These bulbs are a "medium" base bulb. They will not work on candelabra sockets. They do make them though.

I think it depends on the bulb. The gu10 base halogen bulbs I found give very similar light as a standard base halogen floodlight, but more focused.

These bulbs have a standard base, called a medium base in the industry. There are three common types of lamp bases in use today: Candelabra base (small base used in chandeliers and decorative lamps), Medium base (the 'standard', most common type referred to here), and Mogul base (large base used for higher wattage bulbs for industrial/commercial use and not too common today).

I don't know what you are calling "medium" base...this bulb will screw into a normal household light socket. The bulb is not water-proof. I use them in a non-climate controlled storage area and they work fine, but I doubt if they will tolerate direct moisture.

The description for this item makes it confusing because it states it's a E-26 holder so is this a medium size base or does it take the mogul type base bulbs? From some of the answers and the description I'm confused on what size base it takes a E26 or the larger size?

From tip to tip the light is 3 inches long. E27 is considered a medium base.

Yes, this is a standard medium base. There is your plain old GE soft white incandescent bulb in mine.

I would have to say "medium". At 3 feet it's more like a foot wide but it is a but focused. It's definitely not a table lamp type of light.

M. Hughes is right - these bulbs fit ye olde conventional medium-base sockets. I bet you're looking for something that fits in a mogul base. Google around for mogul lamps (there's a wikipedia article to help you verify if that's what you've got), and if so, you can find adapters that'll let you put in regular medium-base bulbs.

It says it uses an E17 Intermediate Base bulb, which is smaller than the standard base which is E26. IT is the middle size of the three most popular blubs; The E17 base is larger than a candelabra (E12) and smaller than a medium (E26) or ... You can get different watts.

It is the same base that is on a 4 watt Christmas tree shaped bulb used in many nightlights. My wife needed a bulb for a makeup mirror and the standard nightlight bulbs did fit but were not bright enough.

According to the manual it takes a 100 watt maximum, type A19 medium base incandescent bulb and a 7 watt maximum type C7 candelabra base night light. I have one of those energy saver spiral light bulbs in mine and it works good, plenty of light. I have the 7 watt night light (candelabra base is the standard night light base), it's a little too bright for my taste and I will probably replace it with the 4 watt when it burns out.

There are 3 settings. I used the darkest for my child which was nice and dark, the medium is bright and the brightest is almost blinding. The only stage of lighting that works (display malfunction) for me after 6 months of use is the brightest.

It takes the regular medium base bulbs, which is E26. ) Just a suggestion tho if ever you consider buying this lamp, I'd really recommend that you use an LED bulb for this lamp since it doesn't heat up. Also, using a 40W equivalent LED Globe bulb worked best for me in terms of lighting (that is, if you want your light to be bright but also very relaxing for the eyes) and this bulb, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient.

It's in medium base. For me, it's not true that LEDs are better than CFLs because for me, this works better. Not just that it's so much brighter compared to that LED, but it's also longer lasting.
