So can this bulb be used in a regular house lamp? Not an industrial strength crazy thing, but really just a lamp I'd have in my living room?

Yes... It fits in normal light outlet. But burns out in a matter of weeks. Don't bother. I've tried this bulb 2x. It does not last.

As long as your fixture could take a standard 60wt sized bulb screw...then yes :) I tried it in the kitchen...a floor lamp and then the ceiling fan light.

I personally would not try anything different w the electricity. Note that this lamp takes only 15 watt bulbs! Try anything more, and it melts. My advice: buy a different lamp.

Sure thing. And u can use any bulb that fits standard bulb socket. I use this light in a hallway.

Yes. We use these bulbs in our ceiling fan in the living room. They do a great job of lighting up the room. No need for another light to be on.

I would have no problem using this bulb as you describe. I have NOT, however, used it in a base-up position. i would do more research before I tried that.

Hi Maureen, to my recollection -- yes it can be used as a normal lamp. And, I believe it can be used as a lamp in different levels of brightness.

Absolutely! I have one in my 3-way bedroom lamp & it works fine. This bulb also works great in my hallway enclosed light fixtures and is the perfect size to fit in them since they are closer to a regular bulb in size, plus the 800 lumens give good light.

Yes - You can use CFLs in any regular light bulb socket - where have you been past few years? :-) And yes I have CFLs in these lamps as well as 100% of my house. Out of 5 stars I would rate these lamps 3.5. Not quite as nice as I was hoping. Look great in the evening light, not so great in daylight.

This bulb would only work where you have a center plug in setup. Mine was in a ceiling light and I ended up actually replacing the fixture totally, the bulb wasn't the problem. What you should do is direct the question to Helene not me.

This lamp may not meet your desires. I use only the bulb that came with the lamp. A larger bulb may not be safe. J

Um. It's just the bulb? If you have a Happy Light, this is a suitable replacement (depending on model). If you don't, you would need a lamp fixture that uses the European base. If you don't want to buy a Happy Light, then purchase a full spectrum bulb with an Edison (screw) base and put it in your standard lamp.

I'm sure you can use a 13 watt CFL bulb in this lamp (60 watt standard bulb equivalent). I have a 20 watt CFL (75 watt standard bulb equivalent) in mine and have had no issues. Have to turn switch 2 times to turn on since this is a 3 way 150 watt lamp, but that doesn't bother me any.

this fits the traditional lamp socket. I believe it is called an "a19 medium base socket". This lamp is for a 12 Volt system. If you try to use this lamp in your home powered by a regular 120 Volt outlet it will be ruined instantly. For this lamp, in most cases, you would need a 12v transformer or power supply. Or power it with a "car" battery. both of mine have been working for 6hrs every evening for 9 months now.

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 :).

I guess it depends on how hot...a regular incandescent bulb is no problem, but anything hotter than that might be suspect. Have you checked the Wells Lamont website? Sorry about that...

No. This bulb is impossible to find around here. No lighting/hardware stores stock this. There is a lighting distributor in my town, and they don't even stock this. It's a pain trying to find these things.
