Hello,
I just bought a Tiffany lamp, and it says that I need to use two
75W Type E27 bulbs. What I want to know is, will a regular 75W light bulb, like a GE soft white, work, or do I need to buy some special kind of bulb to fit that socket? I think the E27 refers to the kind of socket, if I am correct? Please help if you can, as I don't really know anything about all these different light bulbs, and who goes with what!
Thanks

As above, and also the 75 watts should be regarded as a maximum and not as a requirement, lesser wattage lamps such as 40 watt or 60 watt should be fine, but do not exceed 75 watts per lamp.
