Must all light bulbs be the the same wattage in a chandelier?

No, all light bulbs in a chandelier do not have to be the same wattage, but it's important to consider the fixture's design and heat management. Using different wattages can create varied lighting effects, but it's advisable to ensure that the total wattage does not exceed the chandelier's maximum rating. Additionally, mixing bulb types may lead to inconsistent brightness and color temperatures. To achieve a cohesive look, many choose to use the same wattage and type.
