Are you able to use just a regular 40 or 60 watt bulb and not a three way?

A regular 40-60 watt bulb will work in this lamp. It might require clicking the on knob more than once for the light to come on but that does not bother me. I love the lamps. Bought them for a bedroom and they look very nice and are a very sturdy well made lamp:)

Yes, we use CFL's in both of ours. We just have to click the switch twice, instead of once, to turn on the lamp. We really like the lamps.

You can use a larger LED or CFL bulb. You just can not exceed the total lamp wattage of 150 watts. So if you added 2 Philips 100 watt EQUIVALENT LED bulbs it would be fine because the bulbs do not actually use 150 watts of power. Your only limitation is the size of the bulb.

The beam on the included bulbs is much more than 90 degrees.You can look around for different MR16 LED bulbs to find what you need. I use LED bulbs in these and they're fine --- rated for 50watts. I don't see why the housing would limit a 60degree bulb.

Yes. I have used both the 60 and 100 watt version of a CFL since I first bought this product.

You can use a large bulb, 100 watt. I originally gat a three way bulb because it said it was dim able, it is not! Also, you'll want to take a Xanax before you attempt assembly - it is impossible, and once you get it partially assembled, you will want to return it. Yet you can't because it won't come apart. It's a beautiful lamp otherwise and the foot pedal is convenient

These lamps are not 3 way and are 110V standard. Would recommend using no higher than 40 to 60 watt cool bulbs.

Yes, you can use this item without trouble cause the bulbs are made thinking in 55 watts. Regards.

You can use it in a three way socket, but it will not work as a three way bulb. It will only light at it's full light level.

Not exactly sure what that means but it is a regular lamp so it can take whatever you put in it like a three way now It just basically wants you to stick A 40 watt bulb. I hope that helps. I am very pleased with 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, this one takes a *regular* (large base) bulb. I sure wouldn't use anything bigger than 60 in it .... not sure what it's rated for, but 6 bigger bulbs would be overwhelmingly bright! I use 40 watt bulbs and that's plenty.

No, a 3-way bulb will make no difference. I believe you can use a regular 100-watt bulb. I have 75 in mine.

the lamp takes a 3 way bulb, max wattage to 100. I used a bulb that is 40, 60 and 100 watts

Of course you can. I personally use 7W LED bulbs (about as bright as a 40W cool white bulb). Perfect for our daughter's room.

Yes you can use regular light bulbs but the light is not designed for them. The bulbs will have a shorter usage before they burn out and there is an additional threat of fire from overheating.

Yes, you can use frost-colored bulbs. They must be candalabra type (smaller screw-in base) and they should be 40w or less.

This lamp is too small for even a 60 watt bulb. I use a 40 wall and believe that is what is listed for max usage by the manufacturer
