Can this fixture bemused with a 100 watt ceramic bulb?

On the box it says to use only up to 75 watt when I went to petsmart. I don't know what this box says because I threw mine away. When I used 100 watt bulbs the lights blew in about 2-3 weeks every time. After I changed to 75 watts, it lasts for a lot longer.

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

Yes you can use incandescent medium based bulbs, but max wattage is 100 watt per receptacle.

Should be fine... But it is only 100 watts so can drive two 50 watt bulbs maximum.

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.

I would only use the maximum the lamps states. You might risk overheating and causing an electric short. The lamp is very reflective and should not need a 100 watt bulb.

The box says you can use a 100W bulb.I use a 60w cree led dimmable bulb in two of them.Just make sure it's dimmable or regular and not a three way.

If you mean normal incandescent 100 watt bulbs, of course not. I would assume you could use the same type fluorescent bulbs that come with the unit as they do not produce much heat. The key would be in the heat output of the bulbs. Normal bulbs would melt the covers, the fluorescent bulbs should not have any wattage limit as they should remain cool.

The fixture is fine because you can double it up if necessary. The bulb selection will be a bit trickier. I use mine for plants with 10k bulbs and it works adequately.

I have used a 100 watt in it for a long time and then I got a chrome played 75w bulb (totally worth it) which made the light not as bright due to the chrome. That's the last thing you have to consider with the high watt bulbs, will you really want to sit under it? It's so bright I get headaches from regular bulbs

The bulb is well hidden...although I don't use an energy saving bulb in this fixture. I'm sure it would be fine though.

fixture takes 3 bulbs each 100 watt max. I only have 75s and lighting is sufficient over kitchen table but there is recessed lighting also over my cooking area.

It's for bulbs under 75 watt so I would get the next clamp light up for a 100 watt

At 100W two of these should be sufficient but bathroom size and perhaps color scheme would be a factor in lighting effectiveness.

I just called CREE and the customer service rep told me that the 40, 60, and 70W replacement bulbs are ok for an enclosed fixture. The 100W bulb is not.

Oh, no, no, no. It is a four HUNDRED watt bulb. You need a proper fixture and a ballast.
