| Bed makers have been doing this for years.
You take a 160W lamp and use a 180w choke ballast with it and it will outperform the same lamp with a 160W ballast.How ever your life will decrease much faster.
You can use a 160w lamp in the Suncapsule 200w system. It will tan just as good, but you will only get 350-400 hrs on them.
Ergoline does it backwards. They actually underpower alot of lamps. They use a 160w lamp and a 140w ballast. This will decrease output, but lengthen life.(not sure if they still do this) |
