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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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

u multiply your voltage times max current (amps) and this gives u max wattage.

The wattage and the output provided are the major differences between these two units.
300 watts
Yes unless you want to smoke your subs
according to the owner's manual 600 w max.
Generally electrical sockets are designed to handle a max wattage and are labeled that way. A 25 w bulb will draw more power than the socket is designed for and could result in damage to the electrical appliance and fire.
MAX Light Rail was created in 1986.

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.
