230v is just the voltage standard. 160w max is border line for a 160w bulb, as Al say's the larger lamp shade handle's 200w. So there's some play left indi wattage

it's not my strong point either. I think if it was mine I'd use it because if it says 160w max then the manufacturer will have allowed for a wee bit more I reckon but you may want to go a bit bigger. my one is 25cm wide and 200w max but not sure the width has a lot to do with it or not, it's more the wiring i think
