I have an old ceiling fan with a light fixture on it.
It says 60w or less and obviously, this was for incandescent. Can I exceed the 60w limit if I'm using an LED bulb? In other words, can I install a 100w equivalent LED bulb since it is really only 14w?
Also, I'm tired of the E-11 halogen bulbs for ceiling fans. Those bulbs are super hot, expensive and don't last. Can I change to an LED equivalent? I guess what I'm wondering is if I can/should focus on the lumen equivalents and not the watts?
Thanks.
