It states it takes ONE (1) 100 watt bulb. I will be using over my Dining table, 60" long. Those of you have/are using this, will 100W be sufficient?

I think 100W is too much light, I'm using only a 60W bulb with the dome about 30 inches above the table...

I think that would definitely light the whole table. I'm using mine 36" above the table with a 43 watt bulb and it covers almost 80".

It will depend on how much illumination you prefer for dining. I added an inline cord dimmer switch so I could regulate the amount of light needed, which allows me to have a variety of light as needed.

This one has three levels of brightness with a single wattage bulb. I have a 40w bulb in it and would say it is maybe 15-25-40 at the three levels. The label on the lamp specifies not more than 60w or risk of fire, so this one is probably not for you. HTH.

It takes three 60W bulbs. It says that right on the front page. Nothing higher. You can use 60Watt equivalent LEDs or 60Watt incandescents.

The bottom of the outdoor light fixture is open, so installing the light bulb is easy. I don't remember reading about the 100 watt, but the packaging said 60 watt. I was concerned this would not be light enough as my house sits back from the street quite some bit; however, the 60 watt is substantial enough for me since I have one on either side of my garage door. Just to let you know, the base of the bulb is standard size and I was able to get bulbs with the candle flame shape. FYI---I have 4 of these lights and have gotten compliments on them since they aren't the standard outside light fixture.

I'm using it just fine in a non-dimmable sockets. It looks full to me... And I would suggest the 60W equivalent... Don't think you'll need the 100W - but of course, up to you. It's wonderful lighting either way. Enjoy!

Kevin, I've got mine about 40" above my 8 ft. table with 3-100 watt CFL bulbs. It takes the bulbs about a minute to warm up, but once they do it covers my table well. One good thing about using CFL bulbs is you can put brighter bulbs without worrying them getting too hot, even though the light bases are ceramic. I would think it should work for a 9 ft. too. It's actually a nice light for the money.

It is limited to a 60 watt bulb. Not going to be super bright in a big room.

Hi Victoria, it takes 3 bulbs & seems bright. I had it installed so I am sorry I don't know the wattage. It looks a lot like a Pottery Barn product with a more reasonable price. Your ceiling needs to be flat. Sincerely, Michelle

IF U HAVE SHADES ON NO MORE THEN 25WATT! Normal 25w chandelier bulbs of various sorts. Yes, u can put 100w in it but only for awhile and not with shades-- PS I put colored beads on mine! I change it often. I clean it about every 3 months with windex. PUT IT OVER A SPONGY SURFACE WHEN CLEANING IT! Cast the crystals drop off :/ Balancing it and adjusting the arls left and right to make the reflections on the ceiling symmetrical can be a trick but that is typical :D I LOVED IT SO MUCH I BOUGHT A 2ND! And now have twins :D

I don't know the maximum. I have a 100 Watt bulb in it right now. Have not had difficulty with that.

the harnass is set for two. With 55w bulbs you could get away with running 4. With 100w, no way. You will have to modify to run 4 also.

I think the label on the fixture says 60 watts. I used an LED 60W equivalent ( I think about 9 watts) and get plenty of light from it.

I have used a 100 watt in it for a long time and then I got a chrome played 75w bulb (totally worth it) which made the light not as bright due to the chrome. That's the last thing you have to consider with the high watt bulbs, will you really want to sit under it? It's so bright I get headaches from regular bulbs

I have a 100 Watt bulb in mine but I am thinking of replacing it with an LED equivalent -- fewer watts and more lumens. The lamp itself is wonderful; gets many compliments.

Check the product specs for this item at Amazon; this lamp takes a 100w 3 way bulb. So you can't exceed 100W. I'm using only a single 6w bulb in mine and it's fine.

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.

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.
