I'm replacing all of our light bulbs with energy saving bulbs. Some of the lamps say 'maximum 25w', but can I use an 11w energy saving equivalent (which would give me 60w) ?
Same applies with light shades - some have a maximum limit but can I go higher with energy saving bulbs ?
I am assuming that the wattage relates to how much heat is given out by the bulb - so does a lower wattage energy saving bulb mean it will be cooler therefore I can have more light ?
Cheers.
