Probably not. Your table lamp likely uses a standard base bulb, while these bulbs use a very small "E11" base, which is 11mm and has about the same cross-section as a pencil. You might want to try searching for something like the "Philips 426049" 72-watt halogen (equivalent to 100 watt incandescent). It's less than $6 for a 4 pack from Amazon.

These have a base smaller around than my pinky is your lamp a standard size bulb?

That is really a question for the bulb manufacturer - the lamp has nothing to do with it. This is not a very definitive answer, but the 3W bulbs I am using are really bright - actually a bit too bright for bedside use. I am considering adding a dimmer.

60 watts is fine for reading with an e-reader, but this wouldn't be my first choice since the light direction is towards the ceiling. I'd probably choose a table lamp that can be positioned closer to the reading source.

With an adapter you could put it in a standard lamp, but the I believe the wattage is only effective for a short distance. So, it wouldnt do much for your desk...It would only help for anything that floats nearby.

I use a 25 watt bulb and the fan is 5 feet above the table. The light is barely enough to read by.

A 40 watt worked for me -- and I like dim lights to preserve the rods in my eyes. So, you must have a dud if the bulb is tightly screwed and there isn't any packaging blocking the electrical connection. My lamp was packed in a messy kind of paper and I used compressed air to blow all the gunk out of the socket.

This is more than adequate light but pay attention to the height....I presume you want overhead light and this IS a wonderful lamp but not tall--more for reading in a chair!!!

I would strongly suggest the bulb strength advised. The notice is there for a reason. Unfortunately, I find that most lamps, pendants etc. have insufficient lighting for my 40+ old eyes!

i'm sure you could if you find one small enough. i just used a clear christmas light bulb. you can only use up to 6 watts and the screw in part is really small.hope this helps..

Not sure on the max, but I have had a 120 watt incandescent in there with no problem. Currently, I have an LED bulb that puts out equivalent light at a much, much lower wattage.

Not sure about that, I use a 60 watt bulb with a wall dimmer for a very nice warm effect. I have the fixture above my dining table.

the lamp only allows a max of 15watt bulb. i'm using a 5watt.its more like a dimmed night light; however, if you used a 15watt bulb, i'm sure it'd be bright enough to read under.

It would depend on the type of bulb you choose. I have the soft silicon bulb in mine, and it would not be suitable for reading.

Definitely. Using 3 60W equivalent LED bulbs is really bright. This lamp is really pretty, and I highly recommend that you use these bulbs, it worked best for me in terms of lighting and the product quality. It really lasts longer compared to the previous bulbs I've used. I hope it helps! Triangle Bulbs T95123-6 (6pack) - LED Dimmable 60 Watt Equivalent Daylight A19 Light Bulbs, 6 pack

Yes you can. It has a standard incandescent light bulb socket which will accept incandescent bulbs, or compact fluorescent bulbs of any wattage. A great thing about these lights is that the shades are translucent off-white, so if you use fluorescent bulbs, the shade makes them less harsh in color and they give off a light similar to soft white incandescent.

You're putting a 40 watt bulb into a 60 watt outlet. You should be fine. With that bulb you will be pulling less watts than what the lamp can output.

It takes a standard light bulb. So you can use any ordinary bulb you would use in a lamp. I believe up to 60 watts.
