Can I use this bulb in a goose neck student lamp with the lamp max 40 watt or the CFL max 13 watt? Can not afford the fancy lamps they sell

I'm using the FeatherBrite bulb in a 3 lamp floor lamp which is very similar in design to a student goose neck lamp. The fluorescent full-spectrum bulb will fit any "standard" light socket. The bulb sticks out a bit but for me that doesn't matter.

Yes but it is longer than the lamp fixture. So if you want to clamp it onto the side of a cage it won't work. Hope this helps.

I used these for 13 watt CFLs. They should handle 60 or 100 watt incandescents OK.Thanks....

You're putting a 40 watt bulb into a 60 watt outlet. You should be fine. With that bulb you will be pulling less watts than what the lamp can output.

It takes a standard light bulb. So you can use any ordinary bulb you would use in a lamp. I believe up to 60 watts.

I tried a 60w regular bulb and might have been able to get it in but it would really be tight and I was afraid I might break it. A higher wattage bulb might work if it has a longer neck.

Yes. I originally used a 42watt CFL bulb in and it worked fine, however it was too bright for the room so I switched it out with a 23 watt CFL which is equivalent to 100w incandescent.

These lamps use a GU24 bulb, which is a two-prong type of bulb. Very Expensive! About $7.50 each at Home Depot. I bought two converters on Ebay for about $1.25 (including shipping) that change it from two-prong to a standard screw in bulb. I plan to switch to screw-in CFL's when the current bulbs burn out.Not sure what type of LED you want to use, but this info. will get you started.

You can use this CFL that is 100W equivalent but only consumes 23W. It works great for me and the item is really durable. Hope it helps Triangle Bulbs 23 Watt - 100 W Equal - Full Spectrum 5000K - CFL Light Bulb - E26 Base - Standard Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb

If you are referring to the 55 watt T5 4-pin cfl you should be able to replace it as long as it has the same 4-pin connection and your lamp is rated to take at least 60 watt bulb. Just letting you know this is a 4-pin connection not screw type.

Our lamp came with 40 watt, which is just right for us. It is on a dimmer, so one can manage the brightness that way. I prefer to stick to the wattage provided for safety reasons, as well.

No, you cannot use CFL bulbs. However, it works very well with regular light bulbs.

Our unit is meant for 40w bulb. You can use CFL equivalent to a 40w reg. bulb.

Hi Joanne, I too ended up at Home Depot to try to get the right bulb & they no longer offered a replacement bulb for the lamp I bought there, so I rewired the fixture to accept a CFL. I have two of these bulbs & would be happy to ship them to you so you can try them. If they fit your application, send me something neat for Christmas & we're square. If they don't fit, you can donate them to the Goodwill, or ??? Thanks & Best Wishes, John

This lamp may not meet your desires. I use only the bulb that came with the lamp. A larger bulb may not be safe. J

The shade is meant to clip on standard bulb. CFL bulbs come in many formats so may not work. I used new led bulbs that do come in standard format. They draw 8.5 watts and give 75 watts of light. Electric company paid for half so the cost me $5.00 and tested to last 22.5 years. hope that helps.

Hi. You can not use a bulb that requires more than 13watts for each socket. You will burn out the socket.
