Trust me, you don't need it any brighter. It is much brighter than I expected. You could read next to it without a problem and is probably easier on your eyes because of the frosted globe.

I believe it uses a Philips Hue White Ambiance A19 60W Equivalent Dimmable LED Smart Bulb - 6500k. max.

I have not tired this with a higher wattage bulb. The bulb included is at 800 lumens. I think this lamp is build specifically for a certain wattage as the cone is small and enclosure is closed tight. Anything brighter will make it the cone hotter and maybe unsafe (specially to kids).

I have not used it with any other bulbs other than the HUE brand by Philips. But it is a table lamp with a 800 lumen bulb. How bright do you want a small table lamp to be? In any case I think this lamp is built for the HUE bulbs as it does have a closed enclosure (so anything brighter would make the cone hotter!).

The socket on the lamp base is limited to 15-watts. 
That makes sense since a HUE bulb shouldn't be enclosed where it could overheat.

Table Lamp with Hue White Ambiance A19 60-Watt equivalent LED light bulb. I am not sure if you realize that a 15-watt LED is equal to a 60-watt regular bulb. That is usually plenty of light.
