Can i use 100watt in each or is the limit 60w? trying not to use overhead flourescent lights in my office and the 60watt each is not bright enough

you can use 100Watt bulbs of LED as the actual wattage they consume is 10W to 15W.

it does state to not go beyond the 60 wt? Not sure if it will over heat if you go up higher.

I would use 100W light bulbs at the least if no other light source is available. Also, the light you use must NOT be of the flourescent type. You only really need the required light around the Chrony ;^)

sure, but i would not advise it. you would do better with 3 or 4, 10 watt units. these lights are real bright and hard to look into, unless they are hung overhead.

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.

In simplistic terms a watt is a Watt, basically voltage (120V) times Amp draw (.833A) would equal 100watts. There are other factors involved because of AC voltage and the CF electronics but the numbers are basically true for a light bulb. The rating you are talking about most likely applies to the socket it screws into. These CF bulbs draw less current than incandescent bulbs but are still rated by their overall wattage (power draw). These are 85 watt CF's which means they pull 85W=V120 X (.71A), So yes they will work fine in a 100W socket. I have not measured the actual current draw on mine but am reasonably sure the .71A is very close to actual. The big question is the lamp you are using. These are typically for Photo work. I use them with diffusion umbrellas and they work fine...if you intend to put these in a regular light with a shade you will likely have problems because of the size and possibly heat. If you are using them for SAD then make sure to use the appropriate shading that allows 5500K (daylight white) to pass through AND for heat and size. Also just a note that the large bases of these bulbs become quite hot to the touch and there are vents to allow the heat out of the electronics in the base...so let them cool down before removing them. Hope this wasn't TMI but thought it deserved proper explanations based on your "Crazy question".

They are measuring this in volts here, saying that it can be plugged into a 120 volt outlet. The bulbs are only 7 watts and work fine in any night light or Christmas lights. I've purchased many and they are good lights and will last about a year before you will need to replace, maybe longer if you are very careful not to ever jar them as they tend to get more delicate as the filament ages. Hope this helps.

It depends on the shade you use. The socket will take a 100 watts BUT the shades determine how much heat you should allow. I use a shade rated at 60 W but only put 40 W in it. The new LED and incadescent bulbs will let you go brighter w/out the heat. These lamps are accents, not reading lamps.

Don't know re but, mine were 60w and they say on the box it equals 3 100w incandescent no lumens or any other info. I was skeptical;however, they seem to work just fine. I do replace bulbs with new and move used to lower output requirement uses each season since fluorescent lose power after a while. I think they work just fine and are identical to higher priced bulbs I have purchased.

I have regular lightbulbs in mine. I think it is up to 60W. I love my lamp!

I use 2 10w in my bar for stage lights with other lights. The 10watt are fairly bright but for your application I would probably try the 20 or 30 watt model. Hope that helps.

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.

You can use the 60W as the lights AMPS is very low. Here is tech details Works well, but too blue for my liking. The LEDs are a cool white which makes them very blue. They need to offer a warm white version. Some technical info that is missing from Amazon: 1. There is no data sheet or technical information included with the purchase. 2. Each group of 3 LEDs draws 17 ma (.017 amps) of current at 12 VDC. The circuit is 3 LEDs and 150 ohm resistor in series. 3. The total string of 300 LEDs draws 1.7 amps of current at 12 VDC. 4. The power supply must be DC - not AC. To operate on 12 VAC, a full wave diode bridge must be used. 5. The LEDs can be operated at a lower (7.5 VDC min) or higher voltage (14.6 v) for dimmer or brighter light output. 6. The LED strip can be operated at a higher voltage for a much brighter output, but it must be a very short duration (1 sec max)

You will need to purchase two light bulbs. We are now using standard 60 watts in ours. You may want to read manufactures suggestion first.

I don't see why not. I have a 100w in mine and it is fine. I needed more brightness in the room I put it in so wanted it to be able to accommodate a higher wattage. They do not recommend a three way bulb however.

You can use a larger LED or CFL bulb. You just can not exceed the total lamp wattage of 150 watts. So if you added 2 Philips 100 watt EQUIVALENT LED bulbs it would be fine because the bulbs do not actually use 150 watts of power. Your only limitation is the size of the bulb.

Love the light... I would say if you put in 60 watt bulbs you would be fine (I have lower wattage bulbs in mine...as it is in a hallway).

Definitely. Using 3 60W equivalent LED bulbs is really bright. This lamp is really pretty, and I highly recommend that you use these bulbs, it worked best for me in terms of lighting and the product quality. It really lasts longer compared to the previous bulbs I've used. I hope it helps! Triangle Bulbs T95123-6 (6pack) - LED Dimmable 60 Watt Equivalent Daylight A19 Light Bulbs, 6 pack
