Hello Scott,I wanted to double check before replying. Maximum wattage is 40 per bulb, hence a total of 120 wattage per lantern. Also, we live in a very rural area and it's very dark so we purchased two of these lanterns, one regular and one planter style. It does brighten the area up considerably and they are set on dawn to dusk mode so for the past year we have not had to replace them yet; I personally wouldn't mind things a bit brighter and may look into the newer 40 watt bulbs that actually give off more light or lumens when we replace the bulbs. The lantern itself is a quality product - would recommend. Hope this was helpful. Hello Scott,I wanted to double check before replying.

I Don't Remember What It Said On It.. But when I bought mine I Used 3 - 30 or 40 watt bulb's. it lasted for a few months. I couldn't see putting a 100 watt bulb in a touch lamp? just the heat that would come off would be a lot. hope this helps? Sorry

Maximum wattage per bulb is 100 for a total of 300 watts. This fixture is a good buy.

There is no minimum wattage that I know about, just a max. I have two, and use one to operate three 15W CFLs (total wattage ≤ 45W) and one to operate Christmas light circuit with twelve 7W candelabra bulbs + multiple strings of mini lights + eight 150W incandescent PAR spot lights (total wattage ≈ 1500W). They both work great! I set them right after installation and haven't touched them since!

I used it 500 watt lamp and it worked fine. For stronger 1500 Watt, I am not sure.

Must be an error. We use a 60 watt. By the way, we love this lamp. The shade is real glass (not plastic). It's a lovely piece!

These lamps take a 3-way bulb; mine currently have a 30/70/100. I'm sure you can fit a single 60W if you prefer.

Hi. I have thrown away my box and instructions. Just as a common sense answer, I would not put over a 60 watt. It is a beautiful lamp and I love the diffused soft light it gives. So it is better for a corner that needs mood light than for use a functional strong illumination.

`I don't think using a 300w bulb is a good idea. I think if the lamp were made for a 300w bulb it would come with one. In my research shopping for a new lamp I was trying to replace a 17 year old 300w lamp and discovered no one makes a 300w lamp anymore. Apparently they were deemed a fire hazard. I had 2 of them and never had a problem. I would not buy this lamp if you can purchase one locally. I could not find an inexpensive one locally as Home Depot & Lowes no longer sell them. The 2 I had were from Home Depot.

That is 100 watts per socket. But since 100 incandescent are extinct, I've been using 60's and it looks very nice. Now they're going extinct too. I hate CFLs. Poisonous Mercury in them.

Our lamp came with 40 watt, which is just right for us. It is on a dimmer, so one can manage the brightness that way. I prefer to stick to the wattage provided for safety reasons, as well.

A regular 40-60 watt bulb will work in this lamp. It might require clicking the on knob more than once for the light to come on but that does not bother me. I love the lamps. Bought them for a bedroom and they look very nice and are a very sturdy well made lamp:)

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

The lamp comes with a 40 watt bulb. My lamp has a label saying to use only a 40 watt bulb. The description on Amazon says 40w. A 25 watt bulb wouldn't put out enough heat to make the lamp work.

I would be careful of the ceiling light wattage. I blew one of these modules with a desk lamp, but I had 40watt bulbs in it and it takes 3 bulbs. 120 was too much for it. It is rated 100 watt max.

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.

do not know about wattage. lamp has three settings of brightness and emits a very pleasant bright and warm light.the bulb, if there is any is built in.
