Bulb For Lamp

[beast 1,884]

alright i know i'm thick before you lot start, but heres the question.

i have just been given an old but good condition lamp, clulite. i've rewired it as some of the wires were a bit loose, but the beam seems just a bit dull.

its got a 50w 12v battery in, can i change this for a 100w 12v? or will this damage the battery or blow the fuse or something? i am guessing that a higher watt bulb would drain the battery quicker?

 

its not going to get much use from me to be honest, but nice to know its there as a back up, might even flog it if i dont use it much

 

thank you

100w bulb will be fine but Like you said will drain the battery quicker. If it's an old bulb just might want replacing, I have a 50w in my clulite and it's bright and does the job.
