About 150 watts.
180 watts
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?
If the exit fixture uses a LED lamp it will have a 1 to 3 watt rating. If it is a incandescent bulb, each lamp will draw about 25 watts each.
Yes, it is only pulling 18 watts.
As long as the fixture in the confined space is approved for confined space and the wattage rating of the fixture is not below 60 watts then there should be no problem using a 60 watt bulb in this situation.
Under two conditions it can. One the fixture that the lamp goes into has to be rated at 250 watts. This is highly unlikely in a home lighting fixture. The other is that the lamp has to be an incandescent lamp.

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.
If the exit fixture uses a LED lamp it will have a 1 to 3 watt rating. If it is a incandescent bulb, each lamp will draw about 25 watts each.
There are 1000 milli-watts in one watt.

The wattage of a squiggly light bulb is dependent on its size and brightness. Generally speaking, squiggly light bulbs range from 5 watts to 15 watts. Here is a list of the wattage for the most common sizes of squiggly light bulbs: 2.5 Watt: Ideal for low-light applications 5 Watt: Ideal for accent lighting and task lighting 7 Watt: Ideal for mood lighting and for general lighting 9 Watt: Ideal for general lighting and for brighter task lighting 11 Watt: Ideal for brighter general lighting and for brighter mood lighting 15 Watt: Ideal for brighter general lighting and for brighter mood lightingThe wattage of a squiggly light bulb can vary depending on the manufacturer, so it's important to check the label of the bulb for its exact wattage.
As long as the fixture in the confined space is approved for confined space and the wattage rating of the fixture is not below 60 watts then there should be no problem using a 60 watt bulb in this situation.
This is very bright for indoor lighting, the equivalent of about 350 watts of incandescent lighting, or a 65-watt and 42-watt CFL pair (4200 and 2700 lumens respectively).
Probably, as the CFL consumption is 26 watts. Why not try a 60 watt CFL first, that would be much lower consumption.
1 mega watt is 1,000,000 watts
