I don't know the watts or lumens, there are 9 halogen bulbs that are provided with this chandelier. If you are worried it's not going to be bright enough, don't worry-even though the bulbs are small they are quite bright. We installed this over our kitchen island & it lights up the whole kitchen. Ours is on a dimmer which I would recommend also.

It is the bulb not the fixture that makes it dimmer compatible. So if you use standard bulbs this is fixture can be used with a dimmer. The low energy florescent bulbs are usually the problem with dimmers. What is great about this fixture is you can use high wattage bulbs. I use phillips low energy standard bulbs that are about 50 watts but output about 2500 lumens which is about a 100 watt bulb. Multiply that by three and you have one very bright fixture if needed. Good luck

It depends on the size and type of light bulb. I have three in my kitchen with 200 watt bulbs. However, I had a dimmer switch installed. Therefore I can have it very low light to 600 watts. Regular bulbs will get hot, so another suggestion is to go with a good quality LED bulb. It is hard to find them in higher wattage, but they do exist. They are expensive, but use negligible electricity and last many years. As soon as I can, I plan to replace mine with LED. I know this is a lot of info, but I tried to do my homework before deciding. Hope this is helpful.

It has 9 bulbs you can use any type of standard chandelier bulb (small rounded top). You can also use a low watt bulb or put it on a dimmer. Great light fixture!

I would not advise this light. It looks good, but over all it is cheep quality. It does not accept more than 25 watt chandelier light, so you can not expect much light from it. After searching long I found an energy sever light that barely fitted in and now the light works good. I still will not advise it. good luck

Not dimmable as far as I know. I haven't tried using dimmers on them. My guess would be that they don't work like that. I'm sure you an find LEDs that do however. Good luck.

you have to have a "dimmable" LED bulb. they don't cost much more. amazon sells both kinds. the 3 watt, "40 watt equivelent", type doesn't generally come in dimmable.

put 6 in a chandelier and the incandescent dimmer worked fine. However, I have a track light in the kitchen that had 10 halogen bulbs at 12 volts and when I replaced these with led the lights flickered until one halogen was replaced. If you don't have an electronic voltage transformer you should be ok. they need load to work. i

I list and discuss the amazon products, first a CFL is not great to a candelabra you need to replace too often, an LED is much better, and if you want dimmable you need an electronic dimmer with a bulb that can be dimmed. Plus now days the CFL is pitiful when comparing lumen to watts these are around 63 nearly twice the energy saving is available. If they will let me the site is EnergySavingLightbulbs.tk I list all Amazon products, discuss issues and come up with the best. Victor Brodt

We used the Lutron Maestro dimmer for LEDs. Works perfectly. I would imagine there are other options, too. Lutron MACL-153M-WH Maestro 150-Watt Multi-Location CFL/LED Digital Dimmer

Any home improvement store. Another option would be to install led light bulbs with a high lumen count. This would allow for more light with less wattage

We just use typical incandescent chandelier size bulbs (they are about 3 inches long and the glass swirls around slightly. There really isn't a "dimming" feature, the touch light just lights up in steps (three) from not much light up to full watt strength. It's a toggle mechanism so if you are at the strongest level of light, the next touch turns the light off and you then start over at the bottom by touching the metal. [Apologies if this is way more info than you needed or if you already knew all this -- if it's not working properly, perhaps you just got a defective light.]

I had to get LED bulbs, my electrician installed CFLs that were marked,"not for use with dimmer". He said they were, but I also saw the box they came in and it said not for use with dimmer. The LEDs cost more, but are engineered to last much longer than CFLs. I am looking at them now, and I think it was worth the money to get the LEDs. They seem brighter than the CFL bulbs also.

I used the 25 watt chandelier bulb as well which was included in delivery. These are stunning and well worth the price.
