redoing my bathroom today. bought a light fixture with four bulbs. The previous one had only two bulbs. Both say to use 100 watt bulbs. Both have the same gauge wiring . Am I going to burn my house down going to four bulbs? I only plan on using 60 watt bulbs in it if that makes any difference. |

Quoted:
assuming it's 14 gauge wire you are GTG. ETA: the fixture wire is probably even higher gauge. Have you done much wiring I have never seen fixture wire that is bigger than the supply wiring. The smallest wire you can wire a house with is 14 gauge and most fixture wire is 16 gauge |
