I bought a nice lamp from pier 1 and i need more light in my living room. The max wattage allowed by that lamp is 150 W. Can i use this bulb?

I believe this bulb can be safely used in a 150 W fixture. Look for the watts used on the base of the bulb. The writing on the base of my bulb says that is actually draws 60 W which is only 40% of the rating for you fixture.

you are ok w/ respect to wattage; however, plse bear in mind that this is a very large bulb and bulb needs wide fixture & room "to breathe" for best function; also make sure that shade is wide enough for this bulb's dimensions with extra room "to breathe"......

Yes , you can if it fits. The power (watts) that the bulbs draws is 60 watts, so it is well within the maximum rating for the lamp, as you said it is 150 watts.

I think not. The lamp's shade is plastic and the heat from a 23W CFL might degrade it. At any rate, the manufacturer was quite specific in calling for the wattage they called for and no more.

I'm sure you can use a 13 watt CFL bulb in this lamp (60 watt standard bulb equivalent). I have a 20 watt CFL (75 watt standard bulb equivalent) in mine and have had no issues. Have to turn switch 2 times to turn on since this is a 3 way 150 watt lamp, but that doesn't bother me any.

Check out here first:http://www.lampsplus.com/light-bulbs/This lamp takes any type of bulbs that has same interface as the "standard household Incandescent A-type light bulb". On the sticker it says "MAX 15W medium base type A". So if you want to use standard household A-type bulb, maximum power is 15W because the lamp top is made of plastic and high power bulbs will melt the top. I'm using a 60W LED Bi-directional LED bulb from COSTCO and it's fantastic.

Yes and yes. As long as the cord is adequate for additional wattage and lamp can handle additional heat. Check lamp for a label that defines max watt bulb...

Yes. Check the wattage on your "cover" lamp though. I'm using mine with a paper lantern and the max is 40W. It's a standard size base however.

Hi. I have thrown away my box and instructions. Just as a common sense answer, I would not put over a 60 watt. It is a beautiful lamp and I love the diffused soft light it gives. So it is better for a corner that needs mood light than for use a functional strong illumination.

Yes. This particular light only consumes 12 Watts, so it is totally safe to use in a fixture rated up to 60W. Your lamp rating is based on actual electrical power consumed by the bulb, and old incandescent bulbs are rated and sold by their power dissipation (for example, 60 Watts). Newer bulbs (fluorescent and LED) often use an "equivalent power" rating to compare the light output to the old incandescent standard--not to describe the actual power consumed. That means that this bulb puts out the same amount of light as an old 60W incandescent, but only consumes 12W.

This lamp is too small for even a 60 watt bulb. I use a 40 wall and believe that is what is listed for max usage by the manufacturer

There was no limit of wattage stated on the package. I generally use it with a 75 watt bulb, and have had no problems.

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

I have a 60 watt bulb in mine, but it says it can take up to a 100 watt bulb max on the lamp.

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.

The maximum wattage is 150 watts. I'm not sure if you are asking about the width of the shade or base of the lamp. I put a different shade on the lamp after I purchased it. The base of the lamp is about 6.5 inches.

The label on the underside of the shade says "Max 60 watt type A". I use a 13w CFL bulb (equivalent to 60 watt incandescent bulb). Great lamp. I use it everyday. The socket is for a regular size lite bulb not the small candelabra socket that a lot of lamps have gone to. Hope that helps.

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.

You're putting a 40 watt bulb into a 60 watt outlet. You should be fine. With that bulb you will be pulling less watts than what the lamp can output.
