Bought this to go along with a new swag light I had purchased (that hangs over our couch) I wanted it for reading vs use of the 8  pot lights (seriously too many pot lights the original owner installed) ... what I like is that the bulb shines a warm light vs bright white BUT I was not really paying attention when I ordered it... I bought the lamp and bulb at the same time and chose the light based on the system recommended automatically by the system... turns out this is 60 watts when light could take up to 100. If I were to take a “mulligan” on this I would search for the 100 watt version of the same light! I strongly recommend if you need a 60 water!
