Our star lamps are all equipped with high quality ceramic sockets that use various common types of incandescent bulbs.
Keep in mind that a higher watt bulb will result in more heat. If you use higher wattage bulbs, take precaution; don't touch the lamp, as the metal housing can get hot. Keep it away from garments and curtains. I am sure this is nothing new to you. Any other table or reading lamp gets hot as well if you use strong bulbs. It just had to be pointed out here so we don't get in troubles. :)
