Q: Can I replace a bulb with one with more watt?

JimI have a lamp (from IKEA) that had a light bulb 3W 200lm 67lm/W 26mA I bought a light bulb that says 4W=35W 230LM Can I replace with that light bulb or even with higher watt? I mean is the only difference the electricity consumption or should I be careful of something else?

I've seen burnt escutcheons, and bulbs that are really hard to take out, but how many fires are caused by improper wattage light bulbs? "The fire started at the light socket" isn't something I've ever heard.

Fires can totally start in a light socket, either from arcing across the connectors, or a poorly made lamp that fries itself, which can be made worse if the enclosure retains the heat to get hotter over time.
