Can you use LED bulbs in this fixture? I have been trying but they keep burning out ... and at $7 per bulb that's no fun. Does anyone know?

I'm not an electrical engineer but you may be dealing with a voltage drop issue across a circuit/wiring that has to feed 6 sockets. LED's may not like being in a parallel configuration. I'd get with a lighting specialist, commercial type vendor, and let them know what you are trying to do..good luck.

I'll assume your question is the "cost" of "1" LED bulb..... there's the "Prime" price of about $11 and a few less expensive prices you can find at Amazon and other places (M4 lighting). I just outfitted my Airstream replacing 18 interior bulbs. Yes, it's a little expensive but when you consider using less electricity (boon-docking) and the heat the original bulbs put out (especially in the restroom). They run much cooler, save energy, and last way longer then the standard bulbs. Also, I didn't buy them all at once (didn't want to piss off the wife" so I made 2 purchases to complete the interior replacement.

The min/max wattage comment (by Scott) is spot on. My fixture had 3 dimmable LEDs and I had flickering. I swapped out one LED bulb for an incandescent to get above the min wattage. All flickering is gone. dimming works as expected.

I don't really know, as we have yet to,have one burn out. I think LED's last much longer than reg bulbs, so it should be a long time before they would burn out. So far, we are very happy with this fixture. Very bright & lights up a broad area thanks to the swivel of the lamp arms.

I haven't. But You can use any bulb that you prefer as long as it fits with the base, the fixture's dimension and the maximum wattage allowed. What I use for this one is actually a globe bulb. I love it because the lighting is very pleasing in the eyes. Bright yet cozy. Plus, it's really durable and high quality. Hope it helps!

I bought them, but at the time the pricing was something like per dozen, but they actually charged me per item. Needless to say, I asked for my money back and return them. Amazon gave me my money back and I kept the bulbs. I believe that I only bought (2). As for bulbs, I bought them for a chandalier. So, I bought the G7 Power E12 bulb instead. I bought maybe (36) of them. I have placed them in my outside candelabra lights near my garage and I love them. I think these Bulbrite LEDs are more for Christmas lights. I think they are warm. I didn't like them because of the original price. Hope I helped. Regards. I bought them, but at the time the pricing was something like per dozen, but they actually charged me per item.

I don't see why not I use flourence bulbs - your led should have a standard light bulb end if so it should screw in like a regular light bulb - under the 4 way socket there is a single socket the four sockets on top can not be moved works great for me

I had to get LED bulbs, my electrician installed CFLs that were marked,"not for use with dimmer". He said they were, but I also saw the box they came in and it said not for use with dimmer. The LEDs cost more, but are engineered to last much longer than CFLs. I am looking at them now, and I think it was worth the money to get the LEDs. They seem brighter than the CFL bulbs also.

Yes, that's why I'd really recommend that you use LED bulbs for this fixture because it does not heat up. You can try checking out this bulb, it's what I've been using and I consider it one of the best bulbs I've purchased. Hope it helps!

Yes you can use led light bulbs with this provided they are standard light bulb sockets. I use led as well.

I am not sure about that but I would not buy LED bulbs from Torchstar. I purchased 10 of these last year and within 9 months 7 had burned out. Torchstar Told me they would replace them if I paid for shipping the broken bulbs back and there was no warranty on replacement bulbs. Their lightbulbs are poor quality and their customer service is worse!

Yes, you can use LED bulbs with this fixture. We use PAR38 LED bulbs from Feit Electric in our fixture and they work fine. Make sure the LED bulbs are rated for outdoor use.

Did you ever find replacement bulbs? I have the same light and I cannot find them in any store. Please help!

From my experience with these lights, the bulbs last a long time. Possibly years. During that time, the price has dropped considerably. I have no regards. I've cut my electric bill considerably. Prices have come down 75% since I bought these lights. At today's prices, I'd probably replace the whole light. We have four of these units, with multi lights and nothing has burned out. I originally had your same concerns, but after almost 2 years, I can say, I'm happy.I hope you find this answer helpful.

We purchased the LED bulbs. They don't burn hot or burn out. They also don't cast a blue tone like the bulbs that come with the kit. They were about $5 each but well worth it. You can find them under suggested items.

What does that have to do with rhe fact that led does not work in fixtures. You want me to buy bulbs i know upfront that do not work ? Makes no sense to me.

Yes you can replace the bulbs with LEDs. I bought the 10 pack of 4watt LED. The work great.
