I believe the documents that came with the lamp said 75 watts or 1200 lumens.... It is a beautiful lamp and I am so happy with it... Class!

Check the product specs for this item at Amazon; this lamp takes a 100w 3 way bulb. So you can't exceed 100W. I'm using only a single 6w bulb in mine and it's fine.

From the base (excluding the pins) to the tip I measure 4.25" (108mm). The largest diameter is 2.5" (64mm) approx 2 3/4" (71mm) up from the base. These are measurements of the Feit A19 13 Watt dimmable LED bulb.

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

Hi, thanks for posting your question. According to the product information available, this lamp uses (5) x 25 Watt Candelabra Base Bulbs or CFL equivalent. For future reference, this information is located to the right of the product picture on the Product Page. I hope this is helpful!

It doesn't put out a huge mount of heat but I use it in a clamp-on reflector type fixture that doesn't enclose the bulb. Keep in mind that this bulb is quite large. It's approx. 8-1/2" long and larger in diameter than most Compact fluorescents. Personally, I wouldn't use it in such a way as to enclose the bulb and allow heat to build up but then again, it might not hurt anything. It's for sure that it won't fit in a normal table lamp.

I use the Verilux natural spectrum compact flourescent bulb which fits like the previous incandescent bulbs. No problem, I like this lamp very much. Here is the link to the Verilux site if you are interested: http://www.verilux.com/compact-fluorescent-bulbs/compact-fluorescent/

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

I use 60 watt Clear (incandescent) light bulbs. I prefer those because of the way the light is cast. I have never seen them with flourescent bulbs or standard opaque bulbs, I just know that the light (to me) cast off all of my lamps is better and more crisp with a clear, incandescent bulb. I am not at home to check at this momennt, but I am fairly certain 60W is the maximum/recommended wattage. It sends out lots of light. In addition, I get so many compliments on these lamps, I wish I had more of them!!!

60 watts max w/male end the size of a nitelite bulb. I used the energy star certified 60-watt CFL bulbs. The bulbs I bought are a bit too long but work. Choose one that is no more than 4 inches in length.

I'm using a 60 watt long-lasting mercury bulb that lasts forever. Good luck in finding a web-site for Ledu Corp; you can get an address by Googling; office shows being in Trumbull, Ct. My guess is that you should stick with the 50/100/150 watt 3-way bulb that Ledu suggests using; my educated guess is that you are asking that wiring to handle too much heat when trying to use as much as 250 watts of energy. Stick with the original mfgr. suggestion of 50/100/150 watts or write them a letter; you can find thir P.O. box on the internet.

Use the Eiko brand #93 bulbs. Other brands may become too hot and use too high a current, and damage your desk lamp.

I use an LED globe bulb for this fixture with 350 lumens and the light is just outstanding and bright, but only consumes 5W. It doesn't heat up and it perfectly fits. This bulb is really a good find for this lamp, I highly recommend it Triangle Bulbs T90020 (Pack of 2) G16 Decorative Globe Light Bulbs 300 Lumen 5-watt LED Light Bulb with E26 Base, Color 3000K, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

The label on the underside of the shade says "Max 60 watt type A". I use a 13w CFL bulb (equivalent to 60 watt incandescent bulb). Great lamp. I use it everyday. The socket is for a regular size lite bulb not the small candelabra socket that a lot of lamps have gone to. Hope that helps.

It's a beautiful lamp but it's plastic, so I'd really recommend if you use LED bulb because it doesn't heat up. I suggest that you use a 40W equivalent LED Globe bulb because it works best for me. The lighting is beautiful and relaxing, and this one, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient. Hope it helps (Pack of 4) G25 LED Bulb 6W, Warm white, 3000K, 40W Globe Bulb Incandescent Replacement, clear Cover, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

I have a 100 Watt bulb in mine but I am thinking of replacing it with an LED equivalent -- fewer watts and more lumens. The lamp itself is wonderful; gets many compliments.
