You could use a fluorescent bulb that works in a standard lamp. I use a LED bulb in mine.

Yes, You can use any bulb that you prefer as long as it fits with the base, the fixture's dimension and the maximum wattage allowed. What I use for this one is actually an LED globe bulb. I love it because the lighting is very pleasing in the eyes. Bright yet cozy. Plus, it's really durable, high quality, and energy efficient. Hope it helps!

Seems to me A19 bulbs are incandescent bulbs. As I remember they run hot. So hot that if you have to change one I always had to let the bulb cool down. I use a CFL bulb and runs barely warm. I have been using the same lamp as yours maybe close to a year and never a problem. Try using a CFL or LED 60W bulb (less energy use and they last a long long time) and I think you will be happy. Sometimes my lamp will stay on from dusk to dawn. The lamp is a great quality lamp and I wouldn't hesitate buying from Boston Harbor. Just a thought!!!!!

According to the instructions it uses a normal incandescent bulb. However, I've never tried an LED bulb though. It might...

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.

I tried it with the fluorescent type of bulb and they flickered. It did work with an incandescent flood, but I wanted something that used less energy. So, I removed it and it is sitting in a box until I can figure out what I want to do with it--give it away or use it.

Only use CFL (curly Q bulbs) that are designated as "dimmable". LED and standard incandescent bulbs should work fine.

I see no reason why you cannot use a cfl bulb. Just make sure the wattage is no more than 40.

yes....I use florescent but any light bulb that will screw into a regular light will work.

Good question-I use the curled fluorescent bulbs which have the standard bases. Sorry if I can't answer your specific question.

I have one and it uses night light light bulbs. It looks really neat when a colored lightbulb is used. I have a blue one in mine right now and it is really pretty.

I use the Verilux natural spectrum compact flourescent bulb which fits like the previous incandescent bulbs. No problem, I like this lamp very much. Here is the link to the Verilux site if you are interested: http://www.verilux.com/compact-fluorescent-bulbs/compact-fluorescent/

Yes ad long you used incandescent bulbs Theae bulbs are the old fashioned bulbs. Please note this sensor will not work with the newer CFL or LED bulbs. And wiorks great like in a laundry room for example.
