What wattage of bulb can this cover?

not sure. but the thing is really cheaply made, wobbles and leans to the side when installed and if it wasn't defective is still WAY over-priced

I have mine over a regular-size light bulb, not sure of the wattage- probably 60 or 100 watt.

There was no limit of wattage stated on the package. I generally use it with a 75 watt bulb, and have had no problems.

I tried a 60w regular bulb and might have been able to get it in but it would really be tight and I was afraid I might break it. A higher wattage bulb might work if it has a longer neck.

I don't know. I am currently using a 4 watt nightlight bulb instead of the 7 watt recommended though.

Since I've only used 60W and the new ecological bulbs, I don't know know. Sorry

Hello, I called Square Trade and was told they do cover everything, except the bulb. I hope this information was helpful.

A higher wattage bulb would void the warranty. The heat might melt the plastic. carlights4less

I have a 60 watt bulb in mine, but it says it can take up to a 100 watt bulb max on the lamp.

Not sure on the max, but I have had a 120 watt incandescent in there with no problem. Currently, I have an LED bulb that puts out equivalent light at a much, much lower wattage.

60 watts max. I don't think it would be safe with a hotter bulb due to non venting. You could use a brighter pigtail type lamp though.

We use a 40 watt, candelabra base bulb. We got ours at Target, so it was no problem.

I'm not sure, but it covers a regular circular box that one would use for a ceiling fixture. I used three of these on boxes that were somewhat dated and it worked fine. It is really too far out of reach for me just to go and measure. Regardless, for the price these units cannot be beat. I use CFL flood lights and they work really well.

Hi Benita, best way is to remove the bulb and get the nameand watt amount. Then search the Internet.

You can use a regular bulb whatever wattage you choose. I'm using the curly shaped energy-efficient bulbs.

A lot depends on how high the bulb is. Obviously, if it is only 3 feet from a work surface, it will about 36 square feet. If it is higher, it will cover more, maybe double or triple that. The other variable is the lumens or wattage of the bulb. If you are reading , you might want it closer or higher wattage. If it is just general background lighting, you can get by with less wattage or lumens.

I am not sure about the wattage but it is the 17 inch bulb that goes in it. There shouldnt be very many that will fit it.

Not very much....I used the bulb in an aluminum reflector. Best guesstimate would be that the bulb covered a 2 foot by 2 foot section. But, be warned - this bulb appears extremely dim.....but it seemed to help out the seedlings I planted. Hope this helps.

I used a 150 watt bulb without a issue. By the way, you can get this at Mennards for a lot less.
