Lamp FAQ
What is the difference between the LED bulb and the standard bulb?
There are 3 main differences between the bulbs - the LED creates a more black and white image (actual color varies between rolls of filament, which is the material used to make the lamps) rather than the more sepia colored tones from the standard bulb. The LED creates a brighter lamp which can be displayed in locations with a little bit of light, whereas the standard bulb works best in darker rooms (more of a nightlight). And finally, the LED should last for years. The standard bulb is a standard night lite bulb and will generally last between 6 months and a year in my experience.
One final note - the lamp has a standard candelabra (night light) size socket and the bulb can be easily replaced at anytime if you decide you wish to try a different type of bulb in the future.
Can I use a candle in it instead of the light?
This is NOT recommended because of the potential fire hazard.
Why do the lamps seem to have different colors/tints when lit up?
The tint of the lamps is mostly determined by the bulb-

I will also point out the lamps for some odd reason are often difficult to take photos of and get the colors correct. Modern phones tend to turn the LED lamps very purplish in the photos and the standard bulb very reddish. While they have those tones, they are much more muted in person.
One other small factor in the color is batch of filament (the material used to actually make the lamps). The dyes are mixed slightly differently at the manufacturer and results in a little variation between batches.
