FYI, that standard bulb in the U.S. that we all grew up with is is a type A19, so you can search for "A19" to find what you're seeking.

It takes a standard bulb base and it is only limited by the amount of wattage.

By standard house bulbs I assume you mean tungsten, incandescent bulbs. I have not tried them but they certainly should work.

This LED A19 bulb will work great check out this link and they are LED A19 light bulb / standard size light bulb so it will last longer and save you money Triangle Bulbs (Pack Of 10) 12 Watt A19 LED Bulb, 75 Watt Incandescent Bulbs Replacement, 1055lm, Soft White, Dimmable,

I use just any old bulb I found laying around the house. 40 watt, 60 watt. Or even the new CFL's work!

It takes most standard incandescent bulbs except for the ones that have multiple brightness settings. It does not work with the compact fluorescent bulbs even though they fit in the socket.

These bulbs have standard bases. They fit my fixtures just fine, but several of them did not work.

You would use very low watt, the candle type bulb. I ordered these and they were too small for my lighting fixture and I'm looking to sell them, they are brand new.

I can't give an exact answer without removing them - and that's hard to do. The bulbs are slightly longer by about 1/8" or 3/16" than a standard incandescent bulb, and a bit bigger in diameter, maybe 1/8". The bulbs seem positional and you may have to move or reverse them in the socket to get them to work.

Don't know but the thread of the bulbs are small. Does not take standard bulbs

B10 Chandelier Bulbs (small not standard) but you can get a conversion kit to make them medium base right here on amazon for I think just $5.

We are using 40 watt decorative bulbs with a conventional base. I would think that LED would work.

I have SAME question and would be curious to know what kind of bulbs would be needed (as I don't want to buy lamp and then have to go through a complex process of locating bulbs)?

Yes, I guess so. I know of "small base" bulbs (like chandelier bulbs) but I haven't seen "large base" ones, that's why I didn't understand the "medium base" description, but I think we are talking about the same thing.

We have standard base bulbs in them. Ours is not the candelabra base. We did choose raindrop exterior CFLs, but your standard shape bulb would work as well.

These bulb are to small for a standard light socket. If that is what you mean by "standard". I use them for salt lamps.

Yes. The bulb specs mention 110V. Power in the US is generally around 117V, and items rated 110-130 volts should work with the US power grid.

I believe that B shaped light bulbs like the bulbs in a chandelier have smaller bases. Therefore a A19 bulb like this one would not be able to screw into the B type fixture. Home Depot has a pretty good description of bulbs http://ext.homedepot.com/shopping-tools/light-bulbs/bulbbasics.html

We used a typical Edison Bulb and it does not stick out the bottom of the of the fixture. We bought bulbs at Home Depot, but Amazon has them too. They run anywhere from $6-$12 each bulb.

I have been using these studio lights for a few months now. They came with 45 watt, 5500K bulbs, similar to the bulbs you are looking at above. They use standard size light bulb bases like everything in your house. Your higher wattage bulbs should work ok. Heat would be the main concern. I probably would not use halogen bulbs because they are very hot. The only modification I made was to extend the vertical support rod so I can sit these on the floor and now have them high enough for my tabletop, otherwise the base has to sit on the table itself, taking up room.

I would say if yours have a standard size outlet for a regular bulb they would work and be suggested.

Yes, it will take standard Edison screw based bulbs. It is shipped with an Edison screw based CFL, but you can use a standard A-19 bulb if you wish, perhaps in conjunction with a dimmer switch.
