Thats the best way to go man play it safe and use the correct wattage on everything . As an electrician there are things that i,ll do that is different , but rather not have someone else do it because people might not know what problems to look for . Good luck brother !

I once accidently ran a 600 watt bulb at 1000 watts. I ran it like that for several weeks 24x7. Didn't have any problems but def wouldn't reccomend it.
Also ran a 120 watt ballast at 240 volts, that lasted about 2 seconds until it started smoking and making a strange noise
