the price of one bulb is more than both of the lamps

Can we just use any shape bulb or does it have to be candle?

I cancelled it as fast as my fingers would go, am off to Tesco to get the halogen ones for £3 each

Please let me know how you get on with them.

Cancel it quick :-)

If you can buy some cheap normal / halogen bulbs from Poundland or somewhere else (I have put R50) would be best way to see if the Led bulbs are the problem or the lamp. Then again , whilst looking for bulbs myself I found this:

Q 6: Do LEDs work in touch lamps?

A: No. Unless the lamp has trailing edge dimming. It would be best to consult the manufacturer.

and this
DO I NEED TO USE A SPECIAL DIMMER FOR LED DIMMABLE BULBS?
Yes. LEDs use very little power compared to halogen bulbs. While this is good news for your electricity bills, it also means they will not work properly with your existing dimmer switches and may lead to a shortened bulb life, a lower light output and a buzzing sound. For an optimum performance, you must use trailing edge dimmers which have lower minimum loads and are designed to be used with LED bulbs.


So this makes me think that best way is to use the halogen option for touch lamps...

Oh dear I have literally just ordered these

These ones... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bonlux-Dimmable-Filament-Incandescent-Replacement/=led+dimmable+e14

Has anyone had problems with there's? One of mine buzzes a lot and the other 1 flickers the bulb on 1 of the settings.

Am thinking of getting these for my elderly parents. Does anyone know if the touch on/off feature on these lamps perform well??

Wish they still had the taupe ones

Bought these for no reason and now I can't find a place for them in the house, we already have lamps in every room

But you can use any Halogen or any clear - Incandescent light as they are dimmable? If you want LED then they have to be specified as Dimmable.

What are the lowest wattage bulbs I can use on these please? The cheaper the better

Yes, will do nicely. I ordered some from Amazon;

Thanks a lot worked

Thanks

Does anyone know if just putting in a normal NON dimmable bulb to test the lamp out would damage it? Or does it mean to not use non dimmable bulbs for a long time - continuously.

​you're welcome

Thanks.

Can't get either link to page only to Tesco's mainwebpage

​mine came in one package

Same box.

Ordered these after ordering the last post. Fantastic item, 3 touch for different brightness , look superb. Thanks op

picked mine up yesterday. ... gorgeous!

Are there any other colours in this?

I blew up a touch lamp using an energy saving bulb.Does anyone know if a dimmable LED can be used as info is sketchy and says you shouldn't use anything but normal build including halogen

Thanks.

sorry bulb I meant the fitting is SES/E14 small Edison screw if that helps but be careful as you may damage the thyristor

Will philips hue bulbs fit in this?
