Exactly how many bulbs screw into the light fixture? One? And what is the maximum light bulb that can be used? 60 watts? I need lots of light!

I had the fan installed by an electrician. I never even unpacked it, so I never saw the bulbs. However, I did save the instructions, and I quote..."Install two-13 watt (max) bulbs (provided) into the socket." The fixture provides plenty of light. We use it to light up our front porch entryway, year round. Hope this helps.

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.

The label says you can use a max of 150 watt type A bulbs. I am using 72 watt clear Halogen bulbs and they put out plenty of light. It is NOT a 3-way lamp.

Hi. I looked at my lamp that has 3 bulbs and it says max for the fixture is 660 watts. I use dimmable flourescant 24 watt lights. I am using it with alarge drum shade over the dinning room table and 1 bulb would not be nearly enough light even with a 100 watt bulb. You have more options of light levels with a3 bulb fixture unlessyou are using a small shade in a small area

small (2" tall) Type A clear utility bulb. Maximum 60 watts. Mine is 40 watts. I think it's like fridge bulbs. Love this lamp!

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.)

Love the light... I would say if you put in 60 watt bulbs you would be fine (I have lower wattage bulbs in mine...as it is in a hallway).

Hi there! we used regular 60 watt bulbs -- you can also begin to use the new LED bulbs if you take out a loan! But we just used regular bulbs in this fixture thus far. It was hung in a home I renovated for sale, which is under contract to close now. Good luck and it is a great looking fixture!

We have it over our kitchen table. It has two 60 watt bulbes. We have plenty of light.

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.

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.

1 bulb, I think it was 60 watts, I use the fluorescent bulbs, have 2 of these in master bath and they work well.

I have 60w bulbs in mine. They do give off a lot of heat, but didn't feel 40w would give us the light we needed in the area we have.

It uses 4 60-watt bulbs. Four of them are very bright, so I installed a dimmer switch too. That way, I have bright light when I want it, but it looks very romantic when I turn down the intensity.

Our electrician installed (3) 75 watt bulbs. We have two of the fixtures in our bathroom and it provides plenty of light.

I would use 100W light bulbs at the least if no other light source is available. Also, the light you use must NOT be of the flourescent type. You only really need the required light around the Chrony ;^)

we use a 60 watt bulb. I started out using a 45 but just tried 60 because the 45 wasn't light enough. No trouble using a 60 watt.
