<p>Not risking an inferno, but keep an eye on the wax to make sure it's not getting too hot.</p>

<p>I am going to jump in here and say the 40watt bulbs are indentical to 40watt short oven bulbs. I have never seen a higher watt bulb in that size and I do look when I am out and about.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Now, these 40watt short bulbs, at lowes and home depot they carry several lumen versions, some say ceiling fan bulb etc. Try to get one with a higher lumen, which means brighter, which could mean they get a little hotter.</p>

<p>Sometimes the frosted 40 watt bulb is a better alternative, especially in vintage lamps. Is this a new lamp or an older (US) model? If you do decide to go with a higher wattage bulb to achieve a faster warm up time, I would advise using with a dimmer. </p>
