I’ll tell you, if it’s a light where a maximum of 40 watt incandescent lamp should be pure, then you can screw a LED in it relatively unthinkable, which is as bright as a 70 watt incandescent lamp!

it’s about the thermic! When you screw a 70 incandescent lamp in, it can be that it gets too hot. at best, it’s breaking faster than planned. At worst, the socket or the lamp shade melts or it begins to burn.

40 W the Maximum permissible electrical power.
That’s why it’s 40 W and not 70 W.

In all-use incandescent lamps (“ bulbs”), 90% of the power is converted into heat. At 40 W it is 36 W, at 70 W it is already 63 W. This can lead to destruction of the components and also to fire.

Screw an LED light source in. One with 10 W can already bring as much light as a 75W bulb (e.g. 1055 lumens).

By the way: plastic mounts are only allowed for max. 60 W.
If they become too hot, then they will crumb and the lamp is over.

It’s not forbidden to turn on his brain, and then you get that if there is max. 40W says it doesn’t stop. But you can always get dressed and think that the sticker is just an advanced carnival gag.

… sorry – but you can only give such answers to such questions!

It doesn’t mean she immediately gives up the mind. Depending on how long the lamp is used, it can be after days or weeks.

No Max 40W is Max 40W. If you are on the highway 100km/h you can not drive 160 km/h!

The frame or cover could take damage because of the heat or it could burn.

Buy ne LED and is good.

But the rules are regulations and those who do not have to face consequences. ;

That is true.

The frame is overheated and deformed, there is a short circuit or fire. But as long as your own house is, of course, you can risk it. It’ll go wrong.

If the operation of the lamp is only up to max. 40W is safe, then you should not go higher to your own safety.

In this case, you must not exceed 40 watt electrical connection power.

However, you could give a 100W equivalent LED lamp in, which has electric only about 15W.

You can still use a 70 watt bulb.

Not if it’s supposed to be a classic incandescent lamp that’s forbidden and barely gotten. They’re getting too hot.

If you screw in an LED with a corresponding screw thread, there is no limit, because they won’t be hot.

Then put a matching LED lamp in.

Max 40 Watt is on it. So it’ll be like that.

Just take LED. Then it doesn’t matter. They won’t be hot.

I wouldn’t exceed the 40w, so the frame can melt.

I tried the bullshit out of interest. The incandescent lamp becomes too hot and, on the one hand, can overload the socket or brings the lamp housing to overheat. Depending on the one or the other, you have a beautiful fire in the house.

If something happens, it’s your responsibility. In addition, these incandescent lamps are as inefficient as a burst rubber doll.

That’s why I knocked all the light bulbs together months ago and replaced them with LED.

A 70 watt pear gets hotter, that could hurt the cover.

Can you drive 70 if the speed limit 50 is specified?

A predetermined maximum value expresses the same in every situation and example.

Not really, there is a specification “maximum value x” and you can’t exceed it.

No, I don’t want to make the lamp or socket could be hot and start collapsing.

The Watt data refers exclusively to incandescent lamps and their assumed heat development.

Which 70 watt bulb do you want to use?

I don’t know a 70 Watt LED lamp.

ronnyarmin

These LEDs have 6.5 watts. You Identification the brightness of a 60 watt incandescent lamp. That’s right there.

ronnyarmin

An LED with 70 watts would have the brightness of a 600 watt bulb. Why do you need that, and what should be commercial about it? Let’s see a link. If they are commercially available, they would have to.
