Default 75w bulb in 60w socket?

hi,

we have an outdoor ceiling fan with a glass globed light kit in our screened
in porch. it takes two light bulbs. the owners manual says to use 60w bulbs.

the 60w bulbs don't throw quite enough light for reading out there at night.
is there
any danger in my using 75w bulbs instead of the 60w bulbs?

thanks,

sammy


Just use compact flouresent bulbs. They put out greater light with
lower power use.
