    Recessed lighting
    How can I determine the maximum wattage for a recessed lighting fixture? The fixture has a sticker inside listing wattages of 60, 75, 100 and 150. Does this mean it can handle any of these bulbs?

    Easy answer is yes. Make certain that on the higher wattages they do not specify a certain trim or bulb type.
