I am going to use 105W 5000K Bulb, is this one OK? if I keep bulb working 10 hours, the Light Stand will melting?

A 105 CFL will not get hot enough to melt. These units have a ceramic socket that helps keep things in check. I use mine with 85w CFLs for house and they only get warm. 60 seconds after I turn it off, I can unscrew the lamp. It's not that hot.

It should be OK because this unit has a ceramic socket...as others have mentioned I would keep it away from anything that could catch on fire. Good luck...

A 105w CFB should be fine as they produce significantly less heat than incandescent, halogen or the likes. And this particular bulb holder uses a ceramic socket inside it to deal with heat issues without melting, that's why I use them. But as always, YMMV.

no it won't melt if you use cfl 105 watts it's cooler, compared to the standard bulb but don't let the bulb near curtain or clothes that the time it would create heat but if you still in doubt try to use led bulbs

They purport to last 2000 hours. This current bulb has lasted a little over 1200 hours so far and it's in really good condition. Are you getting the "Replace Lamp" warning?

`I don't think using a 300w bulb is a good idea. I think if the lamp were made for a 300w bulb it would come with one. In my research shopping for a new lamp I was trying to replace a 17 year old 300w lamp and discovered no one makes a 300w lamp anymore. Apparently they were deemed a fire hazard. I had 2 of them and never had a problem. I would not buy this lamp if you can purchase one locally. I could not find an inexpensive one locally as Home Depot & Lowes no longer sell them. The 2 I had were from Home Depot.

Be sure the bulb is pushed all the way into the socket, and it is a 27 watt bulb. Mine gets very hot, but there are no signs of burning or melting around the bulb holder.

Note sure exactly, but I had no problem so far. Just a suggestion, tho. I'd really recommend that you use these fluorescent tubes. It worked best for me in terms of lighting (that is, if you want your light to be bright but also very pleasing for the eyes) and this bulb, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient. Hope it helps! (Case of 10) F32T8/SPX65 DAYLIGHT Linear Fluorescent 32-Watt T8 FO32 865 Light Bulbs 48"

Its a LED bulb that will last hundreds of hours - there is a super tiny screw at the base where the light bulb housed, but I would guess from looking at it the answer is no. I love mine!

Hello Patricia. I have an overhead kitchen light fixture that used to eat regular incandescent bulbs in a matter of a few months, then compact fluorescent bulbs also in a matter on a few months. I have two of these LED bulbs and they run much cooler. Be aware that they are not as bright but the glass enclosure does not get hot. I barely even gets warm. My answer is Yes.

You should not use more than a 60watt bulb. I had bulbs last3 to5 years.Bulbs can be replaced,they are regular house hold light bulbs . Thank You,Ken

Can you lower the lamp otherwise what I had to do was use two lamps to get the correct temperature. I also had the same problem as Gun Guy that my bulb only lasted a couple of months then melted to the fixture.

I use Westek 16 Watt 17" T4 Warm White Fluorscent FA200WBC. I think the bulb you mentioned above should do the job for you. I hope this answer is what you expected.

It's a beautiful lamp but it's plastic, so I'd really recommend if you use LED bulb because it doesn't heat up. I suggest that you use a 40W equivalent LED Globe bulb because it works best for me. The lighting is beautiful and relaxing, and this one, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient.

No. I see no sign of melting. The bulb is warm enough to touch and not fear burn. I'll keep an eye on this, and should I see otherwise, will let you know.

If it lasts five years I'll be amazed. The ones I bought in the stores only last a few months. So, I recommend this light bulb because I've had it for awhile now and it works like a champ.

I took it off and works fine. I think the temperature of bulb would melt it.

depends on the bulbs. heat lamp black lights will melt it. im using compact florescents that dont produce much heat. i would side on caution and say it would melt it

Hello:It all depends on your lamp shade base. The wattage used for the light bulb should be no more than 40. Any higher wattage used will damage the shade. If you need any further assistance, please contact us at 214-491-6991 Monday - Friday 9am-4pm CST.Thanks,WPIC Store

Replacing the bulb is a snap, just unscrew a little knob in front and the glass comes right off. I have a 20 watt cfl in there and it's been fine for the last 4 months without being shut off once. You could probably go brighter, but I like the softer light since it's right next to my door.
