Yes, you CAN. The real question is whether or not you should. There is always a fire hazard, especially if the lamp is near drapes, or has a large shade or whatnot on it. If it was me I'd only use a 60 watt bulb in a 60 watt lamp.

∙ 14y agoNo, if a lamp is only rated for 75 watts then that is the maximum wattage that should be applied to the fixture. The manufacturer of the fixture has to get an inspection on the electrical device that he wants to sell. This is done through an underwriters that determine what the maximums the device will take by testing it until it destroys itself. With a lamp, different size bulbs will be installed and the results noted as to which wattage damaged the fixture. Bottom line when the lamp label states the bulb size adhere to that bulb.

Can you put a 100 watt equivelant eco bulb in a 65 watt rated receptacle?
Yes, the actual wattage to create similar lumen's to a 100 watt incandescent lamp is around 23 watts in a compact florescent lamp. This being the case the actual draw would only be 23 watts or so and thus well under the 65 watts recommended for your fixture.
Can a 34 watt T8 bulb be put in a fixture designed with a 40 watt T12 ballast?
the 35 watt lamp will work in a 40 watt ballast.
Which wattage is used if you put a 3 way bulb into a lamp that does not have 3way ability?
The medium filament will be the light producer. This is because that filament is connected to the center pin of the lamp base the same as ordinary light bulbs. If the tri-light bulb is 50, 100 and 150 watts, the 100 watt portion will light.
How much energy every second would a 100 watt light bulb use?
100 Joules = 100 watt second = energy1 joule = 1 watt second
Can you put a 10.5 LED bulb in a basic 40 watt intermediate lamp base?
An LED bulb that replaces a basic bulb must have the same working voltage and the same type of fitting. A 10.5 watt LED will draw less power and produce less heat than a 40 watt incandescent, but not all LEDs are dimmable.
Can you put a lower 13 watt bulb in a 15 watt lamp?
Yes. Lower wattage would be safe for the lamp wires and components.

Can you put a fluorescent bulb in your floor lamp?
Yes, you can put a fluorescent light bulb in your floor lamp. You need to see what size bulb the lamp takes, but most sizes can be purchased as florescent bulbs.
Can you re charge solar powered torch at night?
Of course! Just put it under a 100 watt light bulb
Can you put 75 watts when 60 watts is recommended for fixture?
The fixture manufacturer goes on the side of safety. A 75 watt bulb puts out both more light and heat than a 60 watt bulb. It can make the fixture burn out sooner. For even more light, why don't you go with a florescent and get a 27 watt bulb that gives off the same amount of light as a 100 watt bulb? That will give off far less heat and be far better for your fixture?
How many btu's of heat are produced by a T8 fluorescent lamp?
Almost 90 % of electrical energy provided to an incandescent light bulb goes as heat and rest as light. A 100 Watt bulb puts out 100 Joules of heat per second. So - for one minute it would put out 6000 Joules (100 Watts X 60 seconds). 1 BTU (British Thermal Unit) of heat = 1055.056 Joules. So a 100 watt bulb, burning for one minute would put out 5.68 BTUs of heat. ( 6000 Joules / 1055.056 Joules) = 5.68 BTUs. Same bulb burning for one hour would generate 341 BTUs of heat.
Can you put a 7 watt bulb in a 40 watt socket?
Yes if it fits. The 40 watts would be an upper limit.
Can I put a UV bulb to power a lava lamp?
The dark black incandescent type UV bulbs will work as they actually get hotter than the equivalent standard incandescent bulb of the same wattage, but the compact fluorescent type UV bulbs run too cool.
