What's the maximum wattage bulb that can be used with these adapters?

I used them for a ceiling fan and every time I put a larger wattage than 40 the bulb would come on and then go out. I am not an electrician but I think the new fan had some sort of protection in it.

I don't see that they are rated, but since they are made out of plastic I would be hesitant to use them for anything higher then 60 watts because they might melt due to excessive heat.

Sorry, I don't know the maximum wattage for the adapters. I am using them with 13 watt CFL's, and they work just fine.

I don't recall a limit stated on the adapter itself. But most candelabra bulbs are low wattage - maybe 40 watts max - and there will be a wattage limit written inside the light fixture itself. The light fixture wattage limit is for avoiding heat buildup in the fixture. I used CFLs and put in either 60 watt equivalent or 75 watt equivalent CFLs, which I think are 13-18 watts of actual power consumption. So much less heat than the specification in the fixture.

I used these for 13 watt CFLs. They should handle 60 or 100 watt incandescents OK.Thanks....

While there was no written indication of a wattage limit from the manufacturer, I would limit their use to a maximum of 60 watts. Most new ceiling fan lights with the small size candle arbor threads, have a 60 watt limit and thermal overload protection that will shut the lights off if the bulbs exceed the 60 watt limit. Sorry for the wait. You should contact a qualified electrician to obtain accurate safety information regarding the wattage limit. You may also e-mail or call the manufacturer of the light on which you intend to install the adaptors. They can advise you better than I.

You should be able to use up to a 60 W incandescent bulb. The limit is imposed by a thermal overload built into the fixture housing. If you need more light, I suggest you use a compact fluorescent or LED.

I use 60 Watt Bulbs no problem. I have been using the same sockets for 6 months and have around 15-20 hours AT LEAST on each. I wasn't able to find any label on the bulb itself or packaging that says what wattage it is rated for.

not sure about that. Usually it is the max load you have to worry about. I have 5 halogen bulbs, each 25 watts. Works fine

It should work. Just make sure that the bulbs draw at least 50 Watts combined or the transformer will not work. Maximum is 150 Watts.

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

2 prong plug, so I see no reason why you could not. It takes a maximum light bulb of 75 watts and the cord is a little over 5 feet long. I usually use surge protectors (safer) instead of an adapter but that is your choice.

This LED lamp is rated at 1.44W. Your adapter, 110v to 12v would need a minimum 2W per lamp. This translates to 16.7 MA per lamp

The item's instructions calls for 25 watt candalabra base bulbs. That's what I used.

I am running nine lights using the Moonrays 95432 200-Watt Power Pack, and I'm using 18 watt bulbs. Has been working perfectly for two years.

I use 60 watt bulbs. Should last for at least a year or longer. Bulbs can be replaced. Product works.

At the moment I'm using one 14W Fluorescent Philips I'm not sure which was the max it can be used, but do remember was far more high that I'm using now. Sorry If I can't answer your question.

I don't know. I am currently using a 4 watt nightlight bulb instead of the 7 watt recommended though.

Yes. I used a four bulb adapter and have four 45w bulbs lit with no problem. Not sure what the manufacturing specs say, but it works for me.

yes I am using a 5 = 60 watt led bulb in one .The adapter converts a candelabra bulb base to a standard lamp size bulb .It does add about 1 1/2 inch length to the bulb fixture so make sure your bulb will fit if it's in a globe though.
