What light bulbs can I use in my IKEA lamp?
You can use any light bulb in your IKEA lamp, so long as the wattage value on your light bulb does not exceed the maximum watt value of the IKEA lamp.
To ensure your existing light bulbs are suitable for an IKEA lamp, check that the fitting matches and verify the maximum wattage.
Check the lamp's product details for our recommended IKEA light bulb types, such as E27 or GU10, which indicate the fitting size and type.
Next, check the maximum wattage of the IKEA lamp, located in the "Measurements" section of the product page. As long as your bulb does not exceed this maximum wattage, it is safe to use.
If you are considering switching to energy-efficient LED bulbs, read our guide: How to choose the right light.
