I use "daylight" and must be "daylight" this matches the type of light from the sun. This fluorescent bulbs promotes natural plant growth for live plants and not as hot. You don't want to boil or cook the fish and plants. On the plus side cheaper on electric. compact fluorescent will also fit in incandescent hoods. Lowes and Home Depot carry the bulbs, regular compact fluorescent do work just fine. You pay more if you want to see aquarium on the tag which raises the price tag. I have been raising fish doing this for forty years, That hood I use a daylight equals 40 watts but uses 8 watts compact fluorescent fits the hood just fine?

It just takes a standard light bulb. We used the swirly type bulb, that is energy saving, and that works fine.

It uses a particular type of light-I've never seen this type of "bulb" before but Amazon sells them. I have the desk size (usb) so others might take another type of bulb

We use an ordinary incandescent bulb and it works just fine. Great light, we love it. It is on our detached garage and gets brighter as we walk past it to the house and then dims to half bright.

Thank you for your question. Per the description: it is capable of using a 75-watt incandescent or 15-watt compact fluorescent bulb.

It uses a halogen T3 100 watt bulb. I bought the Philips BC100T3Q . They are not very expensive.

Fluorescent. I do not recommend the Ott Lite because of wiring problems. They break down in less than a year. I had one replaced and had the same problems!

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

It uses a standard size screw-in base similar to a regular incandescent bulb. We use a CFL screw-in bulb and they are available at all hardware stores such as Lowes, Home Depot, etc.

It uses a standard light bulb socket. But I have noticed as these bulbs burn more than 4hours that they have a aggravating flicker to them. So now I use them in short need lighting only, They are installed in a premium hunter ceiling fan with remote control sometime I plan to try them in a standard shade light to see if they still flicker.

It's somewhere between those two. It definitely doesn't have the level of yellow of and incandescent bulb. It's not as white as a fluorescent. I liken this more as the light from a bright day. I was looking for something similar to an incandescent, but this opened my eyes to how more white could actually be good. I've bought several and think this quite an improvement in the market.

It uses 4 60-watt bulbs. Four of them are very bright, so I installed a dimmer switch too. That way, I have bright light when I want it, but it looks very romantic when I turn down the intensity.

I have one and it uses night light light bulbs. It looks really neat when a colored lightbulb is used. I have a blue one in mine right now and it is really pretty.

Incandescent lamps have a tungsten filament that incandesces, or glows brightly, when electricity is passed through it. Fluorescent lamps produce light by electrical discharge through gas in the tube. Fluorescent lamps generally aren't dimmable, apart from some compact fluorescents that screw into regular light sockets. If they are made to dim, it will say so on the box.
