Look at the wattage capacity of the fixture. Some fixtures are limited to 65 watts, some can take much more. If you use a larger bulb than what the fixture was designed for you create a fire risk. If you need to use a larger bulb but the fixture is limited to 65 watts, you need to change the fixture.
