Can you use 75w bulb in 60w socket?

LED bulbs that deliver 800 lm are considered to have equal light output to standard 60W bulbs. If your fixture is rated to accept 60 Watts, you can safely use 75W, 100W, or even 125W equal bulbs (which all draw less than 50 Watts of power) instead.Click to see full answer. Thereof, what happens if you use a 75 watt bulb in a 60 watt socket?If your socket says not to exceed 60-Watts, it is referring the dangers of high heat output associated with incandescent bulbs. However, LED’s do not emit dangerous levels of heat. Thus, if your fixture says “not to exceed 60-Watts” but you want to use a 100-Watt equivalent LED bulb, this would be safe to do so.Likewise, what happens if I put a 60 watt bulb? Higher wattage alone doesn’t make the bulb burn out faster, but the rating partially has to do with heat/fire. For example, the fixture may only be designed to handle the heat of a 40W. Put in a 60W and the heat increases, there’s not enough ventilation, and the bulb prematurely fails due to the higher heat. Subsequently, question is, can I put a 60w bulb in a 100w socket? As Engineer said, 60w bulbs in a socket rated at 100 will be fine, as long as voltage is the same.Can I put a 60w bulb in a 40w socket?Putting a 60W bulb in a 40W socket, probably won’t cause a problem, but you won’t get better brightness.
