There are many wattages of 3-way bulbs. What is the MAXIMUM wattage bulb this socket will accept?

I have tried them for 30-70-100 and 50-100-150watt bulbs. The higher wattage gradually degrades the cardboard insulator which becomes brittle in my experience. The lower wattage holds up better.JCK

My husband replaced the socket for a lamp where we use 50-100-150 watt bulbs; works perfectly

The label states that the maximum wattage is 100. But I use a 60 watt bulb, I like softer light, but it gives off plenty of light.

Personally I only use a 75-watt bult because that's enuf brightness in that location. Never used a 3-way bulb in this lamp.

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...

Probably not since it recommends 100W 3-way bulb. FYI, my 3-way simply does not work so I am just using it as a regular 100W.

Hi. You can not use a bulb that requires more than 13watts for each socket. You will burn out the socket.

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 use 60 Watt Bulbs no problem. I have been using the same sockets for 6 months and have around 15-20 hours AT LEAST on each. I wasn't able to find any label on the bulb itself or packaging that says what wattage it is rated for.

I would assume no more than 60 watts per fixture socket. Max of 4 sockets per fixture, 240 watts. That would be a solid guess. I no longer have these remotes, I installed them in a customers house. So I don't have access to the paperwork. Check the back of the receiver. It should be noted on that.

You can use it in a three way socket, but it will not work as a three way bulb. It will only light at it's full light level.

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.

Question was about a 3-way SWITCH (where two different wall switches control the socket), not 3-way socket. Yes, this bulb will work fine in a 3-way switch arrangement.

I don't know the maximum. I have a 100 Watt bulb in it right now. Have not had difficulty with that.

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 used the adapter for a 3 way bulb although it should work just fine for them. The adapter simply converts a mogul screw socket to a medium screw socket.

I put 40 watt bulbs in each of the 6 sockets & it is quite bright. I believe 60 watt bulbs I the maximum recommended. You will love this chandelier!
