The description shows the lamp is 150w. max. Can i use 42watts CFL which is equivalent to 150w on this lamp?

I used two of these lamps in my home when staging it to sell. I used a 42-watt CFL bulb in each one and kept them on for hours at a time, and there was no problem -- no excess heat, no sign inside the shade of any burning, no issue with the socket. And by the way, this lamp really is as good as the other reviewers say -- it's a very nice piece for the money, and the light it gives off is warm, even and pretty expansive. With the CFL bulb it takes a minute or two to fill the room with light, so give it time.

Yes. I originally used a 42watt CFL bulb in and it worked fine, however it was too bright for the room so I switched it out with a 23 watt CFL which is equivalent to 100w incandescent.

Surely you can. Any labled wattage (actual wattage) under 150W can be used.

I believe that is what I have in is. As long as it is standard thread I don't see a probem.

Yes!!! if ever you consider buying this lamp, I'd really recommend using a 100W equivalent CFL bulb. It worked best for me in terms of lighting (that is, if you want your light to be bright but also very relaxing for the eyes) and this bulb, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient.

Hello, max watts is 60 I think but you can use energy saving bulbs to give more power. It's a beautiful lamp but for a desk may give too much light around, which could bother your eyes. But... I think it could work.

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

I'm not sure if you can use a 23W CFL with that lamp. We are currently using a 14W CFL bulb in ours, and we've had no issues with it to this point. I hope that helps!

I have used 50-250 trilight bulbs in a similar lamp with no problem. I do not have a bulb that size at the moment to try in new lamp but I see no reason why you could not use one. I checked my lamp and there is no specifications to the maximum wattage. There is lots of room for air flow and the shade is open. I see no problem at all.

I haven't tried that. The lamp I used it on had one 25w small base incandescent bulb. Good question. I'll have to look into it.

As your lamp is for 60W, that means the maximum wattage...this bulb is only 12 watts. This bulb should not be used with a 'Three way switch'. I have switched out most 60W incandescent bulbs to 10.5W LEDs or 14W fluorescent's...

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.

Top light says "CAUTION - RISK OF FIRE, USE 3-WAY MAX 150 WATT TYPE 'A' BULB OR MAX 26W UL LISTED CFL BULB". Reading Light says "MAX 60WATT OR MAX 13W UL LISTED CFL BULB" Hope this answers your question! Linda

It is 60 watt max. The lamp has three settings so that each touch changes the amount of light output.

It comes with a 20W standard CFL bulb with standard sized base. There is a label inside the shade that indicates 20W max. I hope that helps.

The label on the underside of the shade says "Max 60 watt type A". I use a 13w CFL bulb (equivalent to 60 watt incandescent bulb). Great lamp. I use it everyday. The socket is for a regular size lite bulb not the small candelabra socket that a lot of lamps have gone to. Hope that helps.

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.

The warning label on the bulb socket states "Maximum 13 Watts" with a picture of a CFL Bulb below it, it's safe to say, no, most likely not.

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 have CFL bulbs in this light and have had no problems at all. Equivalent to 40 watts in each light.
