receptacle wattage vs. sockets load. Lights on, please :)
Hi... I'm Ehrin
I have a light bulb issue. Originally, the ceiling receptacle in my
daughter’s room was rigged for a ceiling fan with an independent
light, both on separate pull-strings. The light part of the fan
circuit board died so I bought a new three-way 60 watt each light
fixture. Now... my question is as follows.... The original light
socket had a label that said no more than 60 watts in that socket. Can
I use all three 60 watt bulbs on this one new fixture? I used to put
100 watt bulbs in the receptacle in other rooms of my home until I
noticed they were melting the wiring here and there. Is it 60 watts
total per ceiling receptacle or 60 watts each socket off that
receptacle?
Thanks, guys!
