Change of PL bulb from 8w to higher
Hi friends......
Would like to enquire on the above. I have a 8W PL 1ft light set. Is there anyway i can modify the lightset to take a higher wattage of PL light? For example can I just buy a 13W PL bulb and fix it to the lightset? Will it explode or something like that? Or do i need to open up the lightset and change the ballast or something? |

The ballast should be of higher Watt.

If you use your current ballast then your 13w can run but it will be of a lower intensity.
Best is to switch the ballast as well. |
