it says 100watt but the manufacture says in a later description "60w maximum" .... is that what you used? is the bottom open to get to the bulb?

The bottom of the outdoor light fixture is open, so installing the light bulb is easy. I don't remember reading about the 100 watt, but the packaging said 60 watt. I was concerned this would not be light enough as my house sits back from the street quite some bit; however, the 60 watt is substantial enough for me since I have one on either side of my garage door. Just to let you know, the base of the bulb is standard size and I was able to get bulbs with the candle flame shape. FYI---I have 4 of these lights and have gotten compliments on them since they aren't the standard outside light fixture.

Bottom is open and I used a clear bulb so I cannot read the wattage. I think it is 60 watt. This might be the nicest light fixture I have ever purchased.

The manufacturer lists one 100 watt medium base bulb. The bottom of the fixture is open to change bulb.

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.

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,

I have 60w bulbs in mine. They do give off a lot of heat, but didn't feel 40w would give us the light we needed in the area we have.

up to 100W. I have a 60W bulb in it, and that's about bright enough for me.

Hi. I use a 28 watt florescent bulb, which is the same as a 60 watt. But I don't recall any limit. With the open style, an no building up of heat, I think it is safer than most.

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.

The set I bought are indeed 60W. But remember, a 60W "Edison" type bulb is not very bright (or efficient). But it does look cool.

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

I am using the 75W in a desk lamp that indicates a max of 60w. The LED bulb has very low heat generation and normally that is the problem. The only thing to be aware of is if the heat sink doesn't have some room for air circulation. There is almost no heat coming off the part of the bulb that provides illumination. Remember, the LED bulb draws and dissipates only 17w.)

someone else answered that the manufacturers spec says 660w. I use a 250w heat lamp in mine without real issue. what I take issue with is the switch mechanism. it does not hold up the way the fixture does as it is made of cheap plastic and does not seem to be replaceable in itself. my last fixture I used for about a year and a half without a switch, just loosening or tightening the bulb to turn on/off.

I cannot give you an answer. Going to the "contact us" on the manufacture's website is your best option.www.dlightdesigns.com I have seen the unit at the high setting. It appears to be equivalent to 50 watt or higher bulb. Hope this helps.

I notice that it says 45 watt on one of the bulleted blurbs. I think that is a reference and it is a 60 watt bulb. It does say 60 watt on the bulb.

Check the product specs for this item at Amazon; this lamp takes a 100w 3 way bulb. So you can't exceed 100W. I'm using only a single 6w bulb in mine and it's fine.

do u mean the power or not?this lamp holder is E27/E26 ,we suggest you max 60W incandescent bulb,but sure you can use higher power,but is not good for the holder life Thanks Jet

I'm not sure I understand your question, are you talking about the energy used or the amount of light produced.The package says the bulb consumes 60w of energy but puts out nearly 250w. I have two of these and I can say they are very bright.

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.
