What does ' 230v/max. 300/60W' mean - reason for question below
My parent has a pretty old Trio Leuchten mother and child lamp. It was not used for a long time, but came into use last year, using the uplighter part.
The bulb went and I replaced it with
Energy Saving Linear Halogen Lamp 230W 118mm which is equiv of 300W. I remember thinking that was a lot of wattage, but it worked. It was also cheap.
When purchasing I took my guide from the existing bulb, and I think I may have found something on Trio company website( but not now).
Anyway now 8 months later it has blown. Is this because it was cheap or I had too high wattage?
This time I have looked at the info on the 'shade' of the uplighter and it says ' 230v/max. 300/60W'
So should I now be looking for a 60W ? Don't think the owner will be happy less brightness as that is why she is using the lamp rather than central ceiling light.
What does the '300' in front of '/60w' mean ?
