We are currently using 60 Watt bulbs. Helps with light in our kitchen. The fan is really small though

Use small candle light size LED bulbs, you get 60w of light from 15w power, makes it very bright.

Yes. I have used both the 60 and 100 watt version of a CFL since I first bought this product.

I just used 65 watt bulbs and they are fine. I'm sure you can do 75 watt bulbs.

Hi Judith! I use a clear 25watt bulb in mine, and it puts out plenty of light. I dont think I would try a 40watt bulb. Where ever you decide to put the lamp, 25watts will be plenty. I have two in my bedroom. But in the other one I have a 15watt bulb. I hope I helped you out a little bit. :)

No, you can use any type of T10 bulb, which are about 4" long, tube shaped incandescent. I use a 40W as I don't like the brightness of a 60 or 100. But you can use any wattage you want.

The beam on the included bulbs is much more than 90 degrees.You can look around for different MR16 LED bulbs to find what you need. I use LED bulbs in these and they're fine --- rated for 50watts. I don't see why the housing would limit a 60degree bulb.

We used 60W light bulbs (one for each lampshade). We did not try the energy efficient bulbs but I'm pretty sure you can use them.

Standard 40 or 60 W bulbs would be fine but they need to be the shorter ones. We are using Utilitech pro LED. Clear bulb no lettering visible. Beautiful. Warm white, 25 W equivalent. Home Depot

I see no reason why you cannot use a cfl bulb. Just make sure the wattage is no more than 40.

I use 60 watt bulbs. Should last for at least a year or longer. Bulbs can be replaced. Product works.

We are using 40 watt decorative bulbs with a conventional base. I would think that LED would work.

You should not go over the 40 watt bulb that's recommended. You can try 60 watts but that would be at your own risk. You'll be pulling more energy and your bulb will burn out more often. What I did was, I went to IKEA and bought 7watt energy bulb that puts out 40watt of light. Or you can get 9watt bulbs that puts out 60 watt of light. These bulb are very energy saver. I understand the kitchen issue with the lighting, these bulb works wonders. Safes you in your wallet and safes you from a shorting that may cause a fire. I hope this helps you out.

I have a three lamp fixture that looks like a 75-100 watt incandescent. So to be honest, your 60 watt example would need two of these bulbs. They are also candelabra based (minny) designed for a chandelier or a similar styled lamp.

Yes, that should be fine. I use these bulbs everywhere in my house in place of standard 60 Watt bulbs

Never use bulbs with a higher watt than the fixture is rated for. I believe the light is only rated for 40 watt. It provides plenty of light.

i am not sure. if the the bulbs fits then sure. I used 60 watt bulbs - the 40 watt suggested was not bright enough. I will say that I love this light. i an using it in my carport and during the long winter days, it has been a life saver.

The manual says not to use a bulb rated higher than 60 watts. The light dims the bulb so you would have to use an LED bulb that is dimmable (but some dimmable LED bulbs require a specific type of dimming circuit to work and may not be compatible with this one.)
