I recently just purchased a desk lamp and put in a CFL bulb of 13 watts. After doing this, I noticed the box saying to use an 11 watt max for CFL bulbs. Do I need to run over to the store and get another bulb, or am I probably fine?
Thanks all for your responses. To answer Guru’s question, it takes both regular and CFL. It says the max for regular is 40 watts and the max for CFL is 11.
Each lamp uses an 11W bulb, so it shouldn’t use too much power, right? I’m attaching the lamps to a center piece, and hanging it from a ceiling fixture. I’m assuming desk lamps don’t have a ground wire, but then again, I’m not too familiar with this sort of thing.
Thanks.
I’m not kidding at all.
I’m going off to college next week. About 4 weeks ago, my older sister gave me an Alsy desk lamp. It’s got two cup-like cylenders and a shallow dish-type one, a bendy neck, and needs a 40 watt bulb. It comes with a power cord, but the perplexing thing is, right next to the power cord another cord is attached, a gray one with an internet/phone line connection head, you know, the rectangular type with metal bars on the end and a plastic lever on top. I plugged it into my laptop, but nothing happened. The only thing it came with was a tiny pamplet saying how great it is and the cleaning instrctuions, repeated in Spanish, and its website, www.emessdesign.com. I couldn’t find the lamp on that website. So, I’m left perplexed. Why the blazes does my desk lamp have an internet connection cable attached to it?
Harder still is desciding what topic this would go under :-/.
P.S. Nothing on the box about it. I did find another pamplet inside, but all that says is notes, safety instructions, cleaning instructions, Made in China, and for Data port set up
1. Connect incomming broad band Line (A) from Base into the high speed Internet Jack.
2. Connect Line (C) from the computer into the high speed Internet Jack (D) on the lamp base.
3. Plus Lamp into wall outlet
Still clueless to its purpose.
