I recently replaced a 2-bulb ceiling track light in one bedroom with the newer circular "flush-mounted" type, glass globe - 2 bulbs, 40 watts max. This flush-mounted glass gets extremely hot when the light is on for half an hour or more and I've thought of putting in 25 watts but not enough light. I noticed that inside, where the bulbs rest, there is a heat insulator so the manufacturer must feel the bulbs do get hot but I'm a worrywart. Should I be in this case?
Answer:
You need not worry as long as there is a "CSA" stamp on the fixture and you comply with the maximum sized bulb it suggests you install.
