I recently bought a cheap torchiere (the one on sale last week at
Canadian Tire, for anyone who cares). It uses regular bulbs instead
of halogen.

But both on the box and in the instructions, it says "This lamp uses a
150W max 3-way bulb, do not use an A-19". Now assuming A-19 is a
regular incandescent bulb, this seems quite strange. I've never heard
of not being able to use a 60W or 100W incandescent bulb in a socket
designed for 3-way. Of course it's on-on-off-off but it would still
work.

Is it really possible these instructions are accurate in this case?
And assuming they're not, presumably I could also use a
mini-fluorescent?

Thanks!
