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

I put a halogen on a dimmer once. It appeared to dim and work fine,
although I decided the dimmer got near zero use so i replaced the
dimmer with a regular switch and installed CFLs

Getting rid of incandescents saves power and avoids power companys
building more power plants that cost big bucks and would impact every
rate payer.......

The LED bulbs in new RVs look really great
