Light fittings should not be overloaded electrically because overheating can cause a fire. Alternatively you could use a 20 watt low-energy bulb.

Can you use a 60 watt compact fluorescent bulb in a 40 watt fixture?

It depends. A 60 watt CFL draws approximately 13 watts. So you could actually put a 125 watt CFL in as it only draws 30 watts. However most CFLs cannot be dimmed nor are CFLs recommended in harsh environments such as refrigerators or ovens. Also because the coils of a CFL get larger in diameter adn height as the brightness increases, some fixtures may be unable to accomodate a 60 watt CFL let alone a 125.

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 can a 60 watt bulb use the same power as a 60 watt bulb can in a second?

A 60 watt bulb uses 60 watts of power continuously per second. It is consistent with the definition of power, which is the rate at which energy is consumed or produced. Therefore, a 60 watt bulb would use the same amount of power as another 60 watt bulb within the same timeframe of a second.


Why is 60 watts written on the bulb?

The 60 watts on the bulb indicates the power or energy consumption of the light bulb. It tells you how much electricity the bulb consumes to produce light, helping you to choose the right bulb for your lighting needs and to ensure you are using the appropriate wattage for your fixture to prevent damage.


Using a 40 watt bulb in a 60 watt outlet?
