what do these bulbs mean by 60/55? what's the 60 mean?

H4 are dual filament bulbs. The 60/55 refers to wattage. These have 55w low beams and 60w high beams.

It's a standard bulb. 55 watt is the normal low beam, an 60 is the normal high beam wattage. You can buy a bulb with more high beam watts, but your bulbs will burn out much quicker.

60 refers to high beam wattage; 60 is standard and as high as you should go in a replacement bulb without installing a relay. 55 is normal low beam wattage. Stay with a 60/55 watt replacement bulb for highway use. In a good headlight unit this will be bright enough and you will not risk blowing fuses or damaging a switch. Hope this helps.

Sorry for the delay. I had to find an incandescent bulb. I converted my house to CFLs years ago, but I found a 40W in the garage door opener. I'm not sure if it's the same size as a 60W. The LED bulb is about 3/8" - 1/2" longer than the 40W. Otherwise, they're the same diameter and pretty close in shape. The light from the LED bulb is very directional. If you put one in a table lamp, you'll light the ceiling more than the table. I tried one in a horizontal, single socket ceiling fixture and only lit up the one side of the room that the bulb faced. Best to have a dual-socket ceiling fixture. Sorry for the delay. I had to find an incandescent bulb. I converted my house to CFLs years ago, but I found a 40W in the garage door opener.

I use 60 Watt Bulbs no problem. I have been using the same sockets for 6 months and have around 15-20 hours AT LEAST on each. I wasn't able to find any label on the bulb itself or packaging that says what wattage it is rated for.

60 Watt Chandelier bulbs. I just bought this fixtures.. Looks beautiful. There is a considerable amount of assembly. So you should think before you buy it.

They are daylight balanced at 5500K. It's written on the side of the bulbs. :)

60/55W but the bulbs are not Blue at all. If you want Blue bulbs don't buy them.

The information in the box called for up to 60 watt bulbs, so that is what we used. It looks a lot brighter than 60 watt bulbs because the globe has so much area for light diffusion. We had much smaller lights that were close to the ceiling that used 60 watt bulbs & the first thing we noticed was how much brighter the hallways were with the larger shade. The top area of the shade difuses toward the ceiling as well. I think you will be surprised at how much more light these shades deliver.

35 watt hid bulbs are commonly used in 55 watt systems they reduce lifespan of bulbs by 20-30%

I wish I could answer this for you but I received bulbs totally different than what I thought they were. I have no idea how to use these, sorry.

So the dimmer features works on percentages, 100, 75, or 50, 50% is too low at 300 watts and 75% would be to high at 450 watts....you worried about heat with the 600 or u got a better quality bulb at 400?

candelabra base bulbs... could be 60 watt max.. But to be safe 40 watt would work

we use a 60 watt bulb. I started out using a 45 but just tried 60 because the 45 wasn't light enough. No trouble using a 60 watt.

I have six of these lights on my house so I had to figure this out sooner or later. Manual says its a 100 watt halogen 78mm T-type bulb. What that converts to is 78mm, 3.070 inches or 3-1/8 inch double ended halogen bulb. I just order my bulbs at 1000bulbs.com

Hi Harold, I really donj't know. The bulb I used was the energy saver (the spiral kind) that give off 60 watts and only uses 13. Hope this helps. Best Regards, Dave

I think it means R39 OR R12. If you Google for either of those, not both at the same time, you'll find loads of bulbs that look sort of right though you'll want to compare closely. Or you might find it at the local hardware store.

The beam on the included bulbs is much more than 90 degrees.You can look around for different MR16 LED bulbs to find what you need. I use LED bulbs in these and they're fine --- rated for 50watts. I don't see why the housing would limit a 60degree bulb.
