I agree with the previous comment, if your fixture is like ours, these are rated at 100 watts or less if I remember correctly. You will need to contact a licensed electrician to replace the fixture with a suitable one and also make sure the insulation around this is correctly installed. I have no idea if there is a suitable LED based bulb, but this might be a suitable alternative.
