What is the lamp (bulb) type? Lumens? 35W is rather low. I'm wondering if the lamp can be replaced with a low watt/hi lumen LED?

35w is low. I would go with our Led kit either http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00EF3WFEM/ref=mp_s_a_1_14?qid=1420040992&sr;=8-14π=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70Orhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00H6QB5VY/ref=mp_s_a_1_12?qid=1420040992&sr;=8-12π=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70The single is twice as bright as the 35w kit and uses less than half the power.

You really don't need too. What I did was I spliced both together and have them both on when the light turns on. Very bright and can see rather well. Hope this helps

I haven't looked into that yet, but intend to, as I was unable to find an LED bulb for the light, other than 25w. It is very cumbersome to change bulbs on the light!

I just checked the actual bulb and it says 60w. Although it seems like its 40w because it's not as bright as a "regular" bulb. So if you want one that looks 40w then it's the right one.

Thanks. I have a power max 17w bulb I bought last week, and although it shows great blues and reds, it's not very bright.

I replaced the low wattage bulb with a much brighter but even lower wattage LED, and it is very bright now. You need to get a very small LED bulb tho, so it will fit, I got the equivalent of a 60w bulb in a 15w LED candle light shaped bulb.

Yes, you can use an LED bulb as long as it fits within the parameters. The info lists: E26; Watt - 25W (60W Max). That means the LED must use less than 60W (which is very easy, the are almost always very low wattage), and it must have a standard base. It won't look at pretty, but will still be functional.

the bulb replacement shown with the ottlite 848 MG2 is not correct (13W). The lamp takes a 9W linear bulb Ott 10838 type "Y". Please correct me if i am wrong. It appears to be a error.

I just copied down the instructions inside the lamp and took the information to Home Depot with me. They gave me the right bulb. It's worked ever since. It says "E17 MAX 25W Type R Lamp." It's a very small bulb in the shape of a flood light bulb. The low wattage works out ok if you are focusing the light on a small workspace.

The lamp is halogen (lamp type determines the conversion ratio) . So, the conversion is approximately 20 lumens per watt. I don't remember the exact wattage of the lamp it came with. It is probably 190 watts (you may check it in the instructions it came with). It is, therefore, about 3800 lumens.

I am using a 40W equivalent LED bulb and it's actually good. I highly recommend it, too, because it doesn't heat up (which makes it safer to use), and it's really energy efficient. The lighting is brighter and pleasing too, compared to the others I've tried. Hope it helps!

The bulb is LED hence should be low wattage, but what is more important is the measure of the total "amount" of visible light emitted by a source in unit called 'lumen'and its 6.0-8.5 lumen of bright light.

I have no idea how to replace the bulbs. Perhaps you should ask the manufacturer. The longevity of LED's are so long that by the time they burn out, I imagine I will worry about them then and either throw out the lamp if it is unusable or just keep it. The cost is relatively low, so I would certainly consider buying another one of these great lamps. I just LOVE the lamp. Arnie

Hello, I just bought a standard 40 watt bulb. It says you can use 40 watts or less on the inside of the lamp. Hope this helps :).

The box it came in does not say. I have a 40W high intensity lamp. Itis 280 lumens. I turned it on and the 30 LED lamp beside it. The LEDlamp was little brighter, but, it is like a flashlight. It has about a spotabout five inches in diameter. It does have some peripheral light, butmainly it's a spot.

60W is the maximum. However, I use an LED globe bulb for this fixture with 350 lumens and the light is just outstanding and bright, but only consumes 5W. It doesn't heat up also.
