If it comes as a 70W light then a 70W bulb is the ONLY wattage you can use. Not lower not higher.

wattage has to match not interchanging wattage bulbs with lower or higher. A 400 watt ballast runs only a 400 watt bulb no smaller no larger.You can buy 400 watt digital switchables for about $99 new or 600 watt digital switchables for $119 at Maryland Hydroponics .Heres pics of some of thier digital 600 watters great products.weight about 5 lbs,overclocked so they out put close to 640 watts each run about 55 dgrees and are instant on and silent..2 600 watters on a home made tandem light mover arm

I think it would help but why not save it, add a little to it and buy one of the ones FilthyFletch recommended. Those would make a big difference.
