Does this fan actually put out enough power for the 100 watt bulb you are including? The maximum wattage listed in the details is 75 watts.

The bulb it ships with is super dim, and I believe it's 75 watts. I've put a 100w in, but it's still not enough light to brighten a room. The light can be used for ambience only unless you're installing it in a very small room. My room is 12 by 20' for your reference.

I am pretty sure it has a 100W limit, and 2 regular 60W incandescent light bulbs will exceed the limit. If you use *dimmable* LED or fluorescent bulbs, or use 2 40 W incandescents, that would be fine. I am pretty sure the manufacturer says alternative bulbs are ok, so long as they are the dimmable kind.

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

I believe this switch is rated at 1800 watts. As long as you fan is not drawing more than that, you should be fine to use it.

Interesting question. I have used 100 watt bulbs with this kit and not had a problem.

100 watts is 100 watts. It's the amount of power the lamp is rated to sustain safely. The type of bulb doesn't matter at all. This bulb can be used, assuming that it physically fits. Many larger CFL bulbs are bigger than standard incandescents and will not fit in all lamps.They say "300 watt equivalent" to let you know much LIGHT it produces in terms of the incandescent bulbs you are used to, but it has nothing to do with the power rating of the lamp.

It's for bulbs under 75 watt so I would get the next clamp light up for a 100 watt

Should be fine... But it is only 100 watts so can drive two 50 watt bulbs maximum.

Yes. 100 watts is the power used by a large light bulb. The converter is rated over 1000 watts. Start with low volume and gradually raise it. If the converter gets too hot to touch, turn it off and try something different.

I am using the 75W in a desk lamp that indicates a max of 60w. The LED bulb has very low heat generation and normally that is the problem. The only thing to be aware of is if the heat sink doesn't have some room for air circulation. There is almost no heat coming off the part of the bulb that provides illumination. Remember, the LED bulb draws and dissipates only 17w.)

I have used a 100 watt in it for a long time and then I got a chrome played 75w bulb (totally worth it) which made the light not as bright due to the chrome. That's the last thing you have to consider with the high watt bulbs, will you really want to sit under it? It's so bright I get headaches from regular bulbs

If the LEDs are dimable and total load draws more then 10 watts. (my ceiling fan with 3 LED bulbs dims but the one with only 1 light does not) *Guessing on the load wattage

An internal sticker says 9W per socket (total 27W). The item likely comes with 9W bulbs for this very reason. Although, I suspect that you could put older incandescent bulbs, so long as your fan can supply such high power requirements.

I just looked at the base of the bulb and it seems like it says 26 watts. Don't think that will exceed the maximum of your lamp.

I don't know. I used it with a LED bulb [100 watt equivalent] & had no problem.
