Default another question on wattage

Hi all,

Thanks for the clarifications with my question about energy saving
bulbs and wattage.

And while we are still on the subject, I would like to ask one more
related question...

I once bought a fixture made in Poland (I live in the US). The seller
told me I can use 60W bulbs. The fixture turned out to be marked for
use with 75W bulbs, and there was a sticker on each socket telling me
to use 40W bulbs.

I use 40W bulbs to be on the safe side, but...

What is the issue here? 220V versus 110V? Or something else?

Thanks,
Arkadiy
