What type of bulbs does this kit use? Are they standard base cfl? Thanks

The bulbs are really good quality CFL which I did not expect for CFL. It is a Soft White 225W equivalent using only 45W. Light output is 2600 Lumine at 5500 K. I had great performance with my digital but took a while to figure best flash configuration. The whole set of equipment is very good with exception that white backdrop is a little thin needing double-up (of course black/green backdrop was not a problem).

They are standard candelabra base bulbs. You can get them anywhere like Target or a hardware store. Just make sure you buy the ones with a small base as they are made in a larger base.

I use 40 watt bulbs in mine. The base is the same as standard bulbs, but they are shaped like a flame instead of the regular bulb shape.

Hi Julia -- I am not sure since I didn't get the light kit. Sorry. But I believe it is standard size bulbs. Sorry I don't know more info to help you.

It takes bulbs with E26 base. I most recommend that you use 40W equivalent LED bulbs for this fixture. It worked best for me in terms of lighting (that is, if you want your light to be bright but also very relaxing for the eyes) and this bulb, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient. Hope it helps! (Pack of 4) G25 LED Bulb 6W, Warm white, 3000K, 40W Globe Bulb Incandescent Replacement, clear Cover, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

It is an E26 Medium Edison base. The same as your standard incandescent bulb.

These bulbs have a standard base, called a medium base in the industry. There are three common types of lamp bases in use today: Candelabra base (small base used in chandeliers and decorative lamps), Medium base (the 'standard', most common type referred to here), and Mogul base (large base used for higher wattage bulbs for industrial/commercial use and not too common today).

The socket takes any standard bulb, but for photography and video you want CFL bulbs (Compact Fluorescents). I would recommend 45W bulbs with a color temperature of 5500k (5000k would work fine). Just search in Amazon for "45w cfl 5500k" (without the quotes). You'll find them for $6 to $12 a bulb, depending in part on whether you buy a set of one, two or four.

Yes an Edison base is a standard light socket. I used this same bulb in a 12v system in a cabin, and works great, much better than a cfl. Just funny looking. Very bright.

Mogul based bulb unit, but a larger one. as well as the CFL Bulb. Hope I helped you out.

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.

They use a regular base light bulb.We use 40 watt clear bulbs and I made a dimmer switch to use with them. The bulbs we use are about the size of an appliance bulb and are made for ceiling fans.

Hi there...I purchased a converter from amazon and now I could use any standard base screw type light bulb. Hope this helps.

We ordered the special bulbs recommended with the fixture.... I don't remember what they were exactly. They were not cheap, but I like them very much

That is the most common 'standard' medium base light bulb, the E27. Can you use "any" E27? The small LED may not draw enough amperage to make the electronics work. I used the sensor to control low wattage outdoor lighting and it worked fine.

These bulbs have standard bases. They fit my fixtures just fine, but several of them did not work.

A "medium base" should be a standard bulb base for all incandescent bulbs. This has that type of base. Its designed for outdoor security flood lights.
