Is the bulb 1 watt per color (1 watt red, 1 watt green, 1 watt blue) thus making it only a full 3 watt when using white? Or am I wrong?

That is not my experience with these bulbs. The colors do not blend perfectly.

Yes the settings are one color, cycle through all colors or no light at all. You can also run the light on its own.

I sent this to my daughter at school, along with 60 watt bulbs and she didn't complain. So the standard bulb worked. :)

No, a 3-way bulb will make no difference. I believe you can use a regular 100-watt bulb. I have 75 in mine.

That must be a mistake. Unless this is a new model that now takes two. I bought this lamp Oct. 2012. On mine there is only one socket, you couldn't get a second bulb in there. I put a CFL bulb in mine. My older green glass banker's lamp is just the same, with one socket and only ONE regular-sized 40 or 60 watt bulb fits (horizontally) in either lamps. Or, a CFL. The socket fits a normal/medium size bulb base.One person said yes, it takes two. If so, it is a newer model.

Can use up to 100 watt 3way. I use a CFL equal to 100 watt bright white. The shades make it a little dark.

It takes one standard 40 watt light bulb. I would not recommended buying this light. The directions were terrible and after we put it together it looks nothing like this picture. It's very white and cheap looking.

I notice that it says 45 watt on one of the bulleted blurbs. I think that is a reference and it is a 60 watt bulb. It does say 60 watt on the bulb.

The min/max wattage comment (by Scott) is spot on. My fixture had 3 dimmable LEDs and I had flickering. I swapped out one LED bulb for an incandescent to get above the min wattage. All flickering is gone. dimming works as expected.

1 bulb, I think it was 60 watts, I use the fluorescent bulbs, have 2 of these in master bath and they work well.

I'm not sure of the wattage, and have not had any of the problems others have had. My electric bill hasn't changed much so I think it's doing what it's supposed to. Also, My bulb is still going strong after months of daily use. It is at full brightness as soon as I turn it on. My light is on from 7am until 5-6pm 5days a week. Occasionally it's off for 30 min here and there, but it's always as bright as the day I got it. Luv luv luv my bulb.

The three settings are hi, low, and off. Hi is full wattage, low is half, and then off is off. The white ones seem to always hold up better- the brown ones (in my experience) had slippy rotary parts. When cycling through the three settings, they would skip settings unpredictably. Sometimes they didn't work at all. I never tried them with a CFL-- only incandescent bulbs. Not sure how that would work or if it would work. Hope this helps!

That is how it works... it has a remote for a reason.. use it to select color.. or justGive ur bulb to someone who appreciates the variety of color and go get a regular light bulb

Personally I only use a 75-watt bult because that's enuf brightness in that location. Never used a 3-way bulb in this lamp.

Yes H1 bulbs is correct 35w work magnificent but 55w take it to a whole other level of brightness is up to you what u decide on as far as wattage.

i have used three 100 watts and haven't had a problem. i did have a couple broken when i got them though. i think they say not for sale in the USA because they are not allowed to sale them here anymore. I feel it is a shame we can't have the bulbs we want and like here. Mine do not say NOT FOR USE IN THE USA. Someone is getting a nice kick back making us use these newer bulbs that are horrible looking and working. i hate the way they dim after a bit of use and they are just plain awful. I am not an expert of course, but i think they say not for sale in USA because of the reason i gave above.
