As long as the desk lamp is designed for the non-standard base this bulb uses and 40 watts will meed your needs, sure this will work.

It should be fine in a desk lamp. I used mine in a wall mounted light fixture. It works well and the price was great.

Not as they are manufactured. You'll probably have to shave down the plastic tabs on the lamp housing.

Yes. They should work fine. I was using CFL's and since have gone toLED's. and they are all working great.

Yes, they screw into a regular light bulb socket, I put in a desk lamp to highlight a wall feature ;-)

NO However, they are not water proof and with exposed contacts, could short out. Note that the center for a connection is supposed to be positive but often is not. The lamps will not work unless polarity is correct, they are diodes after all.

If you measure the width between the two connectors they should match. Also the wattage and if they are ac or dc current. Other than that they should work. They worked great for my desk lamp. Have a great day and I hope this helps. Charles Owens

With an adapter you could put it in a standard lamp, but the I believe the wattage is only effective for a short distance. So, it wouldnt do much for your desk...It would only help for anything that floats nearby.

I don't think these bulbs would work for that application. These are full-sized light bulbs for regular lamps. Someone might make LED bulbs for that purpose, but not these.

No the lights are worthless. They wont even light up your face. Why use this as a light? Just buy a desk lamp.

Yes, but their so low light you wouldn't want them on anything but high. Mines in a touch lamp right now. Kinda annoying, having to touch it three times to get a usable light. I feel like I'm OCD.

They would require modification. You would probably need to make mounts for them. They are mainly intended for desk use.

I rebuilt a hanging lamp with this setup. It should be fine. It's got one of those roller switches on it if you're ok with those.

Yes. They are adequate, but definitely not the strongest lights you can buy. For the price, they are handy to have and comfortable to wear.

It should be ok. I use one in a collapsible light box for 3 to 4 each time and never have any issues. Just remember these are very large lamps. Here's the box we use. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0028K2TWM/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1396835122&sr;=8-3π=SY200_QL40

yes.nice lamps but they are really big and its hard to find the 3 way bulbs that work.i can only get a single bulb to work.but they are very decorative looking.everyone remarks on them.

I think they would be great for that but you need a few of them. They are very well made and give off a little more light then a double 8 foot fluorescent fixture.
