Light bulb safety

Lisa Miles
Hi all


Asking for a friend who needs to change a light bulb in their new home.


The current light bulb in the ceiling pendant is a 40w (28w halogen) bulb but they find it too dim.

Can they safely swap that out for a 60w (42w halogen)?


There's no rating stickers or information of any on the light fitting itself so they don't want to put in a higher rated bulb if it may overheat and cause a fire.

    I have been using a lot of 12W Led lamps from CPC, they are so much better in all ways than halogen, and seem at least as bright as a 100W tungsten. They are still doing internet ordering and seem to be the cheapest Wholesale source. The Pro-elec make seem reliable and effective and quite cheap. Code LP11038. Not advertising just a good product. Around a quid, so cheaper than the few remaining tungsten types!
