What's your question? Do you have a light and want to know the wattage? The carton it came in really should listing the optimum size and number of light bulbs. If you are asking how vivid of a light you ought to get for a particular light stage in the area, no one can tell you that unless you explain the actual size of the space, like ceiling height, what shade it is painted, what sort of light you want to use and regardless of whether there is other lighting in the area.

Suggestion: most central chandeliers in an average dining space up to 15' x 20' have about 200 watts of incandescent light and are normally on a dimmer and operated at significantly less than highest. They are far more for ornamental light and ambience. If you will need more powerful light to do function on the table, select a single with a central down-light. it will not will need to be more than 100 watts (or 32 watts for CFL fluorescent) given that it will be in thirty" of the table surface, usually.
