I really like the look and the idea of the wicker lamp. However, I think if I was to get an outdoor lamp at all I would get a heated lamp. (I’m like that). The fact that these have a weighted base shows what my first mistake would have been. I wouldn’t have even given that a thought until a storm ruined everything.
Kelly,
You can use any style of bulb in this type of lamp. They are made more for mood lighting than for reading a book. I have an article on tabletop heaters that look like table lamps. They do provide a good amount of heat, very little in 5he way of illumination.
