Can compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) be used in touch lamps?
Currently, some compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) will not work in existing touch lamps. It is recommended that you refer to product packaging at the time of purchase, or alternatively contact the manufacturer for product specific information. Mains voltage halogen bulbs provide a more efficient alternative to common incandescent light bulbs. However, more CFL products suitable for use in touch lamps will continue to become available as the phase-out progresses.
