Install the proper wattage bulbs in your fixtures
Most ceiling mounted light fixtures are rated for 60 watt bulbs, or
less, because of the amount of heat they produce. If you’re using bulbs
with higher-than-recommended wattage, your light fixture cannot
adequately dissipate the extra heat the stronger bulb produces. That,
in turn, chan cause the sheetrock in your ceiling to bake along with
house wires in the electrical box. Just to be on the safe side, write
down the proper bulb size for each light fixture or lamp in your home
and keep that list in a safe place. That way, when it comes time to
replace a burned out bulb, you have a ready source of reference.
