can I switch the bulb to an 8W LED? or is the 5W the highest capacity the housing will support?

It comes with 50w halogen gu10 bulbs so I would imagine that an 8w led would be ok. I don't remember seeing it having a 5w Led maximum and I just got some 45w and 25w equivalent led bulbs to install in mine. I'll let you know if my house burns down.

Not sure about the lumens capacity but it is probably the brightest regular bulb on the market. LEDs may be brighter though.

I haven't looked into that yet, but intend to, as I was unable to find an LED bulb for the light, other than 25w. It is very cumbersome to change bulbs on the light!

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.)

This fan will accept a maximum 60W a15 incandescent bulb, also will accept LED bulbs (you should be able to get higher lumens at safe wattages compared to an incandescent) with standard bases.

Not 400 W incandescent! However, an LED or CFL bulb with an *equivalent luminance of 400W* is probably OK.

I have a 60w equivalent LED in mine and it works fine. Provides plenty of light.

I believe 60W but I have a EcoSmart 60W Equivalent LED 800 Lumen Light bulb (uses only 10watts) that's in it now and its works great!

Sorry I said yes. Actually you have to change the bottom of the bulb holder which hold bigger bottom. You get them at amazon. I did that and I am using any watts I want.

I didn't know before I read the previous answers which I found very helpful; also, I am assuming that I can switch this cfl bulb with a 60 watt incandescent bulb. I found this very helpful.

No. The 150W is the maximum. It is a safety issue as a 150W bulb gets very hot. A 40W bulb should be fine. I put a 9W LED bulb in mine and it works great.

Check the product specs for this item at Amazon; this lamp takes a 100w 3 way bulb. So you can't exceed 100W. I'm using only a single 6w bulb in mine and it's fine.

I am using a 40W equivalent LED bulb and it's actually good. I highly recommend it, too, because it doesn't heat up (which makes it safer to use), and it's really energy efficient. The lighting is brighter and pleasing too, compared to the others I've tried. Hope it helps!

The bulbs will handle 55W but no guarantee on longevity as we highly suggest to use 35W HID Conversion kit system.

Not sure what the max is (sorry) but I use 40 watt led bulbs (5 required) and it's perfect

75W is the maximum. I suggest you check this bulb that I use particularly for this fixture, it works really great: Triangle Bulbs (Pack Of 4) 8-Watt (65-Watt) BR30 LED Flood Light Bulb, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,
