It's designed for a 60W bulb, but is it compatible with a 60W (or even 75+W) LED bulb if the LED bulb has a standard fitting?

As an LED uses alot less energy you can put a much much bigger led light in it without exceeding the 60W rating. If you could find one a true 60W led would probably be something like a 500W equivalent. So feel free to find the largest CFL or LED light you can find just make sure that it's actual energy usage is less than 60W. Also it will need to be "dimmable" which alot of the cheaper led and CFL are not.

The manual says not to use a bulb rated higher than 60 watts. The light dims the bulb so you would have to use an LED bulb that is dimmable (but some dimmable LED bulbs require a specific type of dimming circuit to work and may not be compatible with this one.)

A watt can be thought of as an amount of heat. The lamp fixture can only handle the heat of a 60W incandescent bulb. If you look at LED lighting, they advertise the actual wattage, and the lumen output. A 60W equivalent LED is only about 13W, so you could use an LED bulb with a higher light output than a 60W incandescent bulb with lower heat.

These lamps take a 3-way bulb; mine currently have a 30/70/100. I'm sure you can fit a single 60W if you prefer.

What size is your socket? If a regular incandescent bulb fits, this should fit.

Yes, this fixture takes an E12 base which is your standard candelabra bulb. They make LED and fluorescent bulbs that fit this socket. You may use the bulb of your choice, just do not exceed the 60 watts.

Yes,it can accept a 60w or 75w incandescent bulb. It also can use fluorescent bulbs. Just remember that all these bulbs sit higher up in the sleeves than the spot lights and remember the lights shine down and not across the area. This is a spot light fixture!!!!!

We asked the manufacturer that question and this was their response:On behalf of the Minka Group we would like to thank you for viewing our product for your home. at this time this fixture is UL listed for 60W T10 med base bulb and we do not recommend using any other bulbs. Using a different bulb other then the one that is specified will void your warranty.We installed the product and used the bulbs specified above.

while this particular part does not specify max wattages, similar parts specify 45w per socket ... as led bulbs are likely to be far below this i don't see any problems (i'm sure the manufacturer is simply trying to be clear that this part is NOT intended for high-wattage incandescent bulbs - and as these parts have been available forever - and as fairly bright LED bulbs are a recent development, the ad text probably has never been updated)

Sorry but I don't know the answer to that, I got it to fit into an oddly shaped nightlight that I was having trouble find a replacement bulb for. It was the only one I found that works and it gives off slightly more light than a 6W nightlight bulb, I'm happy with it.

The best measurement I can get on it is about 4 1/2" to 4 5/8 inches long and slightly over 2" at it's widest point on the bulb. I compared it to a standard 60 watt incandescent and it is about 1/4 to 1/2 inch longer than the incandescent and just slightly narrower in it's bulb width. I should easily fit in anything a 60 watt bulb will but be just a little longer. Hope that helps.

I wouldn't recommend, this is an 85 w bulb, a great product though, I have bought several

Sorry ...... I am on vacation and cannot measure the socket adapter. I use it with 4 Phillips 60W LED Bulbs. The bulbs do not come close to touching each other. The only problem I had was with clearing the "harp". I used a screw-in adapter to lengthen the lamp socket so that the 4-socket adapter would clear the "harp".

Note the minimum wattage (60w). If you are trying to switch a single LED light it is almost certainly lower than this figure. I tried this with a "60 watt equivalent" LED which actually consumes 9 watts and it was unreliable and sometimes flickered when "off".

I am using the 75W in a desk lamp that indicates a max of 60w. The LED bulb has very low heat generation and normally that is the problem. The only thing to be aware of is if the heat sink doesn't have some room for air circulation. There is almost no heat coming off the part of the bulb that provides illumination. Remember, the LED bulb draws and dissipates only 17w.)

It has a raguler standered socket holder. You can attach any standered bulb. I'm using 6W LED equivalent o 60W.

I use 6 watt led bulb with no problem. Which is equivalent to 40 watt. Been using it for several months now works great! 60 watt should be just fine.
1065406
yes I am using a 5 = 60 watt led bulb in one .The adapter converts a candelabra bulb base to a standard lamp size bulb .It does add about 1 1/2 inch length to the bulb fixture so make sure your bulb will fit if it's in a globe though.

Yes. It only produces light equivalent of 65w and uses less and is dimable so as long as you use standard size bulb fixture it should work great.
