What full spectrum bulb (5500 kelvin, like ALZO) does it fit with the reading lamp? Frustrated that manufacturer poorly chose a small bulb holder.

I had similar issue, so I bought a bulb adapter from Amazon, like E17 to E12 http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GGN98UI/ref=smi_www_rco2_go_smi_2072681322?ie=UTF8&redirect=true&psc=1. So just check the type of your light bulb and buy the correct E17 adapter.

I don't understand what full spectrum bulb really means, but the globe is plastic, so a blub with a higher voltage than recommended could possible melt the globe. The bulb they sent me is extremely bright. The globe has a warning of fire danger is anything other than 40W or smaller, hopefully, this helps...

you need a e17 and a e26 bulb for it, you can purchase this set here http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=B00NSRBSUS or you can search for any E17 and E26 bulb

I had similar issue, so I bought a bulb adapter from Amazon, like E17 to E12 Light Bulb Socket Adapter Intermediate Base E17 to Candelabra E12 ReducerSo just check the type of your light bulb and buy the correct E17 adapter.

I couldn't find one at my local store so I ordered one from amazon specifically sized for my lamp. Now I have the correct bulb and when it burns out I can take it to the store and find it, but I will most likely order another from amazon.

Staples sells the proper light bulb - it's $18 plus tax (Xenon type light) http://www.staples.com/40-Watt-Bulbrite-T3-Clear-E12-Dimmable-Warm-White-Krypton-Xenon-Bulbs/product_SS2078580.On my fixture, there is only 2.5 inches in length (so bulb must be smaller) and only about 1.5 or 1.75 inch in width due to the small upside "lampshade harp" that the crystal drop is attached to. VERY POOR DESIGN!

my reply is I need to get one also but 42 W 4-quad bulb since I zapped mine with electro static discharge last night. the company you deal with should be able to give you the right replacement for the number you give him. look around if amazon can't help go to Full spectrum or a store near you that sells different type of bulbs. even Amazon should have replacement book to look it up.

i have three of these. two in lamps with shades and one in a glass globe up side down. i have to report that they are still working. bought them on october 5th 2013. i will continue to update on these until october of this year to see if they last that long. keep in mind these are about 25 watts regular incandesant. the light is like daylight about 5000 kelvin. in my opinion this is bulb for a small lamp and not bright enough for reading.hope this helps you.

Bought this lamp about 2 years ago. Great lamp. Fit my needs very well. Nicely constructed, and nice finish. All good then Bulb blew ( estimate about after 400 hours). I read other reviews and came to same conculsion as many others . Bulb is almost impossible to find. Here as follow is what i did: 1) Search Amazon and web for the NFS 27W #U Daylight bulb. Could not find. Found one like this but only 11W for $45.00. Forgetaboutit. 2) Found a 40 watt equivilent CFL in cellar. Fits! But not much light. Noticed Ballast on this bulb just a little less than the lamp "cylinder" in which it fits. 3) Tried 25W standard CFL (100W eq.). Ballest too big, won't fit. need some kind adapter to make fit. 4) went to big Orange Store. Bought old fashioned bulb/ extension cord adapter (~$2.50). the kind that screws into standard socket, then has 2 extension cord outlets on sides, then ends in standard bulb sprocket. 5) Screwed in adapter, just fits. Now bulb Socket outside "cylinder". Screwed in 25W daylight CFL, Fits. Good Light. Althought the 25W CFL is shorter than orginal and 2 less watts I can't notice any difference in light output. All Good again

The product just include one type B bulb for the reading lamp. We installed a CFL bulb of 23w, it works well.

The lamps that I have tell me the bulb that I need to use in the lamp. We have two floor model gooseneck lamps that use this bulb.I wish I could help you. Did you lamp come with a sheet that tells you what kind of lamp you need? Probably not, or you would not be asking this question. It was just a thought.

My unit came with an Agrobrite 6400 K color temp T5 lamp. You can put in what ever you want. T5 bulbs are available in a variety of color temperatures.

I could not find the 6400K full spectrum 27 watt bulb at Lowe's..or anywhere else in my town...or on Amazon. So I called the distributor of the lamp and they said I could order bulbs from them, which is what I did. The bulb was about $10 including shipping, as of mid-2014.

My TV had the same problem. I decided it didn't probably matter and bought it. However, Amazon a actually sent me the wrong model of lamp, which didn't fit in the tv. I ended up taking the new lamp apart and putting the bulb itself in the old lamp. It was quite easy, just a few screws.Regardless, I still think the p does not matter, especially because many sites seem to use the two interchangeably. I'd say buy it.

I have it in a dog house with a light scoket with a regular bulb in it. It works great. There is room left over but I don't know what an adapter looks like. Will look one up on line. Just looked adapter up. Can you describe yours as there are a lot of different ones. The dog loves to read at night :) All kidding aside, it keeps her warm in the winter. Edit: I just check the light cage and with the regular light bulb in there is about 1 1/2 to 2 inches left.

My local Ace Hardware had a few bulbs that wold fit my lamp, but I have not purchased one yet. The bulb that came with mine is very bright-white. Too much so. A warmer bulb would be preferable.

we use a 60 watt bulb. I started out using a 45 but just tried 60 because the 45 wasn't light enough. No trouble using a 60 watt.

do u mean the power or not?this lamp holder is E27/E26 ,we suggest you max 60W incandescent bulb,but sure you can use higher power,but is not good for the holder life Thanks Jet

I don't really know. However, the lamp states that the bulbs must be 60 watts or less. I use ordinary bulbs or those newer energy-saving "curly-que" ones. I notice that in my closet I also have some that look like regular bulbs but says "modified" partial spectrum 60 watt that I wouldn't be afraid to try. I would probably feel the same about the lightbulbs you are referring to as along as they are equivalent to 60 watts or less with the standard size screw-in bottom.

I have these lamps from a few years ago and had a hard time finding replacement bulbs. I ended up just buying regular lightbulbs that fit, but stuck way too far out and did not work well. The specs listed say "30 Watt 5000K Daylight Balance Compact Fluorescent Photo Light Bulbs" which can be bought on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/CowboyStudio-Daylight-Balanced-Fluorescent-Bulb/dp/B001MLBK0U/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1394214764&sr=8-2&keywords=30+Watt+5000K+Daylight+Balance+Compact+Fluorescent+Photo+Light+Bulbs But if it's saying 45W on what you have, then I guess the specs above are wrong! They do have 45W here: http://www.amazon.com/CowboyStudio-Fluorescent-Daylight-Temperature-Photography/dp/B004LONG0W/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1394215030&sr=8-2&keywords=45+Watt+5000K+Daylight+Balance+Compact+Fluorescent+Photo+Light+Bulbs

None that I am aware of at present. I installed my Full Spectrum Light Bulbs (ALZO 45W CFL) in light sockets without a globe or shade (not my original plan). Used in this fashion they throw a lot of light as long as you aren't too concerned about appearances.One is mounted horizontally and another vertically. Both have been in service since the beginning of this year without any problem.
