Has anyone tried this bulb with a clip-on lampshade? It looks like it would work, but I'm worried about the plastic melting or other unexpected probe

I am using one that way, hanging down from the ceiling with a clip-on shade. ... for several months, now. No problems.

Sorry, haven't had the problem yet. My recommendation would be to try something you've probably done already - take the actual dead bulb to a lighting store or a Lowes or Home Depot to get an exact match.

not a clip. lampshade is attached to a wire frame and attached to the light bulb socket with a threaded nut . it is easy to screw a new light bulb in the bulb socket. shade is 3 3/4 inches across the top / bottom is about 11 inches / height is 6 3/4 inches. shade top to bottom slants about 45 degrees. it is a quality lamp. I use mine every day.

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 the same problem with the florescent bulb in the magnifying lamp I purchased from HD. The very first time I tunred it on it blew. Not sure if it's the ballast or the bub but a replacement t5 6400 K 210V 22W is impossible to locate. That's why I'm here shopping for a LED magnifying lamp, lol.

I had absolutely no problems, my aquarium is well lit and I still can see the light, so I would make sure your bulb is working properly.

I haven't tried that. The lamp I used it on had one 25w small base incandescent bulb. Good question. I'll have to look into it.

I clipped it on a 40 watt standard bulb, fit perfectly. The clamp is flexible enough to move as needed. Hope this helps

Mine had a soft foam sleeve as well that had to be removed before turning on the light. There was no plastic on the bulb! Could some small pieces of the foam packaging could have stuck to the bulb and melted?

I believe they are saying a SHORT a19 incandescent bulb, maybe because the globe would be closer to the plastic cage and possibly melt it. A standard a19 should work fine.

Dear Harriette, i just can recomand this bulb, we are very pleased with it. It is not just bright enough, it is also saving a lot of energie. I am pretty sure that you will love it. It is work to try it out. Best regards Diana

I am useing the flat lightbulb shaped LED bulbs in mine and have had no issues. They are cooler and brighter and it is noticable. The other bulbs were very hot, expensive and delicate.

make sure that both ends are making good contact With the mounting points, also don't touch glass of the bulb directly as the oil in the skin will cause the bulb to burn out very quickly

I took it off and works fine. I think the temperature of bulb would melt it.

I will be very honest with you, this unit I got, the UV light shorted out or burned out. But they replaced the whole unit for me. However, I did not get the same one with the UV in it. So I have never replaced the bulb! I had no problems with the company & recieving my replacement filter. I don't know if this helped you or not.

Any bulb that fits in the socket and fits the wattage should be fine. The shade screws on to the wire lamp harp and doesn't not clip over bulb if that is your concern.
