Lamp socket wattage ratings
Could someone tell me what it means when a light bulb socket says it's
rated for 660 watts? If it's true that it can handle that much; then why is it when I install a 250W incandescent bulb in a socket that is rated for 660w it starts to melt and/or the wires do too. I can't imagine how hot a 660W bulb gets (if there is such a thing), let alone compared to a 250W bulb. |
