1. Can one put a 300W halogen bulb in this lamp instead? For now, 190W pvd. equals 25W. (2) Is the bulb easy to fix?

On the light it says,"replace bulb only with same style typet bulb rated max 190 watts." However, we are very happy with the light as it has a dimmer switch and when all the way up is quite bright.

`I don't think using a 300w bulb is a good idea. I think if the lamp were made for a 300w bulb it would come with one. In my research shopping for a new lamp I was trying to replace a 17 year old 300w lamp and discovered no one makes a 300w lamp anymore. Apparently they were deemed a fire hazard. I had 2 of them and never had a problem. I would not buy this lamp if you can purchase one locally. I could not find an inexpensive one locally as Home Depot & Lowes no longer sell them. The 2 I had were from Home Depot.

You can use a larger LED or CFL bulb. You just can not exceed the total lamp wattage of 150 watts. So if you added 2 Philips 100 watt EQUIVALENT LED bulbs it would be fine because the bulbs do not actually use 150 watts of power. Your only limitation is the size of the bulb.

I haven't tried that. The lamp I used it on had one 25w small base incandescent bulb. Good question. I'll have to look into it.

No the total wattage is not 100 watts...max wattage is 100 watts per bulb for 300 watts max

My TV had the same problem. I decided it didn't probably matter and bought it. However, Amazon a actually sent me the wrong model of lamp, which didn't fit in the tv. I ended up taking the new lamp apart and putting the bulb itself in the old lamp. It was quite easy, just a few screws. Regardless, I still think the p does not matter, especially because many sites seem to use the two interchangeably. I'd say buy it.

60W is the maximum. However, I use an LED globe bulb for this fixture with 350 lumens and the light is just outstanding and bright, but only consumes 5W. It doesn't heat up also. This bulb is really a good find for this lamp, I'd highly recommend it Triangle Bulbs T90020 (Pack of 2) G16 Decorative Globe Light Bulbs 300 Lumen 5-watt LED Light Bulb with E26 Base, Color 3000K, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

Shouldn't have a problem with the install. Put a set in about 2 months ago and they still work great. I believe when I installed them it said 22w on each of the ballasts, website says 50w per set. Either way it's less than the 35 watts that each halogen bulb uses.

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 would put a new Bulb with more wattage in it. I have the 11 inch salt lamp and that one comes with a 40W bulb..It feels hot, but I can touch it..Although it is Very heavy for me. Over 22 lbs!..

The lamp is halogen (lamp type determines the conversion ratio) . So, the conversion is approximately 20 lumens per watt. I don't remember the exact wattage of the lamp it came with. It is probably 190 watts (you may check it in the instructions it came with). It is, therefore, about 3800 lumens.

When I purchased this item (over a year ago) it was a true 75 W halogen bulb, not one of the "cheater" types that are lower wattage, but claim light utput of a higher wattage.It has a good, bright light with excellent color rendering.

I have regular lightbulbs in mine. I think it is up to 60W. I love my lamp!

I had the same problem. I took the lamp to Home Depot and tryed bulbs. I used a 25 watts 120 volts R14 Mini Reflector Frosted Incandescent Light Bulb, Intermediate base. I think it is also called an E17.

I never kept the product because mine came broke on delivery. How ever Halogen lights can get warm and go off but not every 10 minutes, something is wrong with your light to make it over heat that quickly. Did you put a higher walt bulb in it by any chance? That might account for the problem otherwise you got a defected one contact them. Hope this helped Good Luck Shari
