These are a very tight fit. I do mean tight. I had to shorten my wiring and then put the wires in ahead of the dimmer, then justwork it in very slowly with a lot of force. Like I said very very tight, but it will go.

The fit was tight in my lamp and I had to shorten the cord, but with persistence I was able to work the dimmer control into place. My lamp is a standing floor lamp. The dimmer that I replaced had a cardboard cover and was more flexible than the new plastic cover.

I think it's the total size. Mine only lasted a week or two before the glass cracked, from nothing more than turning on the lamp. Save your money.

Product sold in December 2014 is 13.5 cm long and will only fit inside 22 watt bulb if the bulb sits on the wires and in my case drilling new mounting holes and a hole for the primary leads. I returned it to Amazon and bought a new lamp from Amazon.

The lights are tapered, meaning the base of each light is smaller than the top. I measured mine, and here are the results: The top of each light's circumference is 11 inches. The base's circumference is 8.6 inches. Note that the other two answers are giving you the DIAMETER of the top portion of the lights and not the circumference, which is what the questioner asked.

Hi Nana! It is a beautiful lamp. I don't see any reason those bulbs wouldn't fit. But, get the smaller ones, and the plug-in dimmer thing if you want 3-way.

i would also like to know the correct answer to this, and the measurement would have to be on the inside of the hole, or the size of stem it fits on. As for it being a "standard size", all lamps may not use modern standards, it might depend on who made the lamp, where, and when. That's why people need to know measurements.

I don't have access to the product right now and can double check a different time. I'm certain the bulb is not 6x4x2. I have it installed in a standard light fixture or our RV. It fits perfectly and works very well.

I'm so sorry, Gary. I bought that lamp for an apartment, and it's still there (I've moved). I'd guess it's 12 or 13 inches in diameter. Beautiful lamp with lots of cord.

You are correct, those dimensions are incorrect. The bulb dimensions are 1.1"W x 2.4"L x .4"H

These lamps are designed to fit in a 4 inch whole, press fit. You cou d make them work by making a bracket for the lamps to fit in.

Just under 1 and half inch. Specifically 1in7/16. It fits snug around several ligh sockets in my home. I don't use the screws because you don't really need them. The shortcoming for me is that using it with an ikea shade which is a hole that you put in place and then put in the lightbulb, the ring doesn't have a clamp to hold it to that type of shade. The shade is currently just balanced on this ring. So whole this bridge piece is snug, tge shade isn't held firm in place...maybe I could clamp it together with binder clips. I ordered three styles of these retrofits to match an old lamp with an ikea shade and this is the only one that worked, despite the shortcomings. Just under 1 and half inch. Specifically 1in7/16.

43.6 x 10.4 x 7.1 inches = 43.6 inches tall, 10.4 is the lamp width, and 7.1 is the base width. The neck extends a bit and the lamp can be tilted for a little more height or to radiate outward, but that's not a practical use for it. As I said, I found it a little on the short side for my taste. It's best used over a desk.

Well, here's my answer, on top of everyone elses.... The exact measurement is just over 7" total length. The glass portion is just a hair over 6" and the diameter is just a hair over 1". I have read somewhere that these antique style bulbs are only supposed to be mounted vertically, but I think that really only applies to the squirrel cage style. These are pretty cheap, so try it out! They last a REALLY long time when you use one with a dimmer. I have one that I turn on for about 5 hours every day that's about 2 years old and still going strong.

Robert, I believe it's the smaller dimension, as it fit easily in the base of my touch lamp, which is exactly 7" diameter and only about one inch high. I don't know if this description has been changed since I purchased it for my lamp, but it was definitely not a large unit at all. Certainly not almost 8 inches high by nearly four inches wide.

I don't know if you have purchased these yet, if not they are pretty small lamps, I returned mine because I needed something a bit bigger. The bulbs can take up to a 60 watt bulb. The style is one you would buy for a chandelier. The base of the bulb is real skinny, so you kind of have to look at it first so you can get the right diameter. I also thought looking at this picture the base was kind of a blue color, it actually is just a plain silver color. Hope this helps!

I just put a ruler under it, and came-up with 5.5 inches.I'm using it, right now!It's not 6.5 inches, and Horowitz wasn't very stoked, at all.You should buy this lamp!
