I have a light fixture that has more then one socket can I just put one 100W light bulb in rather then use 4 60W lights?

Actually maybe not. There should be a sticker somewhere near the fixture that gives the maximum wattage. If it says 60, don't exceed that.

There is a sticker on it and it does say sixty watt max but its on the base and not the individual sockets. So does that mean that in reallity is sends out power for a 120W but splits it in half with 60W going to each socket? Icemantrek 1 month ago .

THe issue isn't the total amount of power It's that the sockets themselves may not be built for the additional wattage and heat for a 100w. I'll grant that it's unlikely to be a problem, and I have known hundreds of people who put a 100 into a 60, but it's a theoretical possibility.

I recommend against it. If you don't want as much light, maybe use 2 60 watt bulbs, but the concern with a higher wattage bulb is that it can generate a hot spot, and possibly damage the fixture.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
