what is the highest-wattage bulb this lamp can use?

I believe it is 60 watt per bulb and 5 bulbs ... plenty of light for reading and can be dimmed as well.

I have 60w bulbs in mine. They do give off a lot of heat, but didn't feel 40w would give us the light we needed in the area we have.

40 Watt bulbs in each of the 5 lamps. There is a warning label in each lamp stating "40 Watts" max. This puts out more than adequate light.

Check out here first:http://www.lampsplus.com/light-bulbs/This lamp takes any type of bulbs that has same interface as the "standard household Incandescent A-type light bulb". On the sticker it says "MAX 15W medium base type A". So if you want to use standard household A-type bulb, maximum power is 15W because the lamp top is made of plastic and high power bulbs will melt the top. I'm using a 60W LED Bi-directional LED bulb from COSTCO and it's fantastic.

first you have to check to make sure the lamp you are putting it in can handle the higher wattage

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.)

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

60 watt or 13W max. CFL bulb is the highest you can use in the reading lamp.

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

You can use a heat bulb with this lamp, it just can not be above 160 watts.

I would only use the maximum the lamps states. You might risk overheating and causing an electric short. The lamp is very reflective and should not need a 100 watt bulb.

I currently use a CFL bulb in mine. Only limit would be the size of the bulb (higher wattage = bigger bulb)

It comes with a 25-Watt CFL bulb. The instructions state that is the highest wattage CFL to use, and that a 100-Watt incandescent is the highest wattage of that type to use.

I use 40 watt bulbs. This is a great lamp, all of the fixtures swivel and the cord matches the lamp as well. I have had this for over a year and it's a great product.

This socket is for night-light bulbs with a candelabra base. I use a 4-watt bulb. I don't know if you can use a higher wattage bulb, but you can contact Westinghouse. The page on their website that lists this item is: http://www.westinghouselighting.com/lighting-accessories/light-fixture-accessories/lamp-accessories-and-hardware/6-cord-set-with-snap-in-pigtail-candelabra-base-socket-and-cord-switch-7010800-2.aspxThe link to contact them is:http://www.westinghouselighting.com/contact-us/Hope this helps

The socket flares upward and it accepts the standard sized bulb, the ones with the base of the same shape and size as good old regular 60W incandescents. But the lamp itself is wired for 13 watts, and the LIFX says that it can draw up to 17 watts. I hesitate to suggest overclocking the lamp by 17 when it's built for 13. IKEA, if they're prudent, built their lamp to cope with a bit of overclocking, but...the prudent consumer doesn't absolutely rely on this.

60 watts max. I don't think it would be safe with a hotter bulb due to non venting. You could use a brighter pigtail type lamp though.

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:)

The lamp has a warning label that says the bulb may only be a maximum of 190 watts, so a 300 watt bulb would violate the manufacturer's safety instructions and could very well pose a safety risk.
