Mine came with 8 watt bulbs. I don't believe you are supposed to use an higher than that. The lights are fantastic and I highly recommend them!

I don't have the paperwork anymore but I remember when I bought the lamp I purchased 60 and 40 watt bulbs. The 60 was too bright but the 40 seemed perfect. So at least 60 but you don't need any brighther than that for reading with this lamp.

I used a Sylvania 4W. 4C7/BL/4PK. UPC 4613513549 From my local KMart. The 15watt bulb it shipped with was too bright.

I have the exact lamp. It uses a Type B bulb with a blunt tip. Maximum 60 watt bulb. GE and Phillips have these bulbs.

I've tried looking in stores for a replacement bulb and I ended up buying this one online: Triangle Bulbs T50026 - FML27/65K, 27 Watt, 6500K Natural Daylight, 4-pin GX10q-4 Base, FML Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb It works really great, tho. And it's durable. Hope it helps

I have used 50-250 trilight bulbs in a similar lamp with no problem. I do not have a bulb that size at the moment to try in new lamp but I see no reason why you could not use one. I checked my lamp and there is no specifications to the maximum wattage. There is lots of room for air flow and the shade is open. I see no problem at all.

A regular 40-60 watt bulb will work in this lamp. It might require clicking the on knob more than once for the light to come on but that does not bother me. I love the lamps. Bought them for a bedroom and they look very nice and are a very sturdy well made lamp:)

I have found replacement bulbs for that particular lamp on "elightbulbs.com". When you have reached the site's front page type into the search bar: 40s11 ( 40 is the wattage and s11 is the style of base). That should take you right where you need to be.

a 15 Watt medium type A base bulb. Which I could not find at my local hardware store, he sold me a 13 watt energy saver bulb which killed the damn thing. (I now see on the package that 13 watts on the energy saver = 60 watts. I honestly don't think that 15 "regular" watts is going to give you enough light to work at a desk.

That is a strange set of numbers as far as I'm concerned. I have always ordered replacement 27 watt bulbs through Amazon and only pay attention to the type of bulb, that is, a four prong, four tube 27 watt bulb. There have been a variety of vendors and all of the bulbs I have ordered work just fine.

I use 40 watt bulbs in mine. The base is the same as standard bulbs, but they are shaped like a flame instead of the regular bulb shape.

I just copied down the instructions inside the lamp and took the information to Home Depot with me. They gave me the right bulb. It's worked ever since. It says "E17 MAX 25W Type R Lamp." It's a very small bulb in the shape of a flood light bulb. The low wattage works out ok if you are focusing the light on a small workspace.

I bought mine here and it works great and not that pricey Triangle Bulbs T50026 - FML27/65K, 27 Watt, 6500K Natural Daylight, 4-pin GX10q-4 Base, FML Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb

A 40 watt worked for me -- and I like dim lights to preserve the rods in my eyes. So, you must have a dud if the bulb is tightly screwed and there isn't any packaging blocking the electrical connection. My lamp was packed in a messy kind of paper and I used compressed air to blow all the gunk out of the socket.

You should contact the manufacturer. I bought the bulb not knowing its requirements.
