Has anyone upgraded the bulbs to a bigger size? Would the 85 watt or 100 watt bulbs work?

I upgraded to 120 watt for two of them and they worked find. Not sure what rated for but did not seem to overheat

These bulbs are approximately the same size as traditional 60w bulbs. If your current bulbs are the smaller 40w incandescents ... there might be a size issue. My advice would be to purchase the Crees, and even if they didn't fit ... you can always find other 60w bulbs in need of an energy-efficient upgrade!

I haven't, but the sockets appesr to be standard size, so I am pretty sure you could put any standard size bulb in them.

My experience is that if you put a higher watt bulb in you run the risk of damaging the lamp. I would stick with the two 35 watt bulbs.

yes I purchased the LED bulbs and we really like them. The output is great for us. I don't know if it is actually equivalent to a 100 watts. But I would purchase more if needed

Find one with a higher wattage equivalent, they work but not as bright as i would like. I also need to keep one of the original bulbs in the circut. (7) LED & (1) regular filament bulb. If I didn't bulbs would constantly flash. Has to do with Malibu transformer voltage regulator.

It's at the high end of wattage, but yes. However, 100 Watt Incandescent bulbs are being phased out in favor of flourescent bulbs and may be hard to find. More typically, a regular bulb would be 75 watts or even 60 watts.

I have used several different bulbs. A regular 60 watt bulb fits fine. An energy saver bulb fits also.

I'm of the opinion that new is better than old. If the bulbs are inexpensive(read cheap) they probably are. I left the lamps in that came with them and will use the old ones if the newer burns out. Upgrade if you desire more brightness.

I am sorry I took so long to answer but the email got lost in the shuffle. I haven't changed the bulb yet but I did try to change it on an older model and never succeeded. This model might be easier to work with. I am sorry I can't be of more help but it seems to be trial and error.

As long as the bulbs are not over 35 watts.Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any questions.Sincerely,Briana

I've had very good luck with mine, and no issues. Be sure to use dielectric grease on the connections before installing the bulb. Its possible a lack of grease along with thr high wattage could be heating up the connection and shortening the bulb life. Use a plain paper towel when handling the bulb. Oil in even the cleanest skin can shorten bulb life.

i don't think it came with any bulbs, we put our own in. I think max is 100watts. We put in 3 75 watt.

Mine came with 8 watt bulbs. I don't believe you are supposed to use an higher than that. The lights are fantastic and I highly recommend them!

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
