An LED bulb that replaces a basic bulb must have the same working voltage and the same type of fitting.
A 10.5 watt LED will draw less power and produce less heat than a 40 watt incandescent, but not all LEDs are dimmable.

On the inside of the base, or the bottom of the base, there should be information about the type and wattage of the bulb.

The wrong type bulb may not fit in the socket or the bulb may be too large and the top of the lamp will not fit properly on the base. If you get the wrong wattage, the bulb may not be hot enough or to hit to make the bulb function properly.
