Is there any way to substitute regular 60 watt bulbs for the candelabra bulbs?

I assume you could as long as the base of the light bulb is the same size. To be on the safe side could call Hunter and ask them.

Yes. These are what I used, Feit 4.8 Watt LED Candelabra Light Bulbs 3-Pack (equiv to 40 watts) by Feit Electric Feit 4.8 Watt = 40 Watts LED Candelabra Light Bulbs 3-Pack 3000K

The item's instructions calls for 25 watt candalabra base bulbs. That's what I used.

No. It uses regular bulbs - not candelabras. I'm using a new CFL and it works great.

I found them at my local hardware store (Orchard). The 'candelabra' type of bulb will fit. However I tried a larger wattage (slightly - their manual says 25w max - I found that 40 would work without it getting too hot). The light is still not bright enough to be very useful.

Hello, I believe 60 watts is equivalent to the 13 watts that the 13 watt energy saving bulbs have. I hope this helps.

First off, if they are vertically mounted on the upper side of the candelabra, the answer would be no. If the bulbs are mounted on the bottom side, and they are pointing down, I found you can use it. I tried a 25W GE bulb that is tapered, and is about 1 3/4 inches wide at it's center.With some effort, I was able to pull the rubber grips on the fingers of the device upward so they would grip the bulb, and it worked!The bulb model number is GE 25FM/AU CD2 P:C 18894.

Hello Baiyu,This bulb is a "candelabra" base bulb, which is indeed smaller than a normal bulb. You can buy a standard-to-candelabra socket converter (which screws into a standard 1" socket and enables you to use candelabra based bulbs in a standard socket,) but the converter will add about 1.25" of height. If that is ok within your design, try Googling "standard to candelabra socket converter," otherwise bulbrite makes a similar bulb (wider bulb--same Edison straight filament) in the standard size socket. I hope that helps!-Nodframe & Jenkins

The bulb needed is a 40 watt G16.5 decorative bulb with an E12 candelabra base. I ordered the bulb directly by searching on Amazon. I imagine they could also be found wherever candelabra or chandeliers are sold. I bought several to have on hand.

!!! NO !!! Nor can you use a Different Wattage Lamp! Ofcourse, I guess you could take all the "Ballast Stuff" out and then replace with just a "Regular Bulb"

We have standard base bulbs in them. Ours is not the candelabra base. We did choose raindrop exterior CFLs, but your standard shape bulb would work as well.

Hello, thank you for the question and interest. Yes you can use the newer bulbs.

These bulbs are a "medium" base bulb. They will not work on candelabra sockets. They do make them though.

Yes you can use a 60 watt bulb. It is aluminum but sterdy. You fill the base with sand.

We use regular 60 watts clear light bulbs, b/c the bulbs it came with were too low. Be careful though, b/c with the 60, the crystals on the lamb might get too hot and melt.

I used candelabera lights. I already had them but you could find them anywhere including Lowes and Home Depot or even Walmart.
