I don't know what possessed me to think I could go into a home supply type store and find exactly the bulb I needed. I had seen the shelves that went on for miles in that store of bulbs of every kind and thought I could find the exact one that my circa 1980 style floor lamp required.I spent some time with an employee who matched my old bulb to one that looked right, and it snapped off when I tried to insert it into the two little pinholes in the lamp that take the bulbs prongs. I had to use tweezers to carefully pull out the broken off prongs stuck in the lamp.
I saw the numbers on the old bulb, came here and sure enough, found the exact bulb that lamp takes. I'm sure there is no other in the world it could use. That other bulb was identical, but the prongs were ever so slightly wider than the prongs on this, and when I pushed a bit harder to get them into the tiny holes, the prongs snapped off.
That lamp was made to use only this bulb. It's a gorgeous modern lamp. I had thought I would have to dispose of it. Amazon to the rescue again. This came lightening fast also.
I paid $6.99 for shipping from this Amazon seller, which seems a bit high.
