Is it possible to use a LED bulb instead of Incandescent bulb? When we talk about replacing an incandescent bulb with LED bulb , one question comes in everyone's mind: Is it possible to use a LED bulb that has higher wattage equivalent than the fixture I have? Well the answer is Yes, as far as the LED bulb uses less wattage than your fixture. If you see the label states "100 watt LED equivalent" it does not mean that the LED bulb is using 100 watts, it means the bulb produces an amount of light (Lumens) equivalent to a 100 watt incandescent bulb. When your socket says do not exceed 60 watts, it means the dangers of high heat output is associated with Incandescent bulbs. LEDs do not discharge the dangerous levels of heat. Thereby, if the fixture states "not to exceed 60 watts" and you want to use a 100 watt equivalent LEDbulb , this remains safe to do. Why LEDs are so much efficient? Because LED bulbs or tubes don't use direct he...
