I have many of the older 48" bulbs. Can I use any other bulb besides the 32-watt T8 lamps

No, only T8. You should like the T8s better - they're easier to install/use, more energy efficient, smaller in diameter, seem brighter.

Nope, I'm sorry but it really has to be T8 48". You can check out this one, it's what I'm using for this fixture and it's been working great ever since. Hope it helps! (Case of 10) F32T8/SP41 Linear Fluorescent 32-Watt T8 FO32 741 Light Bulb 48"

Hello, I just bought a standard 40 watt bulb. It says you can use 40 watts or less on the inside of the lamp. Hope this helps :).

Dear debbie 60 is the maximum wattage you can use. I've used florescent lamps anyway. Good luck

Hi Ian, I haven't tried using another bulb with it. I think as long as you use the same type I don't see any reason why it would not work.

Yes you can but you might shorten the life span of the 35w bulb, sometimes there is a slight color change since the temperature will be slight higher.

No I believe they are for T5 fixtures only. The bulb is very small in diameter making the end pieces different than that of a larger bulb. However T5 fixtures are very energy efficient and cheap to buy. Several available here on Amazon or home improvement centers. Any T5 fixture of the same length will work.4 foot fixture in this case.

No, you can use any type of T10 bulb, which are about 4" long, tube shaped incandescent. I use a 40W as I don't like the brightness of a 60 or 100. But you can use any wattage you want.

Of course you can. I'm actually only using a 40W equivalent LED Globe bulb. It's feels cozy and I love it. Also, I highly recommend this bulb for pleasing lighting and durability. Hope it helps!

I see your confusion, but yes these are 4' (48") bulbs. The shipping size as the actual size is slightly less than a full 48". The wattage, 54W, is the same as all other 48" T5HO bulbs. 24" high output bulbs use 24W per bulb while the 48" normal output bulbs use 28W. Plus a google search of FLT5464 in the name pulls up multiple other websites also saying they are 4'. Just make sure your fixture is high output.

We used LED 100 watt bulbs and they work wonderfully. I think you can use anything you want as long as the can unit it attaches to can tolerate it.

You can use three way bulb. I use reg bulb. Doesn't need special bulb. I love my lamps.

Yes :) All you need are two fluorescent tube bulbs. 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.

Sure can. I have four 60-watt equivalent bulbs in mine right now. There is plenty of room inside the globes...you could even put larger ones in there.

That depends more on the lampshade you choose. A bulb with a standard base fits in it. I used a 40W bulb because that's what was safe to use with the lampshade I chose.

Note sure exactly, but I had no problem so far. Just a suggestion, tho. I'd really recommend that you use these fluorescent tubes.

Hi Mili, You can use any bulb you'd like and I chose the local low wattage as I am using it for my side yard. the bulb can be replaced. Hope this helps!

Yes, you can use this item without trouble cause the bulbs are made thinking in 55 watts. Regards.
