I picked up a surplus yard light called Electripak SV-175M thinking that
it was 175 watts.Â* It uses a mercury vapor bulb, but the bulb inside
appears to be 125 W.Â* Since I want to use 175 W mercury vapor instead,
is it possible to swap out the medium base for mogul base and use the
175 W mercury vapor bulb?Â* It has an H42 ballast, no capacitor.Â* Thank you.
Once the ballast is changed, any chance the 175W bulb will overheat in a
fixture ?designed? for 125W?
