I have used 85W bulbs in them. As far as safety and what is recommended, I'm not sure. 85W has not caused any shorts or fires yet for me.

Up to forty watt standard bulbs. You cannot use CFL bulbs as the switch has a built in dimmer not compatible with fluorescent bulbs.

What wattage and type of bulbs? Sounds like the fixtures are being overloaded.

I use 60 watt Clear (incandescent) light bulbs. I prefer those because of the way the light is cast. I have never seen them with flourescent bulbs or standard opaque bulbs, I just know that the light (to me) cast off all of my lamps is better and more crisp with a clear, incandescent bulb. I am not at home to check at this momennt, but I am fairly certain 60W is the maximum/recommended wattage. It sends out lots of light. In addition, I get so many compliments on these lamps, I wish I had more of them!!!

the electrical wattage is a regular 110, but for the bulbs it says that you can only use a 40 watt bulb maximum.

You should use the 11 watts as the instructions say. If you use a higher watt, you could damage the light

As long as the bulbs are not over 35 watts. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any questions. Sincerely, Briana

I used a 150 watt bulb without a issue. By the way, you can get this at Mennards for a lot less.

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.

I have mine over a regular-size light bulb, not sure of the wattage- probably 60 or 100 watt.

Sorry I said yes. Actually you have to change the bottom of the bulb holder which hold bigger bottom. You get them at amazon. I did that and I am using any watts I want.

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.

I use 40 watt bulbs in mine. The base is the same as standard bulbs, but they are shaped like a flame instead of the regular bulb shape.

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.

I have been using these studio lights for a few months now. They came with 45 watt, 5500K bulbs, similar to the bulbs you are looking at above. They use standard size light bulb bases like everything in your house. Your higher wattage bulbs should work ok. Heat would be the main concern. I probably would not use halogen bulbs because they are very hot. The only modification I made was to extend the vertical support rod so I can sit these on the floor and now have them high enough for my tabletop, otherwise the base has to sit on the table itself, taking up room.

Hi. I'm really not sure. I had 7 watt deck bulbs in originally, and these are not as bright. But light well enough on my deck and have out lasted the standard bulbs !!

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 ;^)
