Yes, if you use a bulb with a wattage that's higher than the lamp is rated for, you have a significant risk of fire. Don't do it!!! You can use multiple lower wattage bulbs in different lamps if you need to, but don't risk burning your house down over this.
What I like to use are desk lamps with snake necks; that way you can adjust the height really easily above the plants, while not having to worry about mounting the lamps anywhere. All you need is enough floor space in your grow box to accomodate the base.
