If it has been more than ten years, schedule a new inspection. This includes irons and toasters. Burning a 100-watt bulb in a lamp designed for 60 watts is a fire hazard.
Most lamps have wattage instructions written along the socket.
Never reach into water for a plugged in appliance. Unplug it first. Have the item inspected before using it again. Loose bulbs may overheat and burn shades, drapes or nearby furniture. Yanking or tugging can damage the cord wire or insulation and could cause electrical shock or fire.
