Yuckio:
Such a lucid reply; too bad you're about a week too late to be relevant. Ed "yukio" wrote in message a... What a bunch of " DIMWITS" , deliberate pun intended. The answer to the question is a 60 watt lamp (ie) the fixture is rated to dissippate 60 watts of power without becoming uncomfortably HOT . Any higher loads would create a potential fire hazzard ! A 88 watt rated 100 W-emulating bulb is still 88 watts ! Most of the previous replies are a study in obfuscation ! Yukio Ed Price wrote in message news:u8GEa.56035$Dr3.459@fed1read02... wrote in message ... I wonder why so many lamps are rated 60W. I have a lot of 100W and 150W bulbs in areas where I work. I mean, why should a mostly-metalic goosneck desk lamp say 60W? What if I put an 88-W-arated 100-W-emulating bulb in it? |
