Default What happens if you put 75 watt bulb in a 60 watt fixture

That's odd. Today I bought the 75 Watt flood you see in the 1st picture.
Along with 90W (larger) floods (which were too big for this lamp).

And, at the same Home Depot, I saw 200 Watt long-necked incandescent
bulbs, and 150Watt 3-way incandescent bulbs for sale ...

So, they 'might' be banned - but they're certainly still being sold.
