Sometimes the things you ignore or overlook becomes the cause of an electrical fire such as light fixtures, lamps and light bulbs. The number one leading cause of electrical fires is caused by installing a bulb with a wattage that is too high for the lamps and light fixtures. Experts say that it is mandatory to check the maximum recommended bulb wattage on any lighting fixture or lamp and never go over the recommended amount. As we always say when it comes to electrical fire safety ignorance is never bliss
We all know that light bulbs heat up when used and light bulbs that are in enclosed fixtures are also at high risk for fire because heat is not able to dissipate as well. Bulbs inside a glass scone or globe can be more prone to fire than other bulbs.
Incandescent Bulb | CFL Bulb | LED Bulb | |
Wattage | 40 W | 9 W | 7 W |
Lumens | 550 lumens | 550 lumens | 400 lumens |
Lumens/Watt(Efficacy) | 14 lm/W | 61 lm/W | 57 lm/W |
