Using a smaller lamp in a specifically rated fixture will cut down on the amount of heat that the fixture will have to undertake, but there again the fixture has been certified for the amount of wattage that is shown on the fixture's label on the amount of wattage that the fixture can handle. With that out of the way using a 40 watt light bulb in a 60 watt rated light fixture is safer than using a 100 watt light bulb in a 60 watt rated light fixture.

It may be difficult to remove from some plastic sockets after it has been heated up and melted to the base of the bulb. A fixture rated for 100 watts usually has a ceramic socket.
