That's exactly 150 watts. All 6 arrived intact, although I didn't screw each one in to see if they worked. The box shows Hungary as the place of manufacture. love bright light I read a lot and need good lighting during the hour I spend reading it each evening. There is also a lamp in the sewing room where I need good light to see what I am doing. 75 watts is a waste of money for someone who needs brighter lighting. It's going to be great, and I haven't activated them long enough to worry about the cost of using them. Thanks Revin Revision: A lightbulb has already burned out in just 3-4 hours of burning! I will update you on the durability of the rest of the lamps.
