Would it be okay to put a higher wattage bulb in it like a 100 Watt?

A brighter bulb would mean more heat and I don't think the fans in it could keep up. I imagine someone out there would be capable of modifying it so that it could manage the heat better, but I suppose the question would be whether or not it's worth it. I've since bought another inFocus projector off of an auction site for less than $200. Now we've got a pair of projectors we use for our Halloween and Christmas decorations. This Sharper Image projector was great to test the waters without a huge investment, but in the end we decided that it would be worth it if we kept an eye on the auctions and waited for a deal to pop up. We haven't used this Sharper Image projector since.

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.

Each light has its own plug so it shouldn't be a problem. Just be careful because most animals shouldn't be using over 100 watt bulbs.

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

Thy 60 watt bulb recommended is a low watt, high yield bulb, so it provides more than the normal 100 watt bulb. Very Bright!. Try to look at the answers already sent in on this product, they are enlightening.

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.

Your lamp should have a label on it stating what is the maximum acceptable wattage. Using a wattage higher than recommended could be a serious fire hazard, especially with a halogen bulb. It could even cause glass to shatter violently in some fixtures since these bulbs generate a lot of heat. Be sure to check for the label before installing a higher wattage bulb, if you can't find the label stick with the 190 watt bulb.

It depends on the bulbs you put in! It can handle up to 100w bulbs, so it should be as bright as you want it.

Sorry I said yes. Actually you have to change the bottom of the bulb holder which hold bigger bottom. You get them at amazon. I did that and I am using any watts I want.

I believe that has to be a misprint. A 100 watt bulb would be too bright as well as too hot. I have a 13 watt fluorescent bulb in mine that is equivalent to the light output of a 60 watt incandescent bulb. If you chose to go with an incandescent bulb. I would not go higher that 40 watts.

We used LED 100 watt bulbs and they work wonderfully. I think you can use anything you want as long as the can unit it attaches to can tolerate it.

Yes, you should be able to. The sticker on the lamp says "100 watt maximum". I have a 13w CFL bulb in mine, and it works just fine.

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.

I would use 100W light bulbs at the least if no other light source is available. Also, the light you use must NOT be of the flourescent type. You only really need the required light around the Chrony ;^)

I don't think the 50 watt bulb will fit in the fixture. It may touch the glass cover and cause it to crack from over heating.

No matter what wattage of bulb that you use, all of the light is directed upwards. So if you want a soft light to read by then this would be a good light. If you need direct light then this would not be the light for you. The lamp shade is made of plastic, not glass as it appears. I think 100 watts is ok, but I can not say for sure, I use a 60 watt bulb because I like the soft light.
