The product information says 150w. You could call Nuvo, the manufacturer, to be sure.

Hi. You can not use a bulb that requires more than 13watts for each socket. You will burn out the socket.

Yes, Just don't exceed 150 watts per bulb. I'm using 2 different types of LED bulbs in mine and everything works really well.

I've used it with all types of bulbs. Its rated for a total of 300 watts--this is written on the side. PAR38 bulbs are too big for this, not enough room between the sockets to plug in more than two at a time. Otherwise it takes most anything with an E27 base.

I just used 65 watt bulbs and they are fine. I'm sure you can do 75 watt bulbs.

Interesting question. I have used 100 watt bulbs with this kit and not had a problem.

Yes, you should be able to. The sticker on the lamp says "100 watt maximum". I have a 13w CFL bulb in mine, and it works just fine.

Yes, these fixtures are rated for 100 watt max. I have installed all LEDs in mine to minimize having to replace the bulbs very often.

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

You can use a heat bulb with this lamp, it just can not be above 160 watts.

Per the specifications, the fixture can be used with up to 160 watt lamps do long as the total wattage is no more than 300 watts, so you should be well within safe operation of the fixture.This fixture is commonly used with Zoo-Med's Power Sun mercury vapor lamps, which come in 100 and 160 watt versions, so your 150 watt basking bulb should be fine. You may, however run into balance issues due to bulb weight if you use a lamp stand. This can be rectified to some degree by manipulating the way the cords hang.

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.

it will work fine with that wattage and with LEDs however, not every bulb I have tried would reach down into the socket. It's really designed for flood style bulbs.

I have a 400 watt power supply and it works fine.I would try it with the 250w because you can always send it back.

I use 6 watt led bulb with no problem. Which is equivalent to 40 watt. Been using it for several months now works great! 60 watt should be just fine.
