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.
Yes, you CAN. The real question is whether or not you should. There is always a fire hazard, especially if the lamp is near drapes, or has a large shade or whatnot on it. If it was me I'd only use a 60 watt bulb in a 60 watt lamp.
Leaving a lava lamp on non-stop can lead to overheating, which may cause the lamp to malfunction or even break. It can also reduce the lifespan of the lamp's components, such as the wax and bulb. Additionally, it can pose a fire hazard if not used according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Yes, using an incompatible bulb in a lamp can cause the breaker to trip. Different bulbs have different power requirements, and an incompatible bulb could draw too much power, causing the breaker to kick in order to prevent overheating or fire hazard. It's recommended to always use the proper type and wattage of bulb recommended by the manufacturer.
Using a heat lamp with a higher wattage than the holder can handle can cause overheating, melting, or even a fire hazard. It is important to match the wattage of the bulb with the wattage rating of the holder to ensure safety and proper functioning.
from a WATTAGE point of view, yes; it is always electrically safe to switch to a smaller wattage if the larger wattage was setup in an approved manner. from a HEAT point of view, don't change a lamp until it cools off unless you have proper gloves yes, but not the other way 'round

Yes, you can use a 60-watt bulb in a lava lamp, provided the lamp is designed to accommodate that wattage. However, it's essential to check the manufacturer's specifications, as some lava lamps are designed for lower wattage bulbs (usually 25 to 40 watts). Using a bulb with higher wattage than recommended can lead to overheating and potentially damage the lamp or create a fire hazard. Always prioritize safety and follow the guidelines provided by the manufacturer.

You sure can, it's been done, and the bathroom didn't blow up, the bathroom was just extremely bright Some sockets, though, do have a maximum wattage and/or a maximum heat tolerance that needs to be followed to avoid the risk of fire in the wiring and ceiling. It won't blow up, but you might start a fire. Heat lamps should have a porcelain socket and heat resistant insulation.
no,not if you have the towel on top of the heat lamp, but if you have the towel underneath it then it is possible
Incandescent lamp
Yes, you can put a 40w bulb in a 60w lamp. The wattage rating on the lamp indicates the maximum wattage the lamp can handle, so using a lower wattage bulb is safe. Just make sure the base size and type match.
No. An hid bulb has a transformer (ballast) that produces a certain voltage needed to fire the gas in that lamp.
If your hazard lights don't work but your turn signals do work it could be that your Hazard Lamp Flasher needs to be replaced. Your car has both a "hazard lamp flasher" and a "turn signal lamp flasher". Your "turn signal lamp flasher" is working but your "Hazard Lamp Flasher" may not be working. Buy a new "hazard lamp flasher" and install it. The hazard lamp flasher is located behind the instrument panel to the left of the steering column.
