I need a kit that will support higher wattage than 60 watt. Will this lamp kit support a three-way 50-100-150 bulb?

No, this one is a simple one way switch however there is a three way one at this link- GE 3-Way Lamp Kit, 8-Foot Clear Cord 50960

I don't know the gauge of the wire. For a lamp, it's probably 18, but if only 20, or even 22, it should handle more than150 watts. I'm not an electrician, but I think you can safely assume that any lamp accessory will handle a 150 watt bulb/

Additional answer: When it is noted that a bulb larger than 60 or 75 watts should not be used, it is because of the heat generated by an enclosed bulb, which can damage the fixture. It is not because of the wiring capacity of the fixture.

I think you will be fine. Easily 2X3 feet. As a previous reviewer said the higher the greater the coverage. The reflectivity of the inside of the lamp is great. I believe it supports a 100 watt bulb. I use a 13 watt CFL that equals a 60 watt old fashioned bulb and it is more than enough to read by for geriatric eyes, in my other lamps I require a 100 watt bulb.

It is up to 100 per socket. There is no way to divide 3 into 100 evenly. Especially since there is no bulb that would equal what is close. Of course you do not have to use 100 in each. You can use less if it is too bright.

Yes. I only have a 60 watt bulb in there and the amount of light is considerable. It takes up to a100 or 120 so it will definitely put out alot of light at that wattage.

3 way bulbs up to 150 watts 1 pull 75watt- 2nd pull 100watts- third is 150 watt

Yes! This light fixture can support up to 300WATTS... I found this fixture to be amazing! I loved everything about it! I used it for solar bulbs... Which is a basking bulb and UVB all in one, and a night time bulb... I hope you enjoy! ☺️

I use for this lamp is a 3-way 50-100-150 and works great or if you do not want it bright use a small bulb like 30-70 and not sure of the last bulb size.

You can use a larger LED or CFL bulb. You just can not exceed the total lamp wattage of 150 watts. So if you added 2 Philips 100 watt EQUIVALENT LED bulbs it would be fine because the bulbs do not actually use 150 watts of power. Your only limitation is the size of the bulb.

I have used 50-250 trilight bulbs in a similar lamp with no problem. I do not have a bulb that size at the moment to try in new lamp but I see no reason why you could not use one. I checked my lamp and there is no specifications to the maximum wattage. There is lots of room for air flow and the shade is open. I see no problem at all.

I don't see why not. I have a 100w in mine and it is fine. I needed more brightness in the room I put it in so wanted it to be able to accommodate a higher wattage. They do not recommend a three way bulb however.

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.

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

The lamp lasted less than a year. I no longer have it and do not recommend that you purchase it. It was very poorly constructed. However, to answer your question, though I am not absolutely sure I think it will take any bulb with a traditional screw type (E26 I think) base that is used on the traditional A19 incandescent bulb. You can't use any bulb brighter than 60w. Good Luck!

There's a wattage limiter in the fan, which limits the maximum light bulb wattage. If you're handy with electrical devices, you can remove it and by pass the wires which will allow you to install a set of higher wattage incandescent light bulbs. If you do this, make sure NOT TO EXCEED 60-watt per light bulb with a maximum of 650-lumens because the light kit bowl is very fragile and will explode from the heat generated by any higher wattage light bulbs.

Hi. I looked at my lamp that has 3 bulbs and it says max for the fixture is 660 watts. I use dimmable flourescant 24 watt lights. I am using it with alarge drum shade over the dinning room table and 1 bulb would not be nearly enough light even with a 100 watt bulb. You have more options of light levels with a3 bulb fixture unlessyou are using a small shade in a small area

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

This lamp is too small for even a 60 watt bulb. I use a 40 wall and believe that is what is listed for max usage by the manufacturer
