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



I am using 2 100w equivalent Daylight CF's in my office and it is quite
nice. The fixture is rated for 2 60w incandescent bulbs. It takes less
than a minute to reach full brightness.
