It may be difficult to make out where the light bulbs ARE due to the glare but there are
four total and they started out as (2) 14-watt 100-watt replacement bulbs from Walmart;
The brand is 'Great Value' and they are about 8 bucks for FOUR bulbs - they will REALLY
light up your life! I actually 'had to' remove one from my kitchen's 4-receptacle overhead light,
as it was TOO bright in there!
It turned out to be that the wattage is of course super-relevant to if they are used as a light source
versus a heat source; You could burn your hand on the plastic part where the LEDs are actually
lighting up butt the opaque plastic bulb is quite cool, which totally makes sense - it is just to disperse the light.
I ended up adding a few more items and had to slowly step up to 2 - 53-watt Halogen bulbs also,
so the final wattage is 134 watts.
