Product description states E26 base but it isn't
Was very excited to use with my Philips Hue bulbs. They won't fit inside the dome, nor will a standard
A19 bulb. The socket is NOT an E26 as the product description and several reviewers say.
The base is an E12, or Candelabra base. It holds the type of bulbs that go into chandeliers, mini-fridges, and nightlights. These let out FAR less light than most standard bulbs will emit. While there is no standard, most 'normal' bulbs give off ~600 lumens, but can easily go as high as 4000-6000 in a 60 watt base. Candelabras typically give off ~350 lumens. This changes the placement and use of the lamp as well. This is NOT for lighting up a room, but as an accent or to lighten up a corner.
I fully understand the confusion amungst the buyers, but am pretty unhappy with Rivet's incorrect product description as this was a waste of time and money for me and I would not have bought it if I knew how it worked. Specifically looked for and asked about the E26 base before buying. Not ok.
