What is the highest watt bulb you can put in this?

Hi. I have thrown away my box and instructions. Just as a common sense answer, I would not put over a 60 watt. It is a beautiful lamp and I love the diffused soft light it gives. So it is better for a corner that needs mood light than for use a functional strong illumination.

60 watt max. I use a 60 watt led bulb that only used 10 watts. I added an inline switch so i don't have to use the pull cord. Does the job. This set up works great for me.

Look for a 15 or 20 watt bulb in a hobby store or pet shop. Take the base in with you; they won't mind.

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.

Check the product specs for this item at Amazon; this lamp takes a 100w 3 way bulb. So you can't exceed 100W. I'm using only a single 6w bulb in mine and it's fine.

The item's instructions calls for 25 watt candalabra base bulbs. That's what I used.

Yes. I only have a 60 watt bulb in there and the amount of light is considerable. It takes up to a100 or 120 so it will definitely put out alot of light at that wattage.

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.

At the moment I'm using one 14W Fluorescent Philips I'm not sure which was the max it can be used, but do remember was far more high that I'm using now. Sorry If I can't answer your question.

150 watt is the maximum. It says so on a sticker right on the lamp that I have. The sticker also says to use "type A lamp 3-way or smaller".

60 watts max w/male end the size of a nitelite bulb. I used the energy star certified 60-watt CFL bulbs. The bulbs I bought are a bit too long but work. Choose one that is no more than 4 inches in length.

There was no limit of wattage stated on the package. I generally use it with a 75 watt bulb, and have had no problems.

It can use up to a 150 watt bulb. I found it too bright as I just wanted it over my reading area. I use a 75 watt instead.

I put a higher watt bulb in it than the "broken" one that it came with. I didn't go too big, but a step up from the original. Still not real bright, but does better, the higher you can place it, as mine gives off more colored light from the sides than it does the top.

I seem to recall that the bulb supplied was 75 watt which may be the max. I use mine on a flag pole also but I use two fixtures in case one burns out. This gives me plenty of light.

I use 40 watt E12 bulb and it has lasted for many years in lights at our house. Cost is not high, see Amazon for costs.
