I bought a new lamp and it needs a “Type S” bulb. What’s that? Do they come in energy saver?
I recently purchased a new lamp that requires a “Type S” bulb. Could someone explain what exactly a “Type S” bulb is? Additionally, do these bulbs come in energy-efficient varieties?

A ‘type S’ bulb is a standard incandescent light bulb, but with a slightly smaller glass globe than a typical household light bulb.
At this link below, you can see the types of bulbs….on the top row, third from the right, it shows what the ‘Type S’ looks like.

Now, you should find on the lamp, how many volts, watts, etc it requires. You can use that information to find the correct bulb here –

Usually, there is a number designation after the letter… like S 6, or S 11. This tells you the actual diameter of the bulb, and will make it easier to find a replacement.
Energy saver bulbs like CFL’s use a coil of glass tube… this coil is usually LARGER than a standard incandescent light bulb. The Type S bulb appears to be smaller than the more common Type A, which is used in most light fixtures. I have my doubts then, about finding a CFL to fit your lamp, without knowing how the lamp is made with regards to the shade, etc.
Good Luck
