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

It should work fine. We use this bulb in all of our table lamps. The bulb is a little bit longer, but that has not been a problem. Also we could remove all the harp spreaders we had installed to allow cfl's to be used.

Yes. This particular light only consumes 12 Watts, so it is totally safe to use in a fixture rated up to 60W. Your lamp rating is based on actual electrical power consumed by the bulb, and old incandescent bulbs are rated and sold by their power dissipation (for example, 60 Watts). Newer bulbs (fluorescent and LED) often use an "equivalent power" rating to compare the light output to the old incandescent standard--not to describe the actual power consumed. That means that this bulb puts out the same amount of light as an old 60W incandescent, but only consumes 12W.

As your lamp is for 60W, that means the maximum wattage...this bulb is only 12 watts. This bulb should not be used with a 'Three way switch'. I have switched out most 60W incandescent bulbs to 10.5W LEDs or 14W fluorescent's...

I'm sure you can use a 13 watt CFL bulb in this lamp (60 watt standard bulb equivalent). I have a 20 watt CFL (75 watt standard bulb equivalent) in mine and have had no issues. Have to turn switch 2 times to turn on since this is a 3 way 150 watt lamp, but that doesn't bother me any.

You would have to check with the manufacture co. I would only use this bulb with 12V DC. It says AC 12V, but I do not know of a source for 12V AC current. Hope that helps.

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

The lamp lasted less than a year. I no longer have it and do not recommend that you purchase it. It was very poorly constructed. However, to answer your question, though I am not absolutely sure I think it will take any bulb with a traditional screw type (E26 I think) base that is used on the traditional A19 incandescent bulb. You can't use any bulb brighter than 60w. Good Luck!

Your lamp should have a label on it stating what is the maximum acceptable wattage. Using a wattage higher than recommended could be a serious fire hazard, especially with a halogen bulb. It could even cause glass to shatter violently in some fixtures since these bulbs generate a lot of heat. Be sure to check for the label before installing a higher wattage bulb, if you can't find the label stick with the 190 watt bulb.

You should not use more than a 60watt bulb. I had bulbs last3 to5 years.Bulbs can be replaced,they are regular house hold light bulbs . Thank You,Ken

I used these for 13 watt CFLs. They should handle 60 or 100 watt incandescents OK.Thanks....

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.

We have only used incandescent bulbs with our lamp. If there is nothing in the guide I would contact the manufacturer. Hope this helps.

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.

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.

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

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 a three lamp fixture that looks like a 75-100 watt incandescent. So to be honest, your 60 watt example would need two of these bulbs. They are also candelabra based (minny) designed for a chandelier or a similar styled lamp.

I would have no problem using this in a Max 60 watt fixture. Keep in mind that the Max ratings are normally related to the ability of the socket to handle bulb heat. Since the LED bulbs generate little heat it shouldn't be a problem. I have one in a workbench fixture and it's been working fine for 6+ months. I was going to use a CLF but the person using the bench has a problem with the flicker coming off CLF bulbs. No complaints with the Phillips LED so I think he is sold on the LED bulb.
