No, fixture manufacturers recommend maximum wattage light bulbs to prevent overheating of fixture’s sockets and wiring. However, if you need a brighter light it is possible to use the Longlite QL-3 power controllers in conjunction with a Halogen light bulb. The QL-3 power control system provides the same amount of visible light at reduced wattages.
