ive just heard this is ok on a search here i did, as long as its not over 400w ?
i wish this were true cause i could just change to 250w for 400w lamps when the weathers hot and all my problems are over. but never tried this before cause i thought it was unsafe thing to do. what is the score guys? yinyang.gif
