Bulb Bases

The Casablanca Four Seasons III fan I am now intending to buy has a companion light fitter in the shaker style (it is very nice looking and very practical IMO). It comes with CFL's.  I intend to replace with LED's.  Would that be possible?

Casablaca says that the Shaker light fitter can also be used with incandescent 40W G16 bulbs with medium base.  What is medium base?

Medium base, it turns out, is what most people consider the standard base that standard light bulbs fit in.  The Mogul base is a larger base used for for high power lighting, such as HID.  The most common smaller base is the Candelabra.  An uncommon base slightly larger than candelabra is called Intermediate.

Well OK then.  But what about the bulb profile.  The G16 profile is short and compact.  The Standard bulb, say 60W, has an A19 profile.

I don't know but I've tried to ask the question in the question box at Lightingdirect.
