Can't speak to the globe style. I'm using the blunt tip and it works perfectly.

The bulb base is standard!! Don't by the smaller base kind as advertised. Get a candelabra shape with a regular base. 60 watt.

The bulb sockets are not the large. Its the small socket like you would have in a candelabra. A dimmer might not work with the bulbs you mention. Normal use is yes

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.

The bulb needed is a 40 watt G16.5 decorative bulb with an E12 candelabra base. I ordered the bulb directly by searching on Amazon. I imagine they could also be found wherever candelabra or chandeliers are sold. I bought several to have on hand.

There are two versions: one for candelabra sockets and one for regular so called E26/E27 sockets. The descriptions for each are usually quite clear. Same bulb, different base. They are great bulbs, but note you may find a better price from other channels. We have about 8 of them in use, and so far only one has failed.

I found them at my local hardware store (Orchard). The 'candelabra' type of bulb will fit. However I tried a larger wattage (slightly - their manual says 25w max - I found that 40 would work without it getting too hot). The light is still not bright enough to be very useful.

It takes 3 candelabra bulbs. I highly suggest that you use this one, it works best and makes this lamp prettier: Triangle Bulbs T95035-6 5W E12 LED Candelabra Equivalent to 40W Incandescent Bulb, Chandelier Led Light Bulbs (6 Pack)

You just have to choose the bulb with the specs that you prefer. I've been using this LED globe bulb for this fixture with 350 lumens and the light is just outstanding and warm, but only consumes 5W. It doesn't heat up also. This bulb is really a good find, I highly recommend it Triangle Bulbs T90020 (Pack of 2) G16 Decorative Globe Light Bulbs 300 Lumen 5-watt LED Light Bulb with E26 Base, Color 3000K, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

...Our G30, 5-watt/130V bulb measures 1-7/8" long and 1.25" and will fit a C7/E12 candelabra base. The slightly larger G50, 7-watt/130V bulb measures 2-7/8" tall and 2.0" and will fit a C9/E17 intermediate base . Replace the old retro fit incandescent bulbs in your light lines with these dazzling round lights and enjoy the radiant glow!...http://www.noveltylights.com/G30-G50-Globe-Bulbs/

I bought a type a15, candelabra base (skinny bottom) 40W bulb. Works fine. They usually come packed 4 in a box.

Yes the globe is 6". I used the six pack of Cree LED 60 Watt equivalent bulbs and they work great. Had to put a dimmer switch to control brightness.

I don't know, but my candelabras measure 4 inches, and some of my led's measure 4 1/8 inches. I have a different issue. Finding led's with enough lumens. 300 or so lumens doesn't do it for me, I'm looking for 500 or so.

I used round candelabra round bulbs that are about 3inches long and there was another inch or so inside the frosted globe. so maybe 4-41/2 inches of inside area.

Sorry I am not an expert on bulb types. Al I can say is that I replaced my original candelabra bulbs with this bulb and the result is phenomenal. I only need two of them to light up the dining room. I used to have 6 25-watt and 6 7-watt bulbs. YOu can figure out the savings on electricity. The illumination from the 12-watt LED bulb is brighter than the 192-watt total that used to light up the space.
