What is the wattage compared to electric light?

The light from this lamp does not compare at all. In fact, I used it once and gave it away! It was worthless!

I would liken it to a 60 watt bulb when the batteries are fresh. The light intensity goes down as the battery drains.Hope this helps.

I don't know specifically but I can tell you that it's far less bright than the plug-in OttLight I used to have.

Depends on your use, what is plugged in etc. We only have lighting circuit (wattage varies) and computers (they draw a constant 50 watts) Works for our needs. Also depends on Batteries - we have six 12 Volt batteries. More batteries more storage

The lights draw 1.5a each. Here is a link to a conversion table for future reference. http://rapidtables.com/calc/electric/Watt_to_Amp_Calculator.htm

I would say they are closer to 7 Watt brightness. They are not bright enough to light my walk way. They are bright enough as an accent light only.

I have mine over a regular-size light bulb, not sure of the wattage- probably 60 or 100 watt.

I gave this lamp as a gift so I don't have it in my home so I can't check it. The lamp I have is slightly different and it takes a 7 watt bulb and is 120 volts. I believe the actual bulb sockets are generally the same for lamps of this size so I would hazard a guess of 7 watts. Hope this helps.

Don't know about the wattage but it was a very small light. The arm can be moved to any direction and is pretty sturdy. The person I got it for uses it at work.

Best I can estimate 1 watt for 2 units. Am dry camping now. Battery lasts forever. Just a tiny bit less light than 2 21w bulbs. 1 w vs 11 w.

I'm not sure of the wattage, and have not had any of the problems others have had. My electric bill hasn't changed much so I think it's doing what it's supposed to. Also, My bulb is still going strong after months of daily use. It is at full brightness as soon as I turn it on. My light is on from 7am until 5-6pm 5days a week. Occasionally it's off for 30 min here and there, but it's always as bright as the day I got it. Luv luv luv my bulb.

Dear debbie 60 is the maximum wattage you can use. I've used florescent lamps anyway. Good luck

50 watts x 16= 800. You shouldn't be using the included lights though, unless you want to climb up and change them annually and rack up electricity charges on your bill. Do what I did and get LED. The wattage I got for them was like 5 watts, but they are equivalent to 50 watts. Uses a total of 80 watts on brightest mode. Less on dim... The chandelier is amazing and people think I have spent 4 to 7k on the display. Do it right though. LED 5 Watt lights, and replace these immediately.

I would say a lot more. A 40W equivalent LED bulb ranges from consuming anywhere from 5W - 7W. That's about 8x more consumed power.

Equivilant Watts is a sloppy way to compare the light output. The actual watts are an exact measure of heat: 1 watt = 3.41 BTU's of heat. If the light fixtures says Maximum 60 Watt Lamp what they are really saying is Do Not Exceed 204.6 BTU's of heat (60 x 3.41=204.6). A 17 watt LED lamp will produce 57.97 BTU's of heat.

I have no idea about the voltage but I use 2 60w lights. This is a large lamp and is beautiful. I have 5 stained-glass lamps from Warehouse of Tiffany and have never been disappointed

I couldn't tell you the wattage but I keep looking for the light switch to turn it off! LOL

It is fairly bright I'd estimate 40W or 60W equivalent. The light is not as warm as I was hoping for though. It is more daylight than warm.

60 watt. If you need more light but want to use this fixture, go with an LED or compact fluorescent bulb. You can get more light for less wattage.
