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

If the lamp sockets are ceramic (china-like) material you may get away
with it.

Never mind the sockets -- what about the fixture wires?

Don't do it.
