socket extensions ?

[highestMAN2013]

Can i use a socket extension with a max wattage of 600 into a 40 watt desk lamp using a 130w globe? Thanks for any help i know it's a noobish question i just need clarification on what socket extension actually do?

[Lenore]

If the desk lamp is only rated for 40 watts. No. You're asking to start a fire.

I don't know about socket extensions, but desk (and other) lamp wattage ratings are there for a reason.

If a bit of common sense was used on your part before making a post like that maybe you would get a better reply...

Oh sweetie. You'd know if I was being a rude bitch.

I didn't call you names, or get aggressive, or was rude. Like you have just done.

Merely stated A: using anything higher than 40w in a 40w rated lamp will likely cause a fire, and that B: that the reason manufacture's put rating labels on lamps.

It's to help protect those twits out there that think it's ok to draw 130w off a 40w rated socket.
