What is the total depth of this lamp? I am looking to use a 6" long CFL bulb. Would the entire length of the bulb be accommodated by the reflector?

Without taking a tape measure to it, I am going to say "I doubt it", because the bulb that came with it looks to be about 3 inches in length, tops. My spacial orientation has never been good, though, so please read other responses. All my grow lights are currently on, therefore too hot to measure at the moment.

The total length is 4.75". From the base to the top of the bulb which is how much the bulb will extend from the light fixture it is 4". Hope this helpsDavid

I use a cfl and it works fine. I think the "traditional" bulb for this lamp is more indirect, but the socket is a standard size, so you should be able to screw anything into it.

Hey, I know the answer. My husband and I made a beautiful makeup mirror for my aspiring niece for Christmas. She was ever so surprised when we gave it to her. We added just 3" around a mirror that we bought and the 4 bulb light bar fit perfectly. The light bar is made very well and is very secure and shiny around the mirror. We bought daylight CFL bulbs for a bit of money, but the effect is stunning and true. Go for it!

I'll have to measure my lights, but that sounds pretty close to the overall distance from lens to lamp socket so depth would be determined by how for you want them to stick out past the mounting flange.

Hi Melissa - I am not sure because I did not personal try that size of bulb. I was just doing a customer review on the lamp. I would suggest you contact the actual company who is selling this product and have them answer your question. Sorry

Without taking down the light fixture in the garage ( my garage ceiling is about 14 feet high), I would say the distance between each sockets is no more then 2 inches. I feel any normal compact fluorescent would fit, but the Eiko 81180 - SP105/50/MED would not since there is not enough clearance between the sockets. In addition I have the Utilitech 65-Watt (300W) Spiral Medium Base Soft White (2700K) CFL Bulb in another socket in a workshop and feel the weight of the bulb alone would be to much for the base. I would stick to something similar to 4 GE CFL Light Bulb: 26 Watt (100W Equivalent) bulbs for this socket, which ended up being more light then I expected. Anything more would not fit or exceed the weight the socket could handle. The socket base is just plastic and doesn't exactly fit very tight.

Yes, I believe it's large enough to hold a CFL, but not sturdy enough to support the additional weight. Even with a regular bulb, I found the top part of the lamp to be too heavy to stay in position once an ordinary (i.e. 60 watt) bulb is installed. I returned mine for that reason.

I never tried that with any 6-8 foot bulb, but for sure does work with any florescent lights. hope this helps.

It lenghtens the socket by a good 2 - 2.5 inchs depending on the light base you are screwing into the socket. I had to discard these as the lights stood out way over the edge of the shades on a floor lamp.

I don't have it with me here, but seem to recall about 1.5". It was enough to allow me to use a CFL in my older floor lamp.

The bulb is standard depth and 4 inches across the face. There are several size "small" can lights and some are too small for these bulbs. Hope this helps. They are great bulbs in case you would like to know. We are really pleased with them and have replaced all our can lights with them. Save money also on our bill.

I just put a ruler under it, and came-up with 5.5 inches.I'm using it, right now!It's not 6.5 inches, and Horowitz wasn't very stoked, at all.You should buy this lamp!

The ones I got were 6" deep with no cover. So you could put in longer bulbs but they would stick out.

Greetings! 51 inches when bulb portion is flat at 45 degree angle, just as pictured here. The neck is so flexible (and sturdy), tho, that I can position lamp to point much higher--at ceiling when I want it as background lighting that works well for a25 by 20 room. Angles at any angle for reading or other tasks, too. Tammy Mae

The bulb is in an outdoor lamp post @ our other home, so I measured the space inside the box it came in. The length where the bulb fit in is 2 3/4 inches, so the bulb should be no longer - it may be a quarter inch shorter. The total box is 4 1/8 inches tall. Hope this helped.
