Generally, plastic lampholders take up to a 60 watt lamp.

Porcelain lampholders will accommodate 100 watt lamps.

IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB

SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY

REFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.

If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power

at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND

always use an electrician's test meter having metal-tipped probes

(not a simple proximity voltage indicator)

to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

What wattage of bulb do you need to fit in a socket that has 120volts?

To calculate the wattage of bulb you need, you can use the formula P = V x I where P is power in watts, V is voltage in volts, and I is current in amperes (assuming a standard voltage of 120V). If the current is not provided, you can use the typical current for a household circuit of 15A. So, for a 120V socket, with a current of 15A, the maximum wattage of bulb would be 120V x 15A = 1800 watts.


Is the total bulb wattage for all three bulbs or each bulb when the sign says use type c lamp 60 watts bulb max?

The total bulb wattage refers to the maximum wattage for each bulb, not the combined wattage for all three bulbs. Therefore, when the sign specifies a maximum of 60 watts for each bulb, you should not exceed 60 watts for any single bulb used in the fixture.


Can you use 110v chandler in 220v country by changing a 220v light bulb The chandler said max 100w light bulb so do you need to use a smaller watts of a 220v light bulb?

The light bulb should still have the same limit - 100 watts, because the limit is set practically by how much heat they produce. You need to make sure the wiring in the chandelier is correctly insulated for the higher voltage.


What is the max watts for headlamps on a 98 olds intrigue The old lamps were 51w for the low beams and 60 for the high The new ones are 100w for the high and 80 for the low?

By exceeding the designed wattage by that much, you risk burning a fuse, burning the wiring harness, or in some cases melting the headlamp assembly and socket (this last one happened to my wife's car).


Can you put a 100w bulb in a 75w lamp?

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

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.?

Some Recessed lights have a thermal cutoff. (Some flush mount ceiling lights too) Use a smaller wattage bulb.That is all that can be said without more info.
