Just pulled the trigger on this & realized I purchased it without the bulbs. Problem is I have test shoot coming up on Tuesday I'm wanting to use these with.

This may be a stupid question but does anyone know if regular fluorescent bulbs can be used with this? Or only the westcott bulbs? I'm sure regular bulbs may have differences in WB but I can always fix that with my expodisc.

Just more curious about lighting intensity & if they are actually compatible. Thanks!

As stated in B&H description of the light it uses a standard E26 socket which should fit a screw in bulb.
The only issue with the fluorescent bulb is who the manufacturer is and how wide the base is.
The unit looks to adjust the light levels by turning bulbs off and not dimming them which helps in using standard bulbs.
Test it out buy using standard light bulb you have and this should work fine.
As to the intensity buy only up the the wattage that is specified for the unit and using the Expodisc you will be setting the white balance to what ever level you need.
When using fluorescent lighting they use a term called CRI which states that at 100% it would render the proper color and using something like OTT light bulbs they give very high levels of CRI which give a proper color and this could help reduce post processing.
Good luck with your shoot.
