I have power compacts with 4 65W bulbs so would that be the max that it could support or could I put brighter bulbs in there. It's USA orbit light. thanks in advance. Dave
 
Yeah, switching bulb types and wattages generally does not succeed with flourescent setups.
 
to get the best results from the units the bulb wattage needs to me matched with the balast wattage, upping the bulb wattage won't do any good as it will only get the wattage the balast is supplying any way. it will shorten the life of the bulb and i dout it will be as bright as a correctly matched bulb,
