A: Absolutely not. Even a 10% wattage increase will melt internal reflectors, damage the cooling system, and void any safety certifications.

A: Check the voltage rating. An 18V lamp running at 12V will be dim. Also, check the reflector inside your device—it may be coated with vaporized tungsten from the previous lamp’s end of life. A: Absolutely not
