It states the maximum wattage as 100. Is that 100 watts total, between three bulbs? Or 100 watts each (i.e. 300 watts total)?

It's 300 total. I strongly advise a dimmer wall switch . We like this light a lot with a matching black drum shade.
1532637
It is is total of three hundred watts between three bulbs. However I put in a dimmer not knowing it only works with incandescent liters or halogen and ow it is not as bright as I wanted. Also I thought there was an upper cover within the shade to protect against bugs and was disappointed that there was only the bottom cover.

I suspect it is for each bulb. With a drum shade the top is open and any heat dissipates. I'm using mine with led bulbs which are very cool to the touch. I love this fixture.

Maximum wattage per bulb is 100 for a total of 300 watts. This fixture is a good buy.

i have used three 100 watts and haven't had a problem. i did have a couple broken when i got them though. i think they say not for sale in the USA because they are not allowed to sale them here anymore. I feel it is a shame we can't have the bulbs we want and like here. Mine do not say NOT FOR USE IN THE USA. Someone is getting a nice kick back making us use these newer bulbs that are horrible looking and working. i hate the way they dim after a bit of use and they are just plain awful. I am not an expert of course, but i think they say not for sale in USA because of the reason i gave above.

Hello Scott,I wanted to double check before replying. Maximum wattage is 40 per bulb, hence a total of 120 wattage per lantern. Also, we live in a very rural area and it's very dark so we purchased two of these lanterns, one regular and one planter style. It does brighten the area up considerably and they are set on dawn to dusk mode so for the past year we have not had to replace them yet; I personally wouldn't mind things a bit brighter and may look into the newer 40 watt bulbs that actually give off more light or lumens when we replace the bulbs. The lantern itself is a quality product - would recommend. Hope this was helpful. Hello Scott,I wanted to double check before replying.

There was no limit of wattage stated on the package. I generally use it with a 75 watt bulb, and have had no problems.

3 way bulbs up to 150 watts 1 pull 75watt- 2nd pull 100watts- third is 150 watt

Unfortunately no, 60 watts max. is recommended, but I have been using a 100 watt bulb without any problems.

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,

This fixture is designed to be used with bulbs that don't generate heat. This is why it's mainly used with fluorescent bulbs. I personally use 85W Fluorescent bulb and it's equivelant to 300 watts. That's perfect for this type of fixture.

Interesting question. I have used 100 watt bulbs with this kit and not had a problem.
1228132
In looking back at the description of the lamp, I found: Lamp Is for the single wattage bulb (100w, 150w), it is not for 3-way bulb.

You can use up to a 150 watt bulb is what the manufacturer specifications are according to the spec sheet that was sent with this set. I am just using 100 watt bulbs, and they are very bright, so I didn't feel the need to use a 150 watt bulb. With a 100 foot string and light sockets every 10 Feet, you will find the area you are using in will be quite lit up.

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".

You can use up to 100 watt but I use 75. These are beautiful lights and they look great outdoors. I have been so happy with them at the front door and around the garage door. I thought the price was great but they look very expensive. Very glad I found them.

Max watt per bulb is 54 watts, so 8 x 54 is 432 total watts. Not sure what bulbs are shipping with the unit.
2074236
what watts are the bulbs used for this lamp? Is it 60 watts a shade, 100 watts ...?
927751
Yes, these fixtures are rated for 100 watt max. I have installed all LEDs in mine to minimize having to replace the bulbs very often.
