I recently bought a lamp that takes 3 bulbs, but the manual says to only use 60-watt bulbs. I bought 3 CFL's for the lamp that are 100w. Is this safe to do or am I playing with fire, literally?
Always ignore the equivalent rating, it's completely irrelevant to plant growing. Just means it puts out the same amount of lumens as a 100w incandescent, which are one step up from a candle and a picture of the sun.
