My lamp says that I should use MAX 60W Type A-19 incandescent bulbs. Would it be fine if I plug in this bulb?

You're putting a 40 watt bulb into a 60 watt outlet. You should be fine. With that bulb you will be pulling less watts than what the lamp can output.

Yes. The bulb consumes 40 Watt and the lamp is rated for 60 Watts. Type A-19 is the old incandescent bulb type.

You can use either. I am actually using a 60W equivalent LED bulb and it's the best that worked for me in terms of lighting and durability. Been using it for years now and nothing has changed with the quality. Here's it: Triangle Bulbs T95121-6 (6 pack) - LED Dimmable 60 Watt Equivalent Warm White A19 Light Bulbs, 6 pack

I really can't tell you. I use 2- 150 watt Incandescent bulbs.It does have a two step switch that might pose a problem.Also the two step switch works some of the time. The 1st step ( the dimmer of the two )sometimes does not work and only the bright step works. You might try the manufacturers web site or 800 number, if it can be found.

I am unfamiliar with your type of lamp but this bulb is very economical and as long as it is the correct size and the plug in receptacal is the same it should work !

I have used 50-250 trilight bulbs in a similar lamp with no problem. I do not have a bulb that size at the moment to try in new lamp but I see no reason why you could not use one. I checked my lamp and there is no specifications to the maximum wattage. There is lots of room for air flow and the shade is open. I see no problem at all.

I use 60 Watt Bulbs no problem. I have been using the same sockets for 6 months and have around 15-20 hours AT LEAST on each. I wasn't able to find any label on the bulb itself or packaging that says what wattage it is rated for.

No. The 150W is the maximum. It is a safety issue as a 150W bulb gets very hot. A 40W bulb should be fine. I put a 9W LED bulb in mine and it works great.

I use 60 watt Clear (incandescent) light bulbs. I prefer those because of the way the light is cast. I have never seen them with flourescent bulbs or standard opaque bulbs, I just know that the light (to me) cast off all of my lamps is better and more crisp with a clear, incandescent bulb. I am not at home to check at this momennt, but I am fairly certain 60W is the maximum/recommended wattage. It sends out lots of light. In addition, I get so many compliments on these lamps, I wish I had more of them!!!

Yes, regular incandescent light bulbs will fit, but anything over 40 watts will be very hot. The recommended fluorescent bulb will run much cooler and last way longer.

I don't think this lamp will provide that kind of light. The bulb sockets say '60 w limit', that would be 180 incandescent. My lamp had difficulty accepting LED or CFL bulbs (in fact it wouldn't). You might call the manufacturer or search for a lamp that says it provides daylight.

I wouldn't suggest doing this as a 60w bulb can get quite hot. I'm sure there's another product that's designed to do what you're looking for, and this is not it.

Check out here first: http://www.lampsplus.com/light-bulbs/ This lamp takes any type of bulbs that has same interface as the "standard household Incandescent A-type light bulb". On the sticker it says "MAX 15W medium base type A". So if you want to use standard household A-type bulb, maximum power is 15W because the lamp top is made of plastic and high power bulbs will melt the top. I'm using a 60W LED Bi-directional LED bulb from COSTCO and it's fantastic.

I have a 60 watt bulb in mine, but it says it can take up to a 100 watt bulb max on the lamp.

There will be no problem :) But I'd recommend this bulb because it worked brighter for me, but also 60W equivalent LED. Hope it helps! Triangle Bulbs T95123-6 (6pack) - LED Dimmable 60 Watt Equivalent Daylight A19 Light Bulbs, 6 pack

I didn't know before I read the previous answers which I found very helpful; also, I am assuming that I can switch this cfl bulb with a 60 watt incandescent bulb. I found this very helpful.
