Can I use a 150 W bulb?

Probably not since it recommends 100W 3-way bulb. FYI, my 3-way simply does not work so I am just using it as a regular 100W.

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.

I don't know the gauge of the wire. For a lamp, it's probably 18, but if only 20, or even 22, it should handle more than150 watts. I'm not an electrician, but I think you can safely assume that any lamp accessory will handle a 150 watt bulb/

The label says you can use a max of 150 watt type A bulbs. I am using 72 watt clear Halogen bulbs and they put out plenty of light. It is NOT a 3-way lamp.

No. I purchased a bulb that is 100 watts. It works fine but entire metal casing gets extremely hot.

It should work. Just make sure that the bulbs draw at least 50 Watts combined or the transformer will not work. Maximum is 150 Watts.

You should not use more than a 60watt bulb. I had bulbs last3 to5 years.Bulbs can be replaced,they are regular house hold light bulbs . Thank You,Ken

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.

Additional answer: When it is noted that a bulb larger than 60 or 75 watts should not be used, it is because of the heat generated by an enclosed bulb, which can damage the fixture. It is not because of the wiring capacity of the fixture.

It is rated for 150 watts, the real question is will a LED bulb fit? I just tried an LED bulb in it and it fits fine.

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.

As long as the bulb has a screw mount base you can use it in here. We used a 17 W LED bulb. They work great!

I don't recall the make/model of lights we use on ours. But the manual I have says this for Bulbs: max 150 watt PAR or quartz flood lamps, PL fluorescent flood with low temp. start

I do not know for sure because we use a 100 watt chrome mirrored bulb which works very well to light the whole area. The bulb can be gotten from Amazon in different sizes, not sure about 150 watts, but it is not needed. the bulb is very pretty, the inside 1/2 is mirrored so you do not see anything besides the mirrored portion and it sits deeply into the shade so you do not see it unless you look for it.

If you put anything bigger then 35 watt it blows. I would not attempt 150 watt.

I believe the best recommended practice is to use 1000watt bulbs, regardless of power settings. I have not tried with lower wattage bulbs.

Where they are used isn't an issue so long as the fixture in which they are used is rated accordingly. By careful to not use them where they are not approved, as there is a fire risk involved. If your fixture is not rated for 150 watts, you may be in danger.
