im looking to use the 10000k bulb on this light, what is the maximum amount of watts this light can handle. can it handle a 54 watt or 39 watt?

If it's a 48" I think there stock with 54watt double check can't change wattages

To my knowledge the length of the T5 pretty much determines the wattage, does it not? A 4' fixture will use a 54w, whereas a 3' fixture will use a 39w.

I don't recall the make/model of lights we use on ours.But the manual I have says this for Bulbs: max 150 watt PAR or quartz flood lamps, PL fluorescent flood with low temp. start

40 watt is the maxium. Please note standard size A bulb will be too big as the top will stick out. We are using 7 watt energy saver bulb that is shorter and it works just fine. Hope this helps.

150 watt is the maximum. It says so on a sticker right on the lamp that I have. The sticker also says to use "type A lamp 3-way or smaller".

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.

I have used 50-250 trilight bulbs in a similar lamp with no problem. I do not have a bulb that size at the moment to try in new lamp but I see no reason why you could not use one. I checked my lamp and there is no specifications to the maximum wattage. There is lots of room for air flow and the shade is open. I see no problem at all.

You should use the 11 watts as the instructions say. If you use a higher watt, you could damage the light

I have 65 watt bulb in it, and I believe it accepts more than double that amount. It adds a nice mood lighting to my office, and all I add is a desk lamp, which lights my work surface. I think if you were to use the maximum wattage, it woul be enough to light a small room.

I don't recall a specific wattage requirement. I use 40 or 60 watt bulbs. I usually just use one lamp at a time , but if I need more light I just turn on a second one.

It requires a 40 watt bulb. I bought it for my husbands desk it gives off very good light and it looks very nice great price for a great product.

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'm not certain of the max wattage but I'm using a 25 watt bulb to light my keyboard area. I tried a 13 watt squiggly type bulb but it was too bright for my needs. Great lamp for the desk.

I use a 40 watt bulb, and it casts a nice warm glow. I have to warn you that I bought one for myself and one sent to a friend. Both lamps were very poorly packaged and cheaply made. I sent mine back for a replacement, and even the replacement was a bit damaged. I kept it; it's a good enough lamp for the price, but know that you may have to re-thread the lampshade or iron out some dents. That said, I've had the lamp for a while and it has performed well and if I turn the dented side to the wall, it looks pretty nice too.

60 watt max. I use a 60 watt led bulb that only used 10 watts. I added an inline switch so i don't have to use the pull cord. Does the job. This set up works great for me.

A 40 watt worked for me -- and I like dim lights to preserve the rods in my eyes. So, you must have a dud if the bulb is tightly screwed and there isn't any packaging blocking the electrical connection. My lamp was packed in a messy kind of paper and I used compressed air to blow all the gunk out of the socket.

I use 6 watt led bulb with no problem. Which is equivalent to 40 watt. Been using it for several months now works great! 60 watt should be just fine.

We have two of these in a 9 X 6 bathroom and they are very bright, probably equivalent to 100 watts each.The light appears to be more like 3500K rather than the claimed 3000K to me on the color spectrum. We ended up installing a LED-compatible dimmer and it worked out perfectly.
