Replacing lamps with higher watts, is that ok? - Page 3 - tanTALK

People aren't thinking that far in. Just does it fit and does it turn on. If people are looking to half *** something don't make it anything more than that.

Ok... so why are you spelling lamp with a period after the "L"?

In some beds it will not come on either. I know we did it once by mistake. Next time I will be more technical with my answer.

I was also wondering about the lamp l.amp spelling

i would suggest using something that is energy efficient. that way they will last longer.

cause if you spell lamp with no "." it will appear as a link and actually will be one. which actually doesn't make sense since the link takes you to supras website.. hmmm?

It used to go elsewhere.

I apologise if this slightly off topic. I understand what Brian was saying about the ballast controlling the lamp.
But, an ergoline engineer once told me that the ballast normally has a leeway of roughly 10%, as in, say you had a 200w ballast running a 225w lamp then the lamp would normally be running at 220w. Is this correct? Or would the lamp still only be getting 200w?
