Does the wattage of a light bulb effect the amount of heat given off?
Yes, the wattage of a light bulb directly affects the amount of heat it gives off. A higher wattage bulb will produce more heat than a lower wattage bulb because wattage represents the amount of energy consumed, and most of that energy is converted to more wattage equals more heat generated. Wattage essentially measures the power consumption of a device, and in the case of a light bulb, a higher wattage means more energy is being used. The wattage rating of a light bulb is a measure of how much power is dissipated to create the light and heat that radiates from the bulb. Higher wattage means more power is used and that means more energy is radiated as light and heat.lower wattage bulbs are cooler. Only a tiny percentage of the energy coming out of a light bulb is light, the rest is heat.
Will a higher wattage hps bulb work in a ballast that came with a lower wattage bulb?
A higher wattage HPS bulb may work with a ballast that is rated for a lower wattage bulb , but may appear to be dim and will not produce the rated light output. It is best to match ballast and bulb accordingly.
Can bulb wattage safely exceed that which is recommended on the fixture?
No, it is not safe to exceed the recommended wattage on a fixture. The wattage rating indicates the maximum amount of power that the fixture is designed to handle safely. Exceeding this wattage can cause overheating, fire hazards, and damage to the fixture. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations for bulb wattage.

Can you convert an existing flush mount ceiling light into a recessed light?
Sure. Get a recessed light that is designed to be installed in "old Work". You must hav eenough room in ceiling to contain the recessed light. There may be some issues in some locations where the recessed fixture may overheat if for instance there is insulation around the fixture. Light should have an over temp cutoff. There should be a template with recessed light and a built in box to wire in the power from the old light. If you carefully cut out the sheetrock in ceiling according to the template dimensions, you will be able to use the piece you remove to repair the hole should there be no room for the recessed light. If there is attic access where the new light will be installed, you may be able to use a "new Work" light fixture since you can mount it from above. Go to someplace like Home Depot or Lowes and see what they have available.
Why does the ceiling fan work but the light does not?
The ceiling fan works because it is powered by a separate motor, while the light may not work due to a burnt-out bulb, faulty wiring, or a problem with the light switch.
Why do my light bulbs get really hot and go out then when they are cooled they work again when the max watt is not exceeded.?
