, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,
