Can you have a mogul lamp socket with just the center bulb?

Why yes, yes you can. --Wtshymanski (talk) 14:48, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not all "moguls" use "moguls"?

[edit]

I've seen at least a dozen of these lamps, and my brother has three of them. Only one of them used a mogul-based bulb for the center lamp; the others had a standard, medium-Edison base, 3-way bulb for the center lamp. All of these lamps were/are over 50 years old, and none have been modified.

Which leads me to ask, are these really called "mogul" lamps? Most of them don't seem to use mogul bulbs.

And shouldn't there be some mention of these non-mogul "mogul" lamps in the article?

The correct term for these lamps is torchiere candelabra lamp or torchiere floor lamp and not "mogul lamp".
Mogul refers only to the base size of the center bulb in some of them. See, for example:

The article should be renamed.
Better, it should be merged with the "Torchere" article, and the spelling of the article title corrected:

article seems surprisingly good/interesting

[edit]

I just stumbled on this article, and it seems surprisingly good/interesting... But I do now also have to wonder how correct it is.-73.61.15.81 (talk) 23:01, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
