can you use a regular light bulb

a regular light bulb will work in this fixture but if the light bulb came on and then it started to rain, the light bulb would implode because of the cold water on hot glass...

No, an outside fixture that exposes the light bulbs to the weather should not have "regular" bulbs... such bulbs are intended to used inside, protected from the weather. You must use an exterior bulb, easy to find in a flood lamp, also in energy efficient flood/spot bulbs. Be careful to check that the bulb is able to stand up to rain and snow hitting it, even when it is hot. Of course if you put the fixture inside a "box" and shine the light out a window, regular bulbs can be successfully used LOL.

A regular light bulb can be used in such devices, but won't give off the effect of a spot light bulb. It may not last long either because of the elements of weather, being exposed so much, whereas a porch light is usually covering the bulb. Only thing to do is try it so see for yourself.

I don't really know. However, the lamp states that the bulbs must be 60 watts or less. I use ordinary bulbs or those newer energy-saving "curly-que" ones. I notice that in my closet I also have some that look like regular bulbs but says "modified" partial spectrum 60 watt that I wouldn't be afraid to try. I would probably feel the same about the lightbulbs you are referring to as along as they are equivalent to 60 watts or less with the standard size screw-in bottom.

I don't know why not. It's exactly like a regular light bulb in size, threads etc:&gt;D

Yes a regular household plug. I might add Ilove it, it makes the most beautiful pattern on the celing at night. I have it in the bedroom and use a long tubular shaped 60 watt bulb.

Mine had a standard a-type Edison socket, like a standard light built. You could certainly use one of the modern LED bulbs designed to fit standard fixtures.

I used regular bulbs......led dimmers were too expensive; therefore, I haven't tried.

There is a converter for flame light to regular light bulb, can you use these to get a brighter light?

No, you will have to get the bulbs with a different base, the one's u purchased have a regular lightbulb base, you need the candelabra base for that application. Good luck

just a regular light bulb, preference toward a clear 45 watt or higher, fine product!

yes....I use florescent but any light bulb that will screw into a regular light will work.

The lamp does not come with the light bulb. You can use the regular light bulb. Due to it is a touch lamp, do not use the energy saving light bulb unless you use the 3 way energy saving light bulb.

Yes you can plug in regular socket. Comes with black wire connecting from the light.

no i cannot be plugged into a standard light bulb socket. it needs to be plugged into a 4 prong ballast in order to work. some floor lamps uses these.

It just takes a standard light bulb. We used the swirly type bulb, that is energy saving, and that works fine.

yes. you could use standard base incandescent or cfl bulbs, but it looks best with 3" globe bulbs.

Yes it takes a normal light bulb. I purchased this but ended up not using it. It doesn't look very good from bottom. You can see inside the sconce and the inner parts aren't very good looking. I would just go to Lowes. You will be able to see what one looks like hanging. I got a really good looking one from there.
