Can you put 75 watts when 60 watts is recommended for fixture?
The fixture manufacturer goes on the side of safety. A 75 watt bulb puts out both more light and heat than a 60 watt bulb. It can make the fixture burn out sooner.

That will give off far less heat and be far better for your fixture?
Can you use a 10 watt 12 volt instead of a 5 watt?
