I'm looking at getting this lamp for indoors. Is there a base? Can the bulb be used without the solar part?

This is solar light, needs sun to light bulb inside, does have 3 levels so you can shorten it, but it does not run by electricity. There is a base. Hope this was helpful PS I just ordered 2 more now have 3 looks great and works excellent out doors better than the little solar lights

This gives off no more light than a candle! It looks nice, but quite frankly, is useless as a light, even after the sunniest of days. Buy something else!

I think it needs the sun to work but I don't know for sure. In the sun it did hop a charge long, nor seem to charge batteries tried two set of recharge batteries. Yes it does have a base. The on off switch is inside the top cover, inconvenient for my situation. Really I was disappointed. I expected more from it.

Yes, it uses a standard base incandescent bulb or an energy efficient bulb. When I received my lamp, the energy efficient bulb (60W) was shipped with the lamp.

no, it is a desk lamp without a buld, i advise you to use a led bulb so that is doesn't get hot

The base of the bulb is a standard size fit so the style is really up to you as long as it does not exceed the wattage. (The lamp comes with bulbs)

Jerry: I'd love to answer this question, but I don't know what this base is. I can tell you I love this lamp. It is heavy duty an puts out tons if light w/o getting hot, which is perfect for me. My only regret is not getting the one with the magnifying glass. My eyes aren't what they use to be:-)

The base is a standard Edison base...fits any standard light fixture...IF you install it in a 120 volt fixture, then you have just FRIED this bulb....if it is the same one I bought, it is 12 volt only !!! If you want to know if you can use a 120 socket being fed 12 volts, then yes you can.Remember that 12 volt normally runs alot higher amperage, but the LED 's require alot less, and wire accordingly...rsbhunter

It is absolutely NOT solar powered. It is powered by conventional 120 Volt AC (normal house wiring outlet). It is a great lamp, but the "solar powered" thing is completely incorrect and misleading, and should be quickly corrected by the seller.

This depends on the bulb, not on the fixture. This Sunlite fixture is a "fully enclosed fixture," so theoretically you should only use bulbs in it that do not say "not for use in fully enclosed fixtures." I don't know much about CFLs, but with LED lamps the problem is that the the bulb itself cannot handle the heat generated and trapped within the globe. There are plenty of LED lamps that are appropriate for use in enclosed fixtures like this, but they tend to be significantly more expensive than standard LEDs. That said, I am currently using some colored LED bulbs in these fixtures that are NOT rated for fully enclosed fixtures, and so far I have not had a problem. Only time will tell if their life will be diminished, but as I understand it, in the case of LEDs, the danger is to the bulb, not to you or your environment, so you could just try standard LEDs.

The shade is not flat. It's like a pyramid with a flat top. There is enough space in the shade for a regular 100 watt bulb.

The solar panel is. Too bad the lamp doesn't have a handle. I'm always using the lamp as a direct-beam lantern around the property at night, and on dark area plumbing tasks. Just don't get the lamp interior wet.

this lamp is intended to be used indoors in my opinion when exposed to the elements it may rust or if it gets wet it may break I wouldn't use it outdoors

It has the A19 base like a standard lightbulb. We use it in a desk lamp so the bulb is not too big.

It's a beautiful lamp but it's plastic, so I'd really recommend if you use LED bulb because it doesn't heat up. I suggest that you use a 40W equivalent LED Globe bulb because it works best for me. The lighting is beautiful and relaxing, and this one, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient. Hope it helps (Pack of 4) G25 LED Bulb 6W, Warm white, 3000K, 40W Globe Bulb Incandescent Replacement, clear Cover, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

I'm not sure...this is a kit to make a regular light fixture into a swag so you can hang it from the ceiling. we used it on an already existing lamp that already had the part that the light bulb screwed into. It doesn't come with any kind of base for a light bulb. Hope this helps.

It is built in to the base and there is just a black cord coming out of it. I was hesitant about buying this, but it puts out more light than my old halogen lamp and is cool to the touch. I have never regretted buying this.

it is a standard Edison base, however in my opinion, the light is crap. It looks cool on the outside, yet has substandard wiring, hence any bulb larger than 25-watts burns it out. What good is a 25-watt lamp???

It comes with lightbulb. I like this lamp! Don't know anything about "solar power--can't find it mentioned.
