Do 'regular' light bulbs look ok in this light or do you need the retro filament type clear bulbs?

Regular lights look ok but you may consider a frosted bulb. My disappointment with these really was on how much the cans restrict the light to a very narrow throw. These are great in a room that already has great lighting but these should not be used as a primary light source

I have regular old soft white light bulbs in there. I like the way it looks. we do have it on a dimmer so we can have it bright or "moody"

looks like it to me--just regular ol' light bulbs, when you turn them on - the room lights up-no squinting, or waiting required!

Clear. I also bought led pin bulbs at the same time. It was less expensive then buying the led ones.

I have used regular sized light bulbs and they give off a nice up lighting effect.

The bulbs supplied were the shorter ones that do not stick out. They're not the traditional look, but put out a lot of light for about 15W. I've gotten used to them and have actually replaced some of my other lights with the same.

no. the light bulb is regular light (see my review; i'm the first reviewer, and i point this out)

Regular light bulb, I use the 60 watt, but a lower wattage would work good if you are going for a more low key atmosphere. Hope this helps!!

We use regular 60 watts clear light bulbs, b/c the bulbs it came with were too low. Be careful though, b/c with the 60, the crystals on the lamb might get too hot and melt.

It does have a vintage look to it and the yellow-ish dim you are probably looking for. These are a good quality bulb but are not the long filament, dramatic Edison style that is very popular right now.

I think we are using a 40 or 60 watt antique looking light bulb similar to:40 Watt - Vintage Antique Light Bulb - Edison Style - Cage Style Tungsten Filament - ClearHope this helps.

You can use regular Incandescent bulbs, but over time the heat will adversely affect the plastic for that reason so I recommend LED. The bulb holder is positioned such that the bulb is pointed to one side so use an omni-directional LED for better light distribution.

You are very right. These definitely would not look good with those bulbs. Even if you had ones that were really short and didn't stick out, the effect would be clunky. I have clear amber candle bulbs and it's a pretty glow.

They are like a regular, old style light bulb. I put it in to replace a compact fluorescent, and it surprised me how bright and wide spread the light was. Definitely what you are looking for, it seems to me.

The retro-fit kit has a built in bulb and a trim all in one very sleek-looking unit. You will also get better light distribution than with just purchasing LED bulbs.

My building guy recommended regular-style bulbs with the dimmer switch; I am not certain why.

The ones that I have are lightly tinted, to add to the "vintage" effect. The filament operates at a fairly low temperature... these are not bright bulbs for reading, but designed to provide a nice nostalgic ambiance. Not nearly as dark appearing as the picture shows.

Its cool white so very bright pure white. warm white would be close to a regular bulb and better imo. Picture shows cool. Just select the one you want.
