Can the cover handle extreme heat from 150 watt bulbs?

I am sure it can. The whole thing is made of sturdy metal. Nothing plastic that will get damaged.

Your lamp should have a label on it stating what is the maximum acceptable wattage. Using a wattage higher than recommended could be a serious fire hazard, especially with a halogen bulb. It could even cause glass to shatter violently in some fixtures since these bulbs generate a lot of heat. Be sure to check for the label before installing a higher wattage bulb, if you can't find the label stick with the 190 watt bulb.

I used a 150 watt bulb without a issue. By the way, you can get this at Mennards for a lot less.

It should, but be aware that it's a 65w bulb and if it is enclosed, it might over heat. If it just in a "can" receptical with an open front, it should be alright.

The bulb base is extremely hot, it's more of a safety concern than a heating issue for a tank, but at 2gal , I wouldn't be surprised if it heats your tank.

You will have more bug than you can shake a stick at if you use higher than a 25 watt!!! 60 watts lite up the hole campground. lol We love our light but he had to buy our bulbs twice on this account love our 15 watt ones!!!

Hi. I use a 28 watt florescent bulb, which is the same as a 60 watt. But I don't recall any limit. With the open style, an no building up of heat, I think it is safer than most.

Only a 15W, 120V Bulb can fit into the space for the bulb.I don't believe they make a 40W bulb that small.Even 15Watt bulb gets pretty hot in there and it is plenty strong.

I do not know for sure because we use a 100 watt chrome mirrored bulb which works very well to light the whole area. The bulb can be gotten from Amazon in different sizes, not sure about 150 watts, but it is not needed. the bulb is very pretty, the inside 1/2 is mirrored so you do not see anything besides the mirrored portion and it sits deeply into the shade so you do not see it unless you look for it.

I would say no. The individual LEDs of the bulb are exposed to the elements.

Likely the same coverage. The bulb light coverage on goes so far down as the bulb's tulip. I do not notice any heat from the bulb. I can touch it after several minute on with only a very faint warmth.

No, I don't think that would be safe. The housing is plastic and it has a warning for a 40 watt bulb max.

Not sure on the max, but I have had a 120 watt incandescent in there with no problem. Currently, I have an LED bulb that puts out equivalent light at a much, much lower wattage.

Probably not recommended as the housing is plastic. 100 watt bulbs might melt the housing. They are plenty bright with the 55 watt bulbs. They are fog lights, not driving lights.

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.

Yes and yes. As long as the cord is adequate for additional wattage and lamp can handle additional heat. Check lamp for a label that defines max watt bulb...

Yes, Just don't exceed 150 watts per bulb. I'm using 2 different types of LED bulbs in mine and everything works really well.
