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



Should have a porcelain socket for 75 watt, or at least one rated for
75 watt. A plastic one may melt. Best not to exceed the max rating
sticker on the socket.
