Title: Bought at the hardware store around the corner.
Product review: My bulb was flickering after 20 years of heavy use, and would only stay lit for 30 seconds, so I needed a replacement fast. I looked at Azn and found everything was going for 6$ or more shipped in a couple of days. I went to the hardware store around the corner and picked up a Westinghouse Halogen J-Type Double Ended 500W bulb for 3$ and it works perfectly. My lamp says use 500W bulb to prevent fire hazard. So I did. Many of the bulbs at Azn are only 300W. Good luck! Years ago I had one of these torchere lamps go aflame at the bulb. Fortunately, I saw it instantly - cut off the electricity swiftly, and the flame died that moment. It was a miracle? Probably, given what the light was shining on at the time! But that is another story. Nothing lights up a room like these, but they have the potential to be dangerous.
