Have trouble to close the glass because there is not enough room for the bulbs. Should I use very small bulbs?

There isn't a lot of room for standard bulbs. If you don't want to bend the metal brackets holding the bulbs, you can use LED corn bulbs like these: http://smile.amazon.com/Generic-27x5050-300LM-2800-3200K-White/dp/B00ANI1Q9S/ref=sr_1_37?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1405191333&sr=1-37&keywords=led+bulb. They are highly energy efficient, long lasting, don't produce a lot of heat, and most importantly, they fit.

My husband installed it and he said he put regular size in it, 70 watts if you can't figure it out, take the light to lowes or walmart and ask them. Or it might be on the box or instructions somewhere

I'm not sure how to ask a question here. How high is this, and how wide is the narrow part at the bottom? I have small light bulbs (the kind with about a 1/2" screw rather than full size) and a UNO fitting (my two lamps were made in England, but I had them rewired for the USA when I moved back. I have had a very hard time finding new shades, the ones I just bought are too short, so want to know exactly the dimensions of this piece, as I think it might work. Also, what is the distance at the very top of the narrowest point above the socket, as I need to see if that will get in the way of my round small bulbs (they are LED so I'm keeping them a long time).

If you are using the bulb tea, you will have to make a full pot. The pots aren't that big anyways. If you use loose tea leaves, then you can make a smaller amount. If want even smaller than don't use that pot.

The lamps use the smaller size decorative bulb sizes. (the screw part of the bulb is smaller)

No special bulbs- I happen to have in the energy efficient ones and they do stick out a wee bit. You may use regular bulbs

It would have to be a pretty small one. A regular size spot light bulb will not fit in here. These are not that big.

There is no holder for the bulbs. I hooked up two bulbs with my hands while the equipment where the bulbs was supposed to be connected turned off. When I turned them on, they came on OK. The bulbs are not static sensitive and as long you grab them by the glass portion and the equipment is off, you shall be fine.

I have a regular sized light bulb (40 Watt), and it does stick out a little at the end (which is not a big deal for me). A shorter light bulb would fit more completely inside the "bucket" of the paint can.

I was filling mine with 8oz of water and Betadine which filled it up but as you get to the bottom of the liquid you do have to really squeeze the bulb. It didn't bother me as much because I had already used most of my solution anyway. I felt it got the job done and was easy to clean. Also not very big which is nice. Try filling it all the way up and just keep squeezing without letting too much air in. Hope this helps :)

The base on these is much smaller than your typical 60 watt bulb. I bought them for a chandelier and that's all they fit.

just measured the one inside ours. it's 3in from the bottom of the bulb glass to the tip. there may be about 1/4 or so extra space you can use, but stick to 3in and you should be good.

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.

You absolutely need the mini shades for the intended look as designed. Need to bear in mind the tiny bulbs are mostly for a decorative effect and not for providing any meaningful illumination.

You can not see bulbs out of top. They (the glass shade) are a little over 5 inches tall. I had to reach up and over but that's about the height. We love this fixture.

Designed for an incandescent, I had trouble fitting anything bigger than a 9W spiral CFL. Any LED bulbs that I'm aware of would be physically too big for the small horizontal bulb compartment. You might fit it in there, but you'd see where it rests against the glass diffuser.

no trick really, you just have to be brave! with the lamp unplugged , pull straight out on the bulb, keeping it flat against the lamp shade there is not much clearance and I am always afraid the glass will shatter, but it never has. good luck!

Hi, I actually replaced existing bulbs with one size smaller, so that the lights don't protrude and shine in your eyes, rather than down light on the "globe" . A bit fiddly, but doable. It took 2-3 of us a couple of hours to assemble, including the electrician - but well worth the effort. It's a magical lamp, we love it.
