Yes. The 60-watt rating is based on the capacity of the lamp to withstand heat and electrical current. Since your actual wattage is 26 it's totally safe.

I have an old lamp. If it says that it can take a maximum 60watt bulb, does that mean that I can use a 60watt compact fluorescent bulb or one that is equivalent to 60watts (bulb package said 14watts)?

My light socket says do not use greater than a 60 watt bulb. I would like a brighter light and compact flourescent does not fit. What is the reason for the limitation? Could I use a 75 watt bulb safely?

I have a 12V auto battery (rated 525A cold crank at 32F, reserve capacity 70), and a 400Watt (800W peak) 12V dc to 120V ac converter. How long can I use this setup to power a 26W fluorescent light bulb during power outage?
