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


Compact fluorescent is the way to go... cooler and last longer, more $$
though, but in the long run probably saves $$.
