60 watt or 13W max. CFL bulb is the highest you can use in the reading lamp.

don't know. but, i have noticed this lamps base is not heavy enough to support the lamp when placed in certain positions.

The lamp has a warning label that says the bulb may only be a maximum of 190 watts, so a 300 watt bulb would violate the manufacturer's safety instructions and could very well pose a safety risk.

I tried a 60w regular bulb and might have been able to get it in but it would really be tight and I was afraid I might break it. A higher wattage bulb might work if it has a longer neck.

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.

I have regular lightbulbs in mine. I think it is up to 60W. I love my lamp!

I think it is a little high. The lamp is not very heavy. A simple screw or nail will hold it up.

Carlos, It is strong enough to hold a 5 ounce LED lamp bulb with no problem. A standard bulb weighs only about 1 ounce. REW.

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.

The socket flares upward and it accepts the standard sized bulb, the ones with the base of the same shape and size as good old regular 60W incandescents. But the lamp itself is wired for 13 watts, and the LIFX says that it can draw up to 17 watts. I hesitate to suggest overclocking the lamp by 17 when it's built for 13. IKEA, if they're prudent, built their lamp to cope with a bit of overclocking, but...the prudent consumer doesn't absolutely rely on this.

Sturdy? Not sure what you mean. The base is heavily weighted, so that lamp won't knock over easily. The parts of the lamp aren't flimsy, so are unlikely to break.

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.

Not sure what the max is (sorry) but I use 40 watt led bulbs (5 required) and it's perfect

Yes , you can if it fits. The power (watts) that the bulbs draws is 60 watts, so it is well within the maximum rating for the lamp, as you said it is 150 watts.

This one has three levels of brightness with a single wattage bulb. I have a 40w bulb in it and would say it is maybe 15-25-40 at the three levels. The label on the lamp specifies not more than 60w or risk of fire, so this one is probably not for you. HTH.
