What do you use for the bulb? Any special lamp?

I used the following item, also from Amazon. (It suits my application just fine but it may not work for you. The bulb does extend out quite a bit from the reflector but I think that's always going to be the case with this bulb.): Bayco SL-301B4 8.5 Inch Clamp Light with Aluminum Reflector with Grip-Tite Super Clamp

We have only used incandescent bulbs with our lamp. If there is nothing in the guide I would contact the manufacturer. Hope this helps.

Hello, I just bought a standard 40 watt bulb. It says you can use 40 watts or less on the inside of the lamp. Hope this helps :).

You can use any light bulb you would like. I love this light, i have had it over a year and a half with no problems,

standard 60 Watt light bulbs can be used. I have had these lamps for 2 years and they look just as good as the day I bought them. Perfect addition to any tropical themed room.

Standard bulb fits... just don't use 100 watt because it will "melt" the lamp!

Hi. No the two I am using - and like - have a base like a regular bulb that you would use for a table lamp. I don't know the technically correct name for that base.

It's a special bulb, which can be replaced. I'm am still using the same bulb that came with the lamp. About 4 years now, I believe.

I have the exact lamp. It uses a Type B bulb with a blunt tip. Maximum 60 watt bulb. GE and Phillips have these bulbs.

No you cannot use a regular bulb because it's deadly to reptiles, and in this model you need a special light bulb, look for it in related items. Hope I helped

You could use a regular bulb. The clear cover over the bulbs is plastic, so I would not use a bulb that will melt the plastic. The pole is aluminum and the base is plastic. Looks nice and works great. I use LED bulbs.

Illy-Den, can you tell me which specific halogen bulb to use? The previous bulb was a standard incandescent dimmable and I have been without the use of this fixture for months trying to find the appropriate one.

It's a special bulb but you can use a standard square base bulb from a hardware store. It's not a perfect fit right it off the box though. I had to file off two small plastic ears on the bulb base with a metal file to get it to fit properly in the socket.

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.

You can use regular Incandescent bulbs, but over time the heat will adversely affect the plastic for that reason so I recommend LED. The bulb holder is positioned such that the bulb is pointed to one side so use an omni-directional LED for better light distribution.

No special bulbs are needed. I just used my old bulbs. Kept the new bulbs in package till my old bulbs burn out.

You don't. There are no bulbs, just three rows of LEDs behind a bezel. These are not user accessible afaik.As the lamp is rated for 50,000 hours run time, that should not pose any problem.
