Yes the highest wattage of bulb each ez soft box can take is 425 watts, however those bulbs are sold separately. We appreciate your inquiry.

You can use up to a 150 watt bulb is what the manufacturer specifications are according to the spec sheet that was sent with this set. I am just using 100 watt bulbs, and they are very bright, so I didn't feel the need to use a 150 watt bulb. With a 100 foot string and light sockets every 10 Feet, you will find the area you are using in will be quite lit up.

I have a 60 watt bulb in mine, but it says it can take up to a 100 watt bulb max on the lamp.

It is not a matter of how many lights but how many watts. According to the specs the unit is capable of handling 15 amps at 120 volts or 1800 watts. That would be up to eighteen 100 watt bulbs.

I used a 150 watt bulb without a issue. By the way, you can get this at Mennards for a lot less.

I also use 2 150 watt incandescent bulbs. Tried CFL bulbs but the light was not too bright on either settings.

I am using a 60w bulb; I can't imagine you'd have any problem with 75-100w.

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

I use it with one 75-watt incandescent bulb. I believe that as long that you don't pass the limited watts, you'll be fine.

It can use up to a 150 watt bulb. I found it too bright as I just wanted it over my reading area. I use a 75 watt instead.

I believe this bulb can be safely used in a 150 W fixture. Look for the watts used on the base of the bulb. The writing on the base of my bulb says that is actually draws 60 W which is only 40% of the rating for you fixture.

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.

It depends on the bulb you put into it. I think the recommended wattage is no more than 60 watts (ie, a 60 watt bulb).

I used a standard incandescent 60 watt but you should be able to go higher if you want

The manual says not to use a bulb rated higher than 60 watts. The light dims the bulb so you would have to use an LED bulb that is dimmable (but some dimmable LED bulbs require a specific type of dimming circuit to work and may not be compatible with this one.)
