Can you use a 150 watt fluorescent bulb? They are usually a little larger than the old bulbs. Thank you!!

I also use 2 150 watt incandescent bulbs. Tried CFL bulbs but the light was not too bright on either settings.

Hi Mili,You can use any bulb you'd like and I chose the local low wattage as I am using it for my side yard. the bulb can be replaced. Hope this helps!

I just used 65 watt bulbs and they are fine. I'm sure you can do 75 watt bulbs.

You should be able to use up to a 60 W incandescent bulb. The limit is imposed by a thermal overload built into the fixture housing. If you need more light, I suggest you use a compact fluorescent or LED.

Mimi, I have 40 wt. regular bulbs in mine. Do not know if we can use the new bulbs. I tend to stay with the older, unless told not to. Hope that helps. Joan

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.

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!

You can use up to a 150 watt bulb is what the manufacturer specifications are according to the spec sheet that was sent with this set. I am just using 100 watt bulbs, and they are very bright, so I didn't feel the need to use a 150 watt bulb. With a 100 foot string and light sockets every 10 Feet, you will find the area you are using in will be quite lit up.

The instructions say to use 60W. I have the new 60W fluorescents and it seems a little weak. I'm thinking the instructions are for 60W incandescent and that you could go to 100W of the new fluorescents. I'm going to try it and see what happens.

I see no reason why you cannot use a cfl bulb. Just make sure the wattage is no more than 40.

I don't use regular bulbs any more. I have been using CFL's For quite a few years. However I have never used more than a 60 watt bulb for exterior lights since my lights are mounted vinyl siding.

Note sure exactly, but I had no problem so far. Just a suggestion, tho. I'd really recommend that you use these fluorescent tubes. It worked best for me in terms of lighting (that is, if you want your light to be bright but also very pleasing for the eyes) and this bulb, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient.

Yes, this one takes a *regular* (large base) bulb. I sure wouldn't use anything bigger than 60 in it .... not sure what it's rated for, but 6 bigger bulbs would be overwhelmingly bright! I use 40 watt bulbs and that's plenty.

No. The 150W is the maximum. It is a safety issue as a 150W bulb gets very hot. A 40W bulb should be fine. I put a 9W LED bulb in mine and it works great.
