I need to kow what type of light bulb of 150 watt that will not generate heat with my torchiere lamp?

Question

I have tried energy efficient but because the lamp has a dimmer on it it does not work right and it looks like I am having a light show in my house because of the constant blinking. Any help appreciated.

Answer 1

An incandescent dimmer will not work with a fluorescent lamp, which I think is what you tried. I'm not sure about LEDs, if they will work with the dimmer or not. They are more efficient, but they still generate heat. You will not find a 100% efficient light source.

Answer 2

Wattage is directly responsible for heat. any 150 Watt lamp will put out the same amount of heat. Check the bottom of the lamp, or the fixture for a sticker that says what the max. watts for a bulb are.

There are L.E.D. lamps that will work with the dimmer. Expensive, but very efficient, and you will never need to replace it

Answer 3

Need to know what type of socket is on the fixture. If it is a double ended socket made for a halogen lamp, then only a halogen lamp will work. If the socket is a medium base that the lamp screws into (like an ordinary incandescent lamp used in most household fixtures), then a fluorescent self-ballasted lamp may be used.

Answer 4

Probably nothing with the dimmer. You can try to change the switch to a non dimmer. LED light bulbs put out no heat but are very expensive (don't know if dimmer will work).

Answer 5

.find a appliance bulb like the one used in a refrigerator , the manufacturer uses a vacuum in the bulb, that wont let much heat out. Reguler bulbs have a inert gas in them, cheaper to make, and that conducts heat to the out side.

Answer 6

try using a very energy effecient LED light bulb.

Answer 7

halogen bulb

Answer 8

a burnt one will do just fine lol
