Does higher wattage mean brighter?

What does a Watt mean? The Wattage of the light is the amount of energy it takes to produce a certain amount of light. The higher the wattage, the brighter the light, but also the more power it uses.

What is brighter 60W or 100W?

Hence 60W bulb will consume more power and glow brighter. In Short, the voltage drop across 60W bulb is more than 100W because 60W bulb has higher resistance. Hence 60W bulb will glow brighter.

Can I use 100 watt LED in a 40 watt lamp?

Can I put a 60 watt bulb in a 75 watt socket?

You can exceed the rating for equivalent watts but not actual watts. If you exceed actual watts, e.g. an incandescent 75W bulb that uses a real 75W in a socket that says max 60W then you risk possible overheating and fire. Using a light bulb with a wattage lower than the socket rating is OK.

Can I use a 60 watt bulb in a 150 watt lamp?

Yes, you can always put a lower wattage light bulb into a higher wattage rated fixture. Just don’t put a higher-wattage bulb into the lower-wattage socket, because it will draw more current than the socket is designed for, and could potentially cause overheating, melt plastic components, and start a fire.
