Can you use a 150 watt light bulb in a 75 watt rated fixture?

Yes. The rating of bulb fixtures is there to discourage people from using bulbs that create too much heat. Obviously, a 75 watt bulb will produce less heat than a 150 watt bulb so it's quite safe to use the smaller bulb. If you overheat a lighting fixture you can cause premature failure and possibly even a fire.


How big of a fire hazard is it to plug a 150watt bulb in a 60 watt lamp?

The 150 watt bulb produces 2½ times more heat so unless there is enough air flow round it to take the heat away the temperature will rise and there is a fire hazard. That's why light fittings and lamp shades are often marked with the power limit.


Why cant you use a 150 watt in a 120 watt fixture?

Generally the reason is because of too much heat from the incandescent bulb. Other reasons would be the amperage would exceed the wiring or the lamp socket. Using ohms law (power or watts = amperage times voltage), a 150 watt lamp would take 1.25 amps. A 120 watt bulb would take 1.0 amps. Probably in your question the engineer was concerned with heat instead of amps.


How do you change 2004 f150 headlight bulb?

Changing F-150 Headlight BulbsI'm not familiar with your 2004, but I drive "89, and '93 F-150s.My headlight bulbs are inserted into a lamp-holder that mounts into the back of the headlamp assemblies via a 1/4 turn locking "tab" method.To remove the lamp-holder I just turn it one quarter turn counterclockwise, and pull it toward the rear of the vehicle. It is not even necessary to remove the wiring harness/connector from the lampholder.

Is this a fair price for lamp shades?

Yes, that is a fair price. Most lamp shades can run anywhere from $10-150+ depending on the size, shape, style..


Why would a 150 watt bulb cut off about 3 times an hour?

This would most likely happen because of a short in the lamp, a short in the power supply for the lamp, or because the bulb is not screwed in tightly, the bulb is defective or the socket that hold the bulb is defective. A properly working lamp does not cut off unless the wiring that gives it power is defective or the power supply cuts off,
