Fouresent Lightbulb

[hankhill]

i just got a magnifying glass lamp that is supposed to use a 22 watt circular bulb. is it ok to use a higher watt bulb, maybe a 30 watt? the reason i ask
is i'm having a problem finding a 22 watt in my area.

thanks for any help

no problem as long as the physical size isn't too big and the secondary current on the tube matches the output of the ballast.
