10w bulb?

Thanks, but it is for an existing lamp. She doesn't consult me until something doesn't work...

You can buy the touch dimmer as a kit and install it in your existing lamp.

Go to a commercial electrical supply house (where electricians go to buy supplies) and tell them what you want. They can probably fix you up with an appliance bulb or something that is 10 watts.

Since most low wattage bulbs are candelabra base, you could get an adapter that's pretty cheap that screws into the standard base and lets you screw in a low wattage candelabra bulb. Added bonus is that there's more color and style choices in the candelabra style bulbs. You can get

I've had it for over a year now and as a bonus, it is very cheap to use and it produces very little heat too.

I bought it at Lowe's.

Hi, Then you can buy low wattage bulb the size of golf ball, clear or soft white. The sensor lamp stand won't cost much either. Maybe 20.00 for one. Tony

I've never seen a 10W, but they do make a 7 1/2 watt that fits a standard base. Just about right for a night light. Ed snipped-for-privacy@snet.net

Display case lamps usually have a standard base and are low wattage.. The ones I have seen were long and kinda 'hot-dog' shaped..

I think the smallest appliance bulb I have seen were 15 watts. I could be wrong on that..

I don't know about a kit, but I have a 3 way dimmer that just screws in the socket of table lamp then the bulb screws in it, and a long screw makes contact with the outside of the socket which is the conduction touch if the base is metal. Otherwise you just touch the socket. Of course it makes the bulb sit about 2 inches higher. I think the three touch positions are 1/3, 1/2, and full. Some stores still sell them for about 8 bucks. If Toller can find a 10W he could easily find a 15 W and certainly a 25 W, which at the lowest setting would give 5W or 8W. However these would actually be much dimmer than a 10w bulb. Ha, my wife didn't like it so now it sets inside a desk drawer.

Thank you all. I will have to start calling some electrical supply houses. (Hopefully I will do better than with the 240v/30a switch with pilot light I was looking for last year. No one in town had one or would order one.)

Other here had some good ideals but you may just want to use a 15 watt refrigerator and Oven light bulb and they are cheap and sold everywhere. You may have to pay for that less 5 watts.

You may be able to find one of those screw in adapters that have a 2 slot outlet on it. Then you can plug in a regular night light with a 7 watt, or

You can try looking on these sites. You may have to go to an electrical supply house and buy a medium base to candelabra adapter (Porcelain is recommended) and use a candelabra base bulb in the lamp.
