I just bought a Hampton Bay bathroom light bar. It has four light fistures. The box says it needs 4 bulbs, 100 watt max. It is unclear whether it means each bulb can be 100 watts or if the 4 bulbs together can not be more than 100 watts. Four 25 watt bulbs will not be enough light.

The rating normally applies per bulb or socket. The wiring and insulation could be damaged if light bulbs (individually) exceeding 100 watts are used. Often each socket is marked with a sticker.
