Is it posible to use them just like lamps, to cover a light bulb? Or they will be born?

Hello, Thank you for your inquiry! The sky lanterns are meant to fly, they can not be used like lamps. They should also not be anchored down once they are lit that can become a fire hazard. I would recommend using a basic round paper lantern if you would like to use it for decorations, those will work out better. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions, we would be happy to assist you. Customer Service RepresentativeJust Artifacts1-866-620-8328

no, the only thing that inflates them is the heat- they would be floppy, and they would burn- defintely not.

no they are designed to float by the heat supplied by the fuel pad plus they are way to flimsy they are fireproof they also are quite large for a light bulb application

NO, I would NOT use them for lamps. They only balloon up because of the heat of fire. A light bulb would not create enough heat to keep the lantern inflated and it would eventually fall on the bulb and catch fire. They claim to be fire retardant, but I have personally seen them catch fire, and rather easy.

I dont believe so. Honestly the bulbs are included with the lamp and I just use those. They are the long pointy ones. Dont think they are energy efficient.

They are LEDs so not not user replaceable. But they will probably outlast the lamp itself.

It should be ok. I use one in a collapsible light box for 3 to 4 each time and never have any issues. Just remember these are very large lamps. Here's the box we use.

I don't think so, as it's made up of many small LEDs - but because they're LEDs, they'll last a long, long time, and it'll be cheaper to get a new lamp than to replace the bulbs.

I haven't tried to cover mine, but maybe the glass ones that you fit on the light where the bulb goes into to light cover and then you screw both light and cover into outlet.Sorry couldn't help more.

NO However, they are not water proof and with exposed contacts, could short out. Note that the center for a connection is supposed to be positive but often is not. The lamps will not work unless polarity is correct, they are diodes after all.

Sure. They're a good source of light, only problem is using them to try to see things where color matters. Don't try tracing electric wires with them, if there's any color code. But, if your power goes out, GREAT to have. Safe for kids, unlike candles. You're not going to read with them, but to keep you from walking into stuff, great.

We put large globe shaped 110W bulbs in them because we liked the look. They could take LEDs or compact fluorescent, but the bulb might be way up in the neck. If i were using a small bulb i would probably use an extension to get it down to the edge of the shade. They are nice shades.

Probably. There is a metal piece you screw on each light outlet after putting the globe on. 4 of 5 of them were well fitted however one did not tighten well but would probably hold or you could use electrical tape to make it tighter. Also if you use energy saving lights you have to get the compact ones. Even then the globe is barely tall enough to cover it. If mounting facing down you will see the light bulb.

If you mean are they smaller than a regular lamp light bulb, the answer is yes. They are set in a small base. Hope this helps!! =]

Yes but not exposed to rain, sleet or snow, they start out dim and brighten as they heat up, you can use them, but I would suggest regular light bulbs, hope this helps, some !

Can't you use a lamp with the lights bulbs everyone is talking about. Thanks

Yes, they can. The bulbs (4 per unit) come separate from the unit when purchased. A standard or color correcting compact fluorescent light bulb will work just fine. We are not photographers, we are a prop compan y, and use these to light one of our large props. The warmer look is what we want as well. For the price, these are great.

You could use a light bulb, but it would have to be real small not much room between lamp shade

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.

Yes as long as they fit your lamps. I use them in my kitchen ceiling, recessed, work well.
