I was wondering about the same thing and found an article on this. The lamps are supposed to meet certain requirements for energy efficiency.http://blog.lightingcatalog.com/bid/23395/California-Title-24-Compliant-Lighting-Requirements

Does this mean we can't buy these as Californians? or is it just frowned upon?

Thank You very much for the link it described everything about CA compliant and answered all of my question. Again Thanks so much for finding & sharing this link.

Incandescent bulbs are being phased out in California (as else-ware now) so any lamp that's advertising using 100w or 150w incandescent bulbs must include that note to represent that the configuration is not permitted in CA; it's not the lamp however, it's the bulbs; use a CFL or one of the new LED bulbs coming onto the market this year and it's fine anywhere.

The lamps that I have tell me the bulb that I need to use in the lamp. We have two floor model gooseneck lamps that use this bulb.I wish I could help you. Did you lamp come with a sheet that tells you what kind of lamp you need? Probably not, or you would not be asking this question. It was just a thought.

Are these halogen lamps?--if so, I find that my local Lowes store has a great selection of halogen and other small bulbs. See if you can read the bulb # on the bulb itself and go to the store.

I think you contacted the wrong person but..... This is a GREAT floor lamp, it's tall and has a light on the top that we put a blue bulb in and the smaller light coming off the side takes a smaller bulb and is PERFECT for reading and the one on the side is adjustable and can be put in ANY position. I have it bent all the way down to highlight what's on the table in front of it - it moves in ALL directions very easily. It's a GREAT lamp - I HIGHLY recommend it. I purchased it a while ago so I don't remember the manufacturer but whomever it is they did a GREAT job. BUY IT !!

Hate to say but seems we're mostly a 'disposable' type society - not sure if you can find a box or contact any product info line from mfg'r or perhaps if you have a lighting/electrical distributor/store you could ask in their parts dept. It is a nice lamp however, good luck.

Well, Massachusetts was spelled correctly. I never noticed New Mexico. I am going to give my kids that puzzel to hunt out. I have not changed the bulb yet and have looked on line for instructions because that question has come up before. I will gently pry apart plastic holder when the time comes. The base is sturdy enough. I have had one for a couple of years and my grandkids have one also. Theirs is used as a night light and it is still going.

(Assuming this is fluorescent). The issue is whether the bulb is the correct size. This should be marked on the bulb somewhere (along with the length). Anyone's bulb that size/length should work. Only issue then is whether the bulb has the correct "light" you want (daylight, etc.).

The glass on the lamp I got had no white specs. I do however have a much older lamp (different company) that has always had some whit specs on it. So, I'm not sure how normal that is. If they're large, obvious, and bothering you. I'd return or exchange it.

I looked on the paper that came with the lamp and it didn't have any company contact information-maybe that was on the box ? Sorry I couldn't really answer your question !

According to this article http://www2.buildinggreen.com/article/gu24-new-pin-base-cfls-leds (referenced by Wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GU24_connector ) Discussing "adapters that would allow the use of screw-in bulbs on a GU24" such as this one, David Schiller (VP of Maxlite Sales "and a former director of Energy Star's fixture program") is quoted as saying: "Underwriters Laboratories (UL) said they would never approve them, and the State of California made them illegal."

As best as I can tell for a DIYer, they are not UL approved. Certainly there are no UL markings. They have "approval" codes from other areas/countries but obviously that doesn't equate to a UL approval. Frankly, I haven't installed them yet because I am trying to figure out a way that will definitely meet US codes. As to whether it can be installed safely, I am confident the lights can.

hello Maggie.......well, guess you'd have to check with CA, no idea if their standards are more stringent than what the US standard UL2034 requires......sorry

I think I understand what you are talking about; item 915083 is $30 and item 915003 is $25, both w/ free shipping & fulfilled by amazon. Strange. If you search each model in google, each lamp does show up so they appear to be valid models. To make it more confusing, I found two more model numbers for the same lamp. Perhaps the model # reflects a different manufacturing plant or year? For what it's worth, they are all the same. I ordered 915003 from amazon for $25 and I love it.

The only reason for that description that I can think of is that this light is not street legal, in the US, with the exception of motorcycles. Maybe They just don't want to say that. Look up Daniel Stern Lighting.

I received the correct lamp when I ordered mine. However, I cannot remember whether the picture was representative of the product or not at the time of my purchase. Good luck.

I use it as a headlight in California but never checked out the legality question. It is much brighter than what it replaced providing much improved visibility.

It requires an energysaver light bulb in it & won't take a regular 100 watt light bulb. Reason why: These lamps are sold from the Left Coast - Energy - Supposed - Savers - California. The light output isn't bright.
