It takes an E27 lightbulb (not included) maximum 60w. You may choose to use a 'reflector bulb' to achieve your desired light effect (not included).

* If used in the USA/100/110/120v we recommend using an energy saving/LED bulb. E26 bulbs should fit although because they are 1mm smaller you may need to completely turn the bulb to ensure it makes contact with the fitting.
