What is the bulb size and the base size? What type of dimmer is recommended?

Actually, I ordered two different lights by mistake and ended up returning this one. The one I kept is the Bulbrite dimmable G25 LED warm white 2700K bulb. If you search by this description, I just entered a review on this bulb. I didn't actually mean to order the Verbatim bulb for exactly the reason you're asking - it was too hard to tell the size - but I put in it my basket and forgot it was there when I finally checked out. The Bulbrite gives a much clearer explanation of the size. As for the dimmer, the fixture I'm using the bulb in isn't dimmable. I may have paid a bit more for this dimmable bulb but I couldn't find one that wasn't dimmable that I liked. I was trying to match the typical "vanity globe" lights - they're referred to as G25. The bulbrite bulb will fit the G25 fixture.

Yes the light accepts standard base size bulbs so you can use LED's if you choose and most will be dimmable.

Standard incandescent (Type A) or CFL. It has a standard size screw-in base.

These screw into a medium lamp socket, just like a standard light bulb. They are about 6 inches by 3 1/4 inches, bigger than a standard light bulb, so the screw-in base looks smaller in the picture than it is.

The size for a standard 60 watt bulb. Don't forget all this is, is a length extender for a bulb. Works really well.

Yes, this one takes a *regular* (large base) bulb. I sure wouldn't use anything bigger than 60 in it .... not sure what it's rated for, but 6 bigger bulbs would be overwhelmingly bright! I use 40 watt bulbs and that's plenty.

I bought the 100 watt CFT lightbulbs. What dimmer works with it? Did I need to purchase "dimmable" bulbs?

Hi, thanks for posting your question. According to the product information available, this lamp uses (5) x 25 Watt Candelabra Base Bulbs or CFL equivalent. For future reference, this information is located to the right of the product picture on the Product Page. I hope this is helpful!

For the larger light I used a regular 40 watt bulb. The smaller light takes a 40 watt intermediate base bulb. I bought a 40 GE ceiling fan bulb and it works just fine. I think for the price it is a good light. JM

My husband said it came with a very small light bulb and he doesn't remember the base. I'm sorry he wasn't more helpful.

About 1.5". Definately not huge. Very average size. I would not recommend this for someone who has sight problems or plans on having it far across the room. Not obnoxiously bright and does have a dimmer option.

The base is 2 3/8" long and 1" wide. The stem is 1" in dia and aprox 1 3/4" tall. the light is aprox 2" in dia and aprox 1 3/8" tall. Over all height is 4 1/4" tall. It has a black wire and a red wire and is made of plastic. The bulb is not replaceable.

I think right around 5" to 6" (?? not much more than that...) We love ours (Installed above nightstands) Dimmers are perfect. Good luck....

This is the small diameter candelabra base - think it is meant to replace a 25 watt bulb not a 60. The light output is decent but dimming was not so great - best you can get is off, 1/3 power, 2/3 power or full power - not much in between. I ended up throwing this bulb away and using another brand

It all depends on how big the can is. The bulb is about 5" diameter at the biggest part - There are extensions you can get for the socket - like from Cyberguys - but then the bulb is lower and may stick out - even if it did I still like these - they work with dimmers - they are bright when turned up - and low power usage -

I am using regular incandescent 40 watt bulbs. FYI, I have this light fixture plugged into an adaptor (might be the wrong term) that allows me to control the light remotely and also dim them, they are above my kitchen counter, connected to a large beam. Excellent quality.
