What is the highest wattage on the bulbs it uses?

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.

Sorry for my delay. I don't remember...I believe it was in the instructions. We used a 25 watt bulb.

Maximum wattage per bulb is 100 for a total of 300 watts. This fixture is a good buy.

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 don't know. I should research it as I don't care for the wattage. My bulb will probably last a long time because I don't like it. If you find one please post!

60W is the maximum but there is no need to reach that limit to obtain that beautiful light we want for our homes. This bulb gives off that beautiful light output with 350 lumens, but only consumes 5W. It doesn't heat up and it perfectly fits. This bulb is really a good find for this lamp, I 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,

There's a wattage limiter in the fan, which limits the maximum light bulb wattage. If you're handy with electrical devices, you can remove it and by pass the wires which will allow you to install a set of higher wattage incandescent light bulbs. If you do this, make sure NOT TO EXCEED 60-watt per light bulb with a maximum of 650-lumens because the light kit bowl is very fragile and will explode from the heat generated by any higher wattage light bulbs.

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,

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.

I seem to recall that the bulb supplied was 75 watt which may be the max. I use mine on a flag pole also but I use two fixtures in case one burns out. This gives me plenty of light.

I don't know. The directions say to use an incandescent. I use mine with a 3 way bulb on high. sorry not going to be much help with that question l.

Type A bulb; 3-way up to 100 watts. I did decide to keep lamps but purchased a lighter color shade.

100 W is the maximum, however, I wouldn't recommend that because that is too bright. This lamp looks better with just a soft white, but you are still able to read. I highly recommend this bulb: (Pack of 4) G25 LED Bulb 6W, Warm white, 3000K, 40W Globe Bulb Incandescent Replacement, clear Cover, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

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

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.

Not high. But I was able to put in a 300 watt without going against the factory remmonadation. I don't know why it ships with such a low wattage bulb. It works fine as a replacement to my older and nicer one.
