could i use this in a lamp that does not recommend higher than a 60watt incandescent bulb? I believe the equivalent led size is between 6 and 8 watt

Yes. I use it in a lamp that is for 40 watt incandescent bulbs and it works perfect!

I have a 60w equivalent LED in mine and it works fine. Provides plenty of light.

yeah, I have a 60w incandescent in mine, so I wouldn't see why a CFL wouldn't work.

Check the product specs for this item at Amazon; this lamp takes a 100w 3 way bulb. So you can't exceed 100W. I'm using only a single 6w bulb in mine and it's fine.

I think most of the new led bulbs can be used in any lamp. Although I am not using one in this particular lamp I am using them in several standard 110 volt sockets

Absolutely. LEDs use a lot less, you won't go over.. Just be sure the bulb base fits the socket.. Not standard, use candelabra bulbs.

I currently use a CFL bulb in mine. Only limit would be the size of the bulb (higher wattage = bigger bulb)

Hi Brad, sure should work seamless for the 60 W LED. In general, I would always stay ca. 30% below the max. Watts given by the manufacturers of such devices because of temperature issues. Other than that, I use this one for one year now without any problem. Hope this helps.Best regardsPatric

Note the minimum wattage (60w). If you are trying to switch a single LED light it is almost certainly lower than this figure. I tried this with a "60 watt equivalent" LED which actually consumes 9 watts and it was unreliable and sometimes flickered when "off".

I would say no with one exception. CFL and LED bulbs are still rated in terms of the wattage an incandescent bulb with the same lumens (brightness) rating would consume. So, for example, a 5000K, 1500 lumems CFL bulb would draw 32 to 35 watts, well under 60 watts, even though it is consider equivalent to a 100 watt incandescent. I've used such CFLs with no problems.

I have a 100 Watt bulb in mine but I am thinking of replacing it with an LED equivalent -- fewer watts and more lumens. The lamp itself is wonderful; gets many compliments.

yes I am using a 5 = 60 watt led bulb in one .The adapter converts a candelabra bulb base to a standard lamp size bulb .It does add about 1 1/2 inch length to the bulb fixture so make sure your bulb will fit if it's in a globe though.

I think it would be safe. I don't have a Cree bulb. Do you think the outer glass is thinner or different on a Cree 60 watt bulb than on an incandescent 60 watt bulb? Since the Cree bulbs are made in the USA I suggest you call them to get an answer to your question and to put your mind at ease.

I don't see why not since it's just a standard light socket. But I would still use one of those energy saving bulbs that has the equivalent brightness of a 100 watt incandescent bulb. For example, I'm using a 20 watt LUMAcoil bulb which is equivalent to a 75watt incandescent bulb.

The lamp takes a type "T" 60Watt. I is cylindrical, so not sure if you can find an LED bulb to fit it.

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

Yes. No problem. I installed the CREE 75 watt equivalent warm light bulb and they're awesome. And since my lights are on dusk-to-dawn, the lower LED power use really is an advantage.
