can you use a halogen bulb which uses 72 w instead of an incandescent bulb?

I don't know, the unit stopped operating. No light, no fan, circuit breaker is not popped so I am perplexed.

I'm not sure, but don't see why not. Is there a reason you don't want an incandescent bulb used? If you use the squiggley bulb, it may not fit.

I don't know...but in my 679 the fan wouldn't work off of the provided wiring, so I plugged it in to a 3 way plug plugged into the light plug-in receptacle (figure that out!). Because I had both the light and the fan on one wire I wanted to cut down on the power draw, so I used a 65 watt equivalent LED (15 watts ?). This also took care of any heat problems. Halogen bulbs are even hotter than incandescents (I think), and if you don't like florescents because of the mercury, think LED. Hows that for a round-a-bout non answer.

Actually, I'm not sure. The light diffusing cover is plastic and maybe a halogen lamp might prove too hot and damage or melt it.

I wouldnt use the 72 watt bulb. I currently use a 75 watt equivalent LED bulb which is holding up ok and gives a nice white light.

I have 60w bulbs in mine. They do give off a lot of heat, but didn't feel 40w would give us the light we needed in the area we have.

I am not sure that LED bulbs are interchangeable with Halogen - best check with manufacturer

Yes. We have been using one in a surface-mounted glass lensed fixture for some time with no problems. There is less heat build-up than the 60W incandescent lamps they replaced and they are much brighter.

We use regular 60 watts clear light bulbs, b/c the bulbs it came with were too low. Be careful though, b/c with the 60, the crystals on the lamb might get too hot and melt.

Yes I am currently operating the same lamp with a 300W Halogen bulb installed. Alot brighter . Has been installed for months now. Hope this helps.

Yes, you can use an LED bulb as long as it fits within the parameters. The info lists: E26; Watt - 25W (60W Max). That means the LED must use less than 60W (which is very easy, the are almost always very low wattage), and it must have a standard base. It won't look at pretty, but will still be functional.

ya but i wouldn't i would turn it to 50% aka 299 watts and tbh...if i was to id try to hit 75% aka 432 watts for slight over clock but IT WILLL REDUCE BULB LIFE EITHER way you been warned

Yes you can use incandescent medium based bulbs, but max wattage is 100 watt per receptacle.

No. A maximum of 75 Watts is permitted. R30, BR30, PAR30L, and PAR30LN bulbs only. You may also use the equivalent LED bulb, but no heat bulb.

It depends on the shade you use. The socket will take a 100 watts BUT the shades determine how much heat you should allow. I use a shade rated at 60 W but only put 40 W in it. The new LED and incadescent bulbs will let you go brighter w/out the heat. These lamps are accents, not reading lamps.

Will work but reccomend instead a Cree LED bulb. I have both and feel the LED bulb is much much closer to the incandescent light output and is aesthetically more natural than the flourescent style bulb. Both are energy efficient and extreme long life.Check equivalent output carefully. 18W LED and Flourescent bulbs produce different amounts of equivalent outputs (something like 45 and 60 Watt incancescent equivalent). As bulbs fail I am replacing with either LED or Flourescent prefering the LED for hard to reach and replace areas--- supposedly longer life.

Yes,it can accept a 60w or 75w incandescent bulb. It also can use fluorescent bulbs. Just remember that all these bulbs sit higher up in the sleeves than the spot lights and remember the lights shine down and not across the area. This is a spot light fixture!!!!!

The mfg.. said you can use a standard 100w bulb. Bulb max rating of 100w is pasted on the side of the switch case. Or you can buy a 3 way bulb rated as 100w-70w-30w at a big box home supply store.A thee way bulb rated as 30w-70w -100w is available. Check out one of the big box builgding material stores.

Yes. The old style incandescent lamps rated at 65 watts meant 65 watts of POWER.The 65 watt equivalent LED Lamps give the same approximate amount of LIGHT as a 65 watt incandescent lamp but only use around 10.5 watts of power. A fixture rated at 60 watts was limited by the amount of HEAT it could withstand safely, which in your case is the heat created by a 60 watt bulb. The LED lamp only produces the heat of a 10.5 watt bulb so your fixture will be safe to use this bulb.

Not with my new LED setups. 11W = 65W bulbs are not turning off like with the Halogen bulbs... Still trying to find a way to make it work.

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.
