can I put this bulb in an ordinary lamp? I would like to point toward my bird cage - but of course keep at least a foot away from the cage

It would work, it is only 100W which is less than some light bulbs. Just letting you know it does get very hot so keep it away from anything that could be a potential danger of melting. And you don't want to leave it on all day like previously mentioned,I use it with a temperature controller that will shut it off when it reaches a certain temperature.

Don't think so it gets very hot and the holder is made of porcelain not medal like a lamp

No,you will need a domed lamp,you can get them on line for around $8,the heat emiter gets HOT,the heats is directed by the dome,any pet supply usually has them,use a thermometer to watch the temp your aiming it at,they are designed for reptiles

Yes, just make sure its made for higher heat levels. It uses a standard screw in socket. Like a light bulb.

You can use a regular bulb whatever wattage you choose. I'm using the curly shaped energy-efficient bulbs.

Sorry the bulb didn't fit my lamp. So it is useless. I should have returned back to amazon but I was so busy I didn't return. I still have it but not sure what to do with it because cannot be used for any of my lamp.

Not a standard 25 watt lightbulb but a smaller aquarium bulb style would fit. However, I would try to keep with a smaller wattage or use fluorescent bulbs as the heat from a 25 watt bulb may be a bit much. There isn't a lot of room for the bulbs and heat dissipation may be an issue. I use a compact fluorescent with mine and have great success with plants and have sufficient lighting.

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.

Yes, but you should use a dome or clamp type lamp. The bulb should be mounted either vertically, facing down or horizontally.

I guess it depends on how hot...a regular incandescent bulb is no problem, but anything hotter than that might be suspect. Have you checked the Wells Lamont website? Sorry about that...

Use use the bulb in a fixture designed for the top of a fish tank but my husband thinks that yes it would fit into standard fixture

I purchased a 60W T bulb. Because of the material the shade is made out of, I wouldn't go with a regular light bulb. But that's just me, I'm sure a lower watt regular could work. Hope that helps.

I wouldn't think so. We currently use an old Edison lightbulb in it because it has a cute, vintage effect. However, as long as the LED lightbulb can fit within the cage and screw into the regular sized input, I think it would be fine. I know some LED lightbulb are really large, and some are the same size as a regular bulb. You should be fine!

Yes you can. I have standard 60 watt bulbs in mine. They give off more mood lighting. They look great!

I would not put in a touchier lamp. Too much lamp brightness. Putting this in a ceiling lamp is more appealing and useful. I would not put it into a lamp that confines it either. That would make it to directional.

I don't really know. However, the lamp states that the bulbs must be 60 watts or less. I use ordinary bulbs or those newer energy-saving "curly-que" ones. I notice that in my closet I also have some that look like regular bulbs but says "modified" partial spectrum 60 watt that I wouldn't be afraid to try. I would probably feel the same about the lightbulbs you are referring to as along as they are equivalent to 60 watts or less with the standard size screw-in bottom.

no, that really depends how strong of a bulb you are placing in the lamp. hope this helps.

I don't know what you mean by portable lamp. I can tell you that this bulb has a standard sized connector, but it is a VERY large and heavy bulb. It will not fit into some shop lights I have because the base is too fat. Don't expect it to fit into anything other than a bare socket.

Sorry I returned this lamp due to shipping damage, but if memory serves me yes you can use a smaller CFL bulb in this fixture equivalent to a 100 watt incandescent. Hope this helps out!

Hi. No the two I am using - and like - have a base like a regular bulb that you would use for a table lamp. I don't know the technically correct name for that base.
