How much do you think 125% over the maximum matters?

125% of the maximum.
Seems to me, 25% is within the safety zone of ????

I find it hard to believe the safety zone is zero.
I suspect it's more like double the rating (i.e., it's
probably more like 60 x 2 = 120 Watts) but I'm just
guessing.
That's why I asked.
You're not the brightest light on the tree are you?
