My head hurts ops: ops:

I guess I think of it this way, a watt is a watt, no matter how you slice it. Wattage is consumption, and a 32W will consume 32W, and a 28W will consume 28W. Now when we start to factor in losses at the ballast, my head starts to hurt.

BTW I just looked at AH supply's bulb listings, and they supply 36W bulbs. Those can be had at a reasonable price. I am wondering if there is a chance they would fire in a 32W application.
