lighting question...PCs

PiscesLou · 02/06/2006, 05:39 PM

I have a PC fixture that came with 2x36 watt bulbs. I rearrange the connectors on the fixture to be able to fit 2x65watt bulbs. the length of the fixture is long enough to fit 2x96 watt PCs. if I change to 96 watt bulbs, will it power up correctly? Do I need to change anything else on the fixture to be able to recieve 96watt bulbs. TIA
