Greetings. Do the instructions stipulate maximum lamp wattage or maximum wattage of each bulb?

The lamp requires 40 watts or less for each of the three light bulbs. I find the amount of light to be more than adequate, and I sometimes only turn on one or two bulbs at a time -- but usually all three. I am very pleased with the lamp.

Never use bulbs with a higher watt than the fixture is rated for. I believe the light is only rated for 40 watt. It provides plenty of light.

Hi Benita, best way is to remove the bulb and get the nameand watt amount. Then search the Internet.

My experience is that if you put a higher watt bulb in you run the risk of damaging the lamp. I would stick with the two 35 watt bulbs.

The max is 100 watt and it uses a 3 way bulb. I am extremely pleased with these lamps.

I don't recall a specific wattage requirement. I use 40 or 60 watt bulbs. I usually just use one lamp at a time , but if I need more light I just turn on a second one.

Dear debbie 60 is the maximum wattage you can use. I've used florescent lamps anyway. Good luck

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

Not sure what the max is (sorry) but I use 40 watt led bulbs (5 required) and it's perfect

I have 65 watt bulb in it, and I believe it accepts more than double that amount. It adds a nice mood lighting to my office, and all I add is a desk lamp, which lights my work surface. I think if you were to use the maximum wattage, it woul be enough to light a small room.

PL type lamps, 27 watt maximum. I am reading this from the lamp shade itself. ItI is a plug in fluorescent with four individual small bulbs joined at the base. Reminds me of the fingers on a hand. I have found them to be very reliable.

No the total wattage is not 100 watts...max wattage is 100 watts per bulb for 300 watts max

We bought the 3 bulb option. Max wattage says 660W. That seems really high to me. We like it but the bottom piece is starting to lose it's shape a little as it rests on 3 prongs.

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.

It does not note the wattage on the light. people at Lowes w we chose a 60 watt bulb. It has been operating well

Hello, max watts is 60 I think but you can use energy saving bulbs to give more power. It's a beautiful lamp but for a desk may give too much light around, which could bother your eyes. But... I think it could work.
