    Ah yes. Make sure you have a dimmer. And it does take a while to get the perfect temps. Also bulbs tend to not produce as much heat over time, so you will be constantly adjusting the dimmer little by little.

    The housing unit for the the light bulb *should* have a tag on it indicating max wattage acceptable for use.
