What is the light bulb watt allowed?

It depends on the shade you use. The socket will take a 100 watts BUT the shades determine how much heat you should allow. I use a shade rated at 60 W but only put 40 W in it. The new LED and incadescent bulbs will let you go brighter w/out the heat. These lamps are accents, not reading lamps.

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

I have 65 watt bulb in it, and I believe it accepts more than double that amount. It adds a nice mood lighting to my office, and all I add is a desk lamp, which lights my work surface. I think if you were to use the maximum wattage, it woul be enough to light a small room.

Our lamp came with 40 watt, which is just right for us. It is on a dimmer, so one can manage the brightness that way. I prefer to stick to the wattage provided for safety reasons, as well.

40 watt is the maxium. Please note standard size A bulb will be too big as the top will stick out. We are using 7 watt energy saver bulb that is shorter and it works just fine. Hope this helps.

You can use a heat bulb with this lamp, it just can not be above 160 watts.

You will need to purchase two light bulbs. We are now using standard 60 watts in ours. You may want to read manufactures suggestion first.

Yes, you can use this item without trouble cause the bulbs are made thinking in 55 watts. Regards.

I am pretty sure it has a 100W limit, and 2 regular 60W incandescent light bulbs will exceed the limit. If you use *dimmable* LED or fluorescent bulbs, or use 2 40 W incandescents, that would be fine. I am pretty sure the manufacturer says alternative bulbs are ok, so long as they are the dimmable kind.

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

I don't recall a specific wattage requirement. I use 40 or 60 watt bulbs. I usually just use one lamp at a time , but if I need more light I just turn on a second one.

You can use a regular bulb whatever wattage you choose. I'm using the curly shaped energy-efficient bulbs.

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.

The max is 100 watt and it uses a 3 way bulb. I am extremely pleased with these lamps.

60 watt max. I use a 60 watt led bulb that only used 10 watts. I added an inline switch so i don't have to use the pull cord. Does the job. This set up works great for me.

It takes a standard light bulb. So you can use any ordinary bulb you would use in a lamp. I believe up to 60 watts.

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.
