Yes.
The rating of bulb fixtures is there to discourage people from using bulbs that create too much heat. Obviously, a 75 watt bulb will produce less heat than a 150 watt bulb so it's quite safe to use the smaller bulb.
If you overheat a lighting fixture you can cause premature failure and possibly even a fire.
What else can I help you with?
Can you use a 5 watt bulb in a 4 watt light?
If the socket threads of the lamp are the same then yes the bulbs can be interchanged. The 5 watt bulb will glow brighter than the 4 watt bulb.

Can you use a 150 watt bulb in a 250 watt bulb fixture?
No, it is not recommended to use a 150 watt bulb in a fixture designed for a 250 watt bulb. The fixture is designed to handle a specific wattage and using a lower wattage bulb can lead to inefficient lighting or potential safety hazards due to overheating. It's best to use the appropriate wattage bulb for the fixture.
Can you put 75 watts when 60 watts is recommended for fixture?
The fixture manufacturer goes on the side of safety. A 75 watt bulb puts out both more light and heat than a 60 watt bulb. It can make the fixture burn out sooner. For even more light, why don't you go with a florescent and get a 27 watt bulb that gives off the same amount of light as a 100 watt bulb? That will give off far less heat and be far better for your fixture?
