bulb body say is 60W, but pack say is 65W, Why? which is true!

Guessing the bulb figure is correct -- only the manufacturer can answer this definitively - not an end user

This bulb is listed as 55/65 watts by Philips, or the same as OEM. It puts out more power as light, meaning less as heat (total power is heat energy + light energy, if light energy goes up then heat energy goes down) so should produce slightly less heat within the headlight housing as compared with OEM (since more of the energy is going out the front of the headlight as light).

I am pretty sure that I have only ever used 60watt bulbs. no problems so far

On the bulb it indicates it is a 45W 120V bulb. You can find this at a box sized hardware store like Home Depot or Lowes.

I received the bulb as it is pictured ( too bad they did not ROTATE it to show the labeling. ) 110 - 130V 50/60Hz 60 W 5500 K MADE in CHINA 13108WORKS GREAT !

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

have 2 - 1 for a 40w and the other for 80w bulbs. Think the spec requires 30w min load.

I don't know about the bulb you have. this other one is a 60W candelabra type bulb that is about 50% brighter than a normal 60W bulb.

yes - the 60 watt max is the amount of current drawn whereas the 65 watt OUTPUT equivalent of this bulb only speaks to the light it produces - as yu can see it only draws 10.5 watts to operate.

It is 35w. 55w are definitely brighter as they use up more energy, however they have less life on them and could sometimes get too hot for your headlight housing. I would stick with 35w as this is the norm.

As i recall, cfls at 24w generate 1500 lumens. So 60watts should be around 3500-4000@1ft.

I think the label on the fixture says 60 watts. I used an LED 60W equivalent ( I think about 9 watts) and get plenty of light from it.

It appears to be 60 watts, as shown here: http://www.greenelectricalsupply.com/13-watt-gu-24-cfl-light-bulbs.aspx

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.

I ordered 2 of these, one was dead on arrival, which I returned. The other worked well in response to your question. It is a bit bright though, being 60W equivalent (40 would be better)

It does not note the wattage on the light. people at Lowes w we chose a 60 watt bulb. It has been operating well

The sticker on the outside says "E26 MAX 60W". We put in a standard bulb and it works fine; we've had the chandelier for a few months and love it!
