How far does 100W view? I'm planning to make a small lamp for my first diy hobby thing.

No good answer to this but it is at least as bright as most any single car headlight you have seen.

I mounted in my backyard, at the height of 10' it's so bright that I can paint my car with at night, this type light is more practical for outdoor use, I wouldt use it indoor or up close. Hope that answer your question

This more like a flood light than desk lamp. It will hurt your eyes if you look at. It lights up a room at work that is 20 feet long. If you use a shade or a diffuser, you might be able to make a small lamp. You will need a good heat sink and maybe a fan. It gets pretty hot with the optional power supply kit. You might want to try smaller wattage LEDs first.

Not long enough. You need rechargeable batteries and a charger. I put a high wattage bulb in my usual lamp and bought a "pharmacy pole lamp" from e-bay which swings over right above my project from the other side (no shadows from my hands) and a regular around the neck magnifier with no light.

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

IT TAKES NORMAL 40 OR 60W BUBLS. IVE NEVER HEARD OF THE kind you mention...BUT ITS A GOOD LAMP..

mine was super bright almost blinding but i got rid of it cuz i couldnt grow anything with it i went back to hps and mh as for the power draw mine was around 90 watts

I think you will be fine. Easily 2X3 feet. As a previous reviewer said the higher the greater the coverage. The reflectivity of the inside of the lamp is great. I believe it supports a 100 watt bulb. I use a 13 watt CFL that equals a 60 watt old fashioned bulb and it is more than enough to read by for geriatric eyes, in my other lamps I require a 100 watt bulb.

It's a very simple project....it is a rather small lamp....yes, here is some minor work involved..

Seems to me you'd want more than 45 watts. (I actually thought torches were used for stained glass, until I started shopping for a soldering iron.)

10W * 100 LM/W = 1000 Lumen (but this does not account for dispersion etc.)But, let's say current draw yields only 6 watt, and let's say efficiency is less at the 90 LM/W, then this gives 540 Lumen. A 100 W incandescent (bulb that is becoming obsolete) is about 1200 Lumen.To really account for dispersion of light and other factors, divide each of these Lumen by about 4. Incandescent rates about a little above 300 Lumen.

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

No problem. If I point the lamp straignt down, I can get it to throw a 14" diameter circle of bright light. If I angle it to the side a bit the spot becomes an oval easily over 2 feet wide and 3 feet long. This lamp is a spot light that makes a great task light, but it doesn't contribute much to lighting a room. Without another lamp near by, there is a spot of bright light and not much else.

Let me add, you can go to hisgadget.com, call them and ask for the the number for their tech support for oxyled lamps. Then call that guy and ask him your question. It is possible they may have tested it or have a more scientific estimate based on battery capacity and power consumption. If you get to the right person they actually know their stuff.

The lamp was for my daughter's room and it's just a bedside accent lamp - not main lighting. If you wanted more light from it I would check at a home improvement store for a compact fluorescent or LED bulb that would give more light with less wattage and therefore less heat (you could probably get 75 to 100 watts worth of light for 45 watts). They have some now that give off a much warmer light than they used to.

The bulb it ships with is super dim, and I believe it's 75 watts. I've put a 100w in, but it's still not enough light to brighten a room. The light can be used for ambience only unless you're installing it in a very small room. My room is 12 by 20' for your reference.

100 watts is 100 watts. It's the amount of power the lamp is rated to sustain safely. The type of bulb doesn't matter at all. This bulb can be used, assuming that it physically fits. Many larger CFL bulbs are bigger than standard incandescents and will not fit in all lamps.They say "300 watt equivalent" to let you know much LIGHT it produces in terms of the incandescent bulbs you are used to, but it has nothing to do with the power rating of the lamp.

I believe for your application would be too bright if lantern was say hanging at eye level if you had it lower than your eyes and made a thin "shade" on 1/2 of the lantern ( I used the back of a note pad ) so light would only come out of the unshielded side instead of 360' might work and say on a bench or table behind you - once your eyes get use to the red it becomes fairly bright for for a single led

The instructions say to use 60W. I have the new 60W fluorescents and it seems a little weak. I'm thinking the instructions are for 60W incandescent and that you could go to 100W of the new fluorescents. I'm going to try it and see what happens.
