Yes, eventually. The components of the light itself are only designed to handle the heat of the 45 watt bulb. The extra heat from the 60 watt bulb would eventually damage parts of the light, including the wires.

You can do without harm though it will only be 1/100th the brightness as it will only draw 1/100th the intended power, if you put a 24V bulb in a 240V socket it will burn out immediately as it would draw 100 times it's intended power.power = voltage squared / resistance


Why does light not harm us but exposing UV radiation does harm us?

Light consists of various wavelengths, with UV radiation being a subset of the light spectrum. UV radiation is more energetic and can damage our skin cells and DNA when overexposed. Our bodies have natural defenses against visible light, while UV radiation can break down these defenses and cause harm.


How are herbicides designed to harm plant cells but not human cells?

Systemic and target-specific formulations are ways in which herbicides are designed to harm plant -- not human -- cells. But in reality, it is difficult to comprehend and control all of the after- and side-effects of herbicides so environmentalists tend to speak of degrees of ambient residue and of harm to non-target organisms.

How do light bulbs generate?

They light up from the piece of wire in the middle of the light bulb. Joseph Swan invented the first light bulb. Not Thomas Edison <<>> Light bulbs do not generate they are classified as a load. Generators generate power by utilizing the magnetic flux of coils in the rotor, cutting coils of wire that are located around the generator's stator.

Don't worry... more watts available is unnecessary, but cannot harm your computer. Less watts than needed could harm your computer.
