Can I use an incandescent 60-watt bulb?

I haven't tried it and I won't until I know for sure it is okay. I would think that it would get hot.

Yes, regular incandescent light bulbs will fit, but anything over 40 watts will be very hot. The recommended fluorescent bulb will run much cooler and last way longer.

Yes. I only have a 60 watt bulb in there and the amount of light is considerable. It takes up to a100 or 120 so it will definitely put out alot of light at that wattage.

Our unit is meant for 40w bulb. You can use CFL equivalent to a 40w reg. bulb.

If you mean normal incandescent 100 watt bulbs, of course not. I would assume you could use the same type fluorescent bulbs that come with the unit as they do not produce much heat. The key would be in the heat output of the bulbs. Normal bulbs would melt the covers, the fluorescent bulbs should not have any wattage limit as they should remain cool.

Yes. I have used both the 60 and 100 watt version of a CFL since I first bought this product.

As your lamp is for 60W, that means the maximum wattage...this bulb is only 12 watts. This bulb should not be used with a 'Three way switch'. I have switched out most 60W incandescent bulbs to 10.5W LEDs or 14W fluorescent's...

It uses regular 60-watt incandescent light bulbs, though you could probably use florescent bulbs if you wanted to.

Yes. The bulb consumes 40 Watt and the lamp is rated for 60 Watts. Type A-19 is the old incandescent bulb type.

yes i would use the recommended incandescent.. however you can use a halogen or led bulb which are more energy efficient .

we use a 60 watt bulb. I started out using a 45 but just tried 60 because the 45 wasn't light enough. No trouble using a 60 watt.

No. The 150W is the maximum. It is a safety issue as a 150W bulb gets very hot. A 40W bulb should be fine. I put a 9W LED bulb in mine and it works great.

Yes,it can accept a 60w or 75w incandescent bulb. It also can use fluorescent bulbs. Just remember that all these bulbs sit higher up in the sleeves than the spot lights and remember the lights shine down and not across the area. This is a spot light fixture!!!!!

I have a three lamp fixture that looks like a 75-100 watt incandescent. So to be honest, your 60 watt example would need two of these bulbs. They are also candelabra based (minny) designed for a chandelier or a similar styled lamp.

A regular 40-60 watt bulb will work in this lamp. It might require clicking the on knob more than once for the light to come on but that does not bother me. I love the lamps. Bought them for a bedroom and they look very nice and are a very sturdy well made lamp:)

As i recall, cfls at 24w generate 1500 lumens. So 60watts should be around 3500-4000@1ft.

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