Someone wrote the lights are not so bright. Is it possible to replace the existing lights with higher wattage bulbs, say 360W ?

They are already hotter than the sun, so probably not. You could of course use your own lights with the light tent, but I think the point of this particular kit is the convenience of buying an okay photo tent with some okay lights at a cheap price and all at once.

I haven't tried increasing the watts... I would like to know the same. I have been using one of those clip lamps and using it in addition to the two lights to bring in light through the top

Hope this will help- I saved assembly directions . It says to use maximum 3 100 watt incandescent bulbs. Probably can be purchased at Walmart / Home Depot @ others.

On the light it says,"replace bulb only with same style typet bulb rated max 190 watts." However, we are very happy with the light as it has a dimmer switch and when all the way up is quite bright.

I don't recall saying that, but lows shine up to the top of the housing and high shine down. And thoughts... Get the higher wattage ones, these just aren't bright enough

Hi. Output is dim! But I like them. I replaced 9 50 watt lights in my kitchen. Went from 450 watts to 81

Yes you can but they won't be 3 way,,, they will just light up at 60 watt,,, if you want three way to go from light to brighter then brighter you have to buy a three way bulb,,,hope this helps, zinna

There would be no bulbs to replace because the lighting mechanism uses an LED. I don't know if you can replace LED's.

I'm not sure. The light is a little dim, I know. I find that it works best when I have other room light on. I would email the company and ask about using a higher wattage.

I don't think so because you can customize the light settings... Check out the manual..

I am not sure. I never asked. Perhaps a higher wattage bulb or a globe that is clear would improve the amount of light.

Please kindly buy E26 bulbs. The maximum wattage it supports is 60W per bulb.

I don't believe you can. The out put is only 2 watts. Those lights are way more. I would recommend a wig wag headlight flasher instead.

Hi Erin, thanks for the question. It's not as hard as it may seem. You just remove the casing and exchange the bulb. This fixture uses T-4 bulbs of a maximum of 100w. We hope this helps! If you have any other questions Erin, please reach out to one of our experts. They know everything, and they're literally sitting right next to their phones right now:) Hansen Wholesale 1-800-201-1193

If I put higher watt bulbs in I get more light... its not like the florescent I had, really bright light. I like the "look" of the lights, I am still working on the watt bulbs to be using. Right now I have two outer higher watt, and the center less. Will probably be changing around until I get the adjustment I like. Its not a direct bright light.

You can replace the bulbs with these fluorescent tubes, it's what worked best for me. Hope it helps! (Case of 10) F32T8/SP41 Linear Fluorescent 32-Watt T8 FO32 741 Light Bulb 48"

NO, I bought this based on the previous answer but I didn't get the joke. Now I am sending it back. I want to be able to replace the bulbs.
