Do clip-on chandelier shades work with CFL bulbs?

I can't imagine the shades working on the the curly cue light bulbs if that is whatyou had in mind. If the low wattage CFL's are encased, yes, the shades I have and that you mention would work.

I only use chandelier bulbs, the old kind. Besides we have that light on a dimmer switch and CFL bulbs don't work on dimmers. The shades have two wire loops inside that slide onto the bulbs. I doubt they would fit CFLs.

It doesn't work on my CFL. I either need to find a CFl that fits these or return them.

No, the clip is fairly narrow and only fits the tapered "tear-drop" shape. If you can get a type of CFL that was as slender, then probably...I just haven't seen any. But I haven't looked, either. The sconces I have the shades on are 1930's era and close to the wall. The shades themselves are a tight fit but they work. Hope this helps! :)

I don't know what you mean by an cfl. But I will tell you it works only on regular light bulbs. Round ones.

Well that is confusing! I have five of them and they all take the plain "old screw in" size bulb. Because they have a dimmer they will not work with the CFL. They would work with LED.

This latern supports CFL bulbs. I use a very bright one to light up the night and it has been working great.

Yes, and I use it with these CFLs and it works great. Loving the beautiful light output and the better quality Triangle Bulbs T40144-4 (4 Pack) - 23-Watt (100W) Spiral Medium Base Natural Daylight (5000K) CFL Light Bulbs, 4 PACK

Yes it will work on CFL and I use two 7 watts candelabra lightbulbs. The 40 watt load doesn't seem to come in play. The great part about the switch, it keeps the time and does not need to be reset if the electricity goes out.

Yes it does clip to a chandelier type bulb and the product is perfect adding beer labels.

Yes, you can use CFLs. I put small flood bulb in mine to use as a task light. Works and looks great.

This type of shade needs to be secured to the socket by a plastic or twist on attachment that screws onto the light socket. I doubt if your chandelier has the necessary fitting.

The short answer is yes, they will accept CFL bulbs, although my experience with them was not good. I initially used some GE CFL's (I don't know the model, but they were flood-type bulbs). The first few nights when the motion lights were activated they CFL's would come on, but on the 3rd or 4th night when they were activated they would turn on, but the CFL's were giving off a weird color and were only about half as bright as they were the first two nights. If I turned the motion lights to a constant "on" state, the CFL's would then eventually brighten and the color would return, but never 100% as on the first few nights. This happened with all 4 bulbs I was using. I returned them and replaced them with incandescent 100w floodlights after that, so I don't have any long term experience with them.

I haven't tried to use it on a CFL bulb; the clips are designed to be used on a round shaped bulb

I should think so, if you are using candelabra bulbs that is what these are designed to clip on to

No clip. will only fit a lamp with a "harp" around the bulb and a screw in the center. The shade has a 3-legged top support with a hole to accept the screw.. Kinda standard, you will need a finial to go on the screw to hold the shade down. I never knew about the clip adaptor that the other person mentioned. I guess that would work. I think the shade is maybe too big for a clip-on .

Yes just don't get the long cfl bulbs, unless you are hanging the fixture. Stick to the short spiral style

No... I don't know how hard they are to find, but these are NOT normal CFL bulbs; instead of screwing in they have two "pins" (from the installation instructions, page 14, "This is a pin type lamp base...."), part number FFV3420067S (google it to see).

These function just like any other light bulb (most CFL bulbs do not work with dimmer-switches, these do), however they are slightly larger than a standard bulb. They work great in my kitchen, but my light has globes that cover the bulbs and the globes don't fit over these bulbs.

Attached to bulb by spring clip, would depend in the shape of cfl, one that's shaped like a candle would still work
