Make sure that the receptacle it's being used in is CERAMIC and rated for higher wattages (ie. heat). Most dome lights have ratings, pay attention to them: the ones
rated for lower wattages do not have ceramic bases, they have plastic with cardboard inside that can melt & burn. MUST USE CERAMIC type.
Ah, very good point. I guess I take that for granted and assume people know. But good idea to remind, just in case.
