Can you use LED bulbs? They are cooler and I'm wondering about using a larger bulb for reading?

It's a standard light socket, you should be able to find basically anything you want for it.

I would assume that the issue is total load on the device (the internal wires are very small) and perhaps a heat concentration issue for incandescent bulbs. I would also think that LEDs would be OK.

You can use a regular bulb whatever wattage you choose. I'm using the curly shaped energy-efficient bulbs.

I am useing the flat lightbulb shaped LED bulbs in mine and have had no issues. They are cooler and brighter and it is noticable. The other bulbs were very hot, expensive and delicate.

Hi there! we used regular 60 watt bulbs -- you can also begin to use the new LED bulbs if you take out a loan! But we just used regular bulbs in this fixture thus far. It was hung in a home I renovated for sale, which is under contract to close now. Good luck and it is a great looking fixture!

We just used a CFL bulb. Not sure about LED. Our experience with LED has been mixed. No savings if it poops out a little after purchase.

There isn't a lot of room for standard bulbs. If you don't want to bend the metal brackets holding the bulbs, you can use LED corn bulbs like these: http://smile.amazon.com/Generic-27x5050-300LM-2800-3200K-White/dp/B00ANI1Q9S/ref=sr_1_37?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1405191333&sr=1-37&keywords=led+bulb. They are highly energy efficient, long lasting, don't produce a lot of heat, and most importantly, they fit.

I do not own any LED bulbs yet so I am unable to answer this question. I do use an have put in a spiral CFL bulb with no problems. Thanks.

Ca has laws in place that require fixtures to be fluorescent, and incandescent bulbs are being phased out annually by wattage. You can use either cfl or led bulbs in the top lamp, and the reading lamp below is still within the law because the wattage is low. Eventually you will have to replace the bulbs with either cfl or led, and candelabra base leds are available now, up to 60 watt equiv. but pricy. Amortize initial cost over life of bulb against electricity bill savings, I think it is worth the cost. Besides, cfls have mercury and require recycling,

You can use LED BULBS however I'm not sure that there are 75w or 100w LED's on the market. You can definitely use the 60w LED's that are readily available but they might not provide enough light.

I have 2 LED bulbs connected. You are only limited by the rated wattage - just be sure to not exceed it and you'll be fine.

You can use a larger LED or CFL bulb. You just can not exceed the total lamp wattage of 150 watts. So if you added 2 Philips 100 watt EQUIVALENT LED bulbs it would be fine because the bulbs do not actually use 150 watts of power. Your only limitation is the size of the bulb.

yes you can use LED bulbs, just make sure they are G9 socket and capable of dimming... some LED bulbs have thicker bases than regular halogens so make sure you choose a style that has a slim base design...

I am using CFL bulbs inside the opener. I don't see why LED bulbs wouldn't work as long as they fit inside physically.

I can't imagine why not, but I'm not sure. I've read some of the other answers and most say, yes, you can use them, but personally, I like the LED bulb. Hope this helps.

you can replace the bulbs with LEDs that have a higher lumen value (brighter)

LED would work fine too because they don't give out as much heat. check out this link and they are LED A19 light bulb / standard size light bulb so it will last longer and save you money Triangle Bulbs (Pack Of 10) 12 Watt A19 LED Bulb, 75 Watt Incandescent Bulbs Replacement, 1055lm, Soft White, Dimmable,
