My original Lamp is 132 watt. This Lamp is 150 watt. Will the 150 watt Lamp run hotter in my TV?

Sorry , I did mean to hit send , anyway the resistance is not the same so you run the rusk of overheating and this could definitely cause a number of problems. However, I am not an expert in this area, so I'm just talking from reading and experience. Hope this helps.

It depends on the size and type of light bulb. I have three in my kitchen with 200 watt bulbs. However, I had a dimmer switch installed. Therefore I can have it very low light to 600 watts. Regular bulbs will get hot, so another suggestion is to go with a good quality LED bulb. It is hard to find them in higher wattage, but they do exist. They are expensive, but use negligible electricity and last many years. As soon as I can, I plan to replace mine with LED. I know this is a lot of info, but I tried to do my homework before deciding. Hope this is helpful.

This socket is rated at 150 watt maximum so I think your good to go, however don't use a shade just the bulb that way heat will disapate.

Considering that it won't fit the tv it is designed for it probably won't fit yours either even if it is supposed to be compatable. I compared this lamp to the one I removed and it looked and measured identical, thought it just needed a little push to slide all the way it, that snapped the electrical connector mount in the tv. Tv ruined !!

someone else answered that the manufacturers spec says 660w. I use a 250w heat lamp in mine without real issue. what I take issue with is the switch mechanism. it does not hold up the way the fixture does as it is made of cheap plastic and does not seem to be replaceable in itself. my last fixture I used for about a year and a half without a switch, just loosening or tightening the bulb to turn on/off.

The lamp comes with a 40 watt bulb. My lamp has a label saying to use only a 40 watt bulb. The description on Amazon says 40w. A 25 watt bulb wouldn't put out enough heat to make the lamp work.

No, if u put a higher wattage bulb in the lamp, the wires might overheat and catch on fire. The 60 watt max is for protection of the wiring.

My experience is that if you put a higher watt bulb in you run the risk of damaging the lamp. I would stick with the two 35 watt bulbs.

first you have to check to make sure the lamp you are putting it in can handle the higher wattage

No. The 150W is the maximum. It is a safety issue as a 150W bulb gets very hot. A 40W bulb should be fine. I put a 9W LED bulb in mine and it works great.

I have 75 watt bulbs in mine and have had these lamps now for about a year. Love them.

I think the lamp is rated for 190 watts. Therefore, please be aware of fire danger.

I have a pt-50lc13 and it has worked perfect, we have had our TV for about 10 years (yes I know we need to upgrade), and we have had to replace the lamp about 4-5 times. We went thru 3 in the first 2 years, but since then we have had much better luck. They are super easy to replace, and the cost has gone way down. You should be able to return if it doesn't work??? Good luck!

I don't know. The two lamps that I purchased appear to be identical. I have not compared the actual numbers. I am happy with both.
