Why do your specs say 65 watt, and the description says 75 watt? Also, will this hold a standard incandescent bulb?

The whole point was to use LED bulbs which are supposed to last about 30 years.

I just used 65 watt bulbs and they are fine. I'm sure you can do 75 watt bulbs.

It will hold a standard incandescent bulb. I have fluorescent bulbs in mine and it gives off plenty of light. Have also used little spot lights.

Yes,it can accept a 60w or 75w incandescent bulb. It also can use fluorescent bulbs. Just remember that all these bulbs sit higher up in the sleeves than the spot lights and remember the lights shine down and not across the area. This is a spot light fixture!!!!!

I just looked at the base of the bulb and it seems like it says 26 watts. Don't think that will exceed the maximum of your lamp.

Additional answer: When it is noted that a bulb larger than 60 or 75 watts should not be used, it is because of the heat generated by an enclosed bulb, which can damage the fixture. It is not because of the wiring capacity of the fixture.

This lamp is too small for even a 60 watt bulb. I use a 40 wall and believe that is what is listed for max usage by the manufacturer

Yes, these bulbs shown are 85 watts which is over the power limit. These brand of bulbs are also made in 65 watts, so those would be ok.

Yes. The old style incandescent lamps rated at 65 watts meant 65 watts of POWER.The 65 watt equivalent LED Lamps give the same approximate amount of LIGHT as a 65 watt incandescent lamp but only use around 10.5 watts of power. A fixture rated at 60 watts was limited by the amount of HEAT it could withstand safely, which in your case is the heat created by a 60 watt bulb. The LED lamp only produces the heat of a 10.5 watt bulb so your fixture will be safe to use this bulb.

Incandecent bulbs have always incorrectly used watts to represent brightness. Lumens measure brightness. Watts measure the energy consumed. 17 watts is less than 60 watts. If your fixture is rated for 60w and you are using a 17w LED, you will be fine. I've used mine in a similar rated fixture for several months now. My house has not burned down.

Dear Thor, Thanks for your interest in our item. This item has Wattage: 10W/bulb (10W incandescent light bulb) Best regards, Astra Depot

while this particular part does not specify max wattages, similar parts specify 45w per socket ... as led bulbs are likely to be far below this i don't see any problems (i'm sure the manufacturer is simply trying to be clear that this part is NOT intended for high-wattage incandescent bulbs - and as these parts have been available forever - and as fairly bright LED bulbs are a recent development, the ad text probably has never been updated)

I know what you mean about Amazon information. While researching LED bulbs, I found a listing that showed a picture of a 90W bulb, but the information stated 75W bulb many times. Contacted seller and got a short reply that they are 75W! Amazon's customer reviews on these bulbs gave reviews on the TAHOE (4000K) and also on the HENDERSON (5000K). They're 2 different bulbs. I made a comment about this fact to Amazon. I think they have corrected the reviews that I commented on but their are many more that still are commenting on the Henderson model. Received ours on March 13, 2015. Can't say if we received an upgraded model,

I am using a 60w bulb; I can't imagine you'd have any problem with 75-100w.

I am not sure about the wattage but it is the 17 inch bulb that goes in it. There shouldnt be very many that will fit it.

My fixture is labeled for up to 100 watt bulb. Standard base. I have been using a 40 watt standard base incandescent bulb for accent lighting. This size bulb fits with very little space between the bulb and the back of the fixture if you were thinking to use any bulb that might be larger than the old standard incandescent ones.

I have bought several of these for my kitchen lighting, same as original, box states as does bulb, that they are 75W. And I have no reason to think there not. Been very satisfied with this hard to find replacement.

If your using 125 watt bulb its max would be 125 watts. If you use a 250 watt bulb max watts would be 250 watts. Hope this helps.

I have used several different bulbs. A regular 60 watt bulb fits fine. An energy saver bulb fits also.

my unit would not work right out of the package, duracell was not too keen on the warranty. my unit says it will handle 175w peak, and 130w constant, it should handle a 75w bulb.
