can I use a 100 watt bulb in this lamp?

I was disappointed to discover that although the lamp was supposedly sized for a three way CFL bulb, you had to jam a typically sized three way and push the harp slightly to one side. Plan B was to try a single wattage CFL bulb. The gift was for my parents and I learned a few weeks ago that they had substituted the smaller sized, single wattage bulb (think they used whatever was in the house (60 or 75 watt CFL)) for the three way I put in initially. So far, they've had no issues.

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

You need to buy a bulb separately. Don't get a bulb that needs higher watts than the limit of the lamp.

Hello, I just bought a standard 40 watt bulb. It says you can use 40 watts or less on the inside of the lamp. Hope this helps :).

Interesting question. I have used 100 watt bulbs with this kit and not had a problem.

I am pretty sure it has a 100W limit, and 2 regular 60W incandescent light bulbs will exceed the limit. If you use *dimmable* LED or fluorescent bulbs, or use 2 40 W incandescents, that would be fine. I am pretty sure the manufacturer says alternative bulbs are ok, so long as they are the dimmable kind.

I don't think that it would. The original is a 100 watt fixture, and the bulb in question is a 250 watt bulb. That would require a different balast and other circuit components that could safely handle two and one half times the wattage. Wattage formulas would say NO. I would do more research before I tried it. Hope this helps.

We used LED 100 watt bulbs and they work wonderfully. I think you can use anything you want as long as the can unit it attaches to can tolerate it.

A quick conversion a 100w bulb would require just under a 20 watt LED.. The colors are not as saturated as a colored bulb but I'm sure you'll be happy with the LEDS.

No, a 3-way bulb will make no difference. I believe you can use a regular 100-watt bulb. I have 75 in mine.

300w bulbs will probably work for a little while but because of the heat produced by it,the lamp will not last and it would represent a fire hazard. 300w lamps were produced previously, but obviously, because of the hazard involved they are no longer available. DO NOT USE A 300W BULB IN A 190W LAMP!

You can use this CFL that is 100W equivalent but only consumes 23W. It works great for me and the item is really durable. Hope it helps Triangle Bulbs 23 Watt - 100 W Equal - Full Spectrum 5000K - CFL Light Bulb - E26 Base - Standard Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb

Hello. I checked on this item and the lamps take a regular size bulb with a maximum of 150 watts each. If you have any questions please contact us.

I don't see why not since it's just a standard light socket. But I would still use one of those energy saving bulbs that has the equivalent brightness of a 100 watt incandescent bulb. For example, I'm using a 20 watt LUMAcoil bulb which is equivalent to a 75watt incandescent bulb.

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

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

Hi. I looked at my lamp that has 3 bulbs and it says max for the fixture is 660 watts. I use dimmable flourescant 24 watt lights. I am using it with alarge drum shade over the dinning room table and 1 bulb would not be nearly enough light even with a 100 watt bulb. You have more options of light levels with a3 bulb fixture unlessyou are using a small shade in a small area
