- I purchased a ceiling fixture that uses a 300W halogen.
- I would like to use a 500W halogen instead. The fixture
- is glass and brass and is about a foot from the ceiling
- with lots of air flow. Is there any reason for not testing
- the 500W and monitoring the resulting heat or am I foolish
- to not follow the manufacturers guidlines?
-
- In general what advice do you give about installing higher
- power illumination than the manufacturer suggests?
