[Jukebox-list] ami c top lamps wattage

Chris,
  Very interesting--I knew that all flour. lamps affect certain types of plastics, and have read instructions on CFL's that say not to operate them in an enclosed fixture, but I assumed (I know, NEVER assume) it was the heat factor on the ballast--Ron Rich

better, but have some way to go.

And as mentioned earlier, the UV and heat in an enclosed area will
deteriorate things rapidly. I found out the hard way a couple of years back
when installing one in a ceiling fixture. The heat factor was less than a
100 watt bulb, but the insulation in the wires turned extremely
brittle-almost as if it aged 40 years in 2 years.

I'll answer that one.... CFL=Compact Fluorescent Lamp.

migh check out CFL's for that application-- A 13 watt puts out the aprox
same lumens as a 60 watt type A bulb.

this him self (looks good, but maybe too much on the blasting). Anyway, I
just bought a set of 25w candelabra (pointy) style bulbs that are thinner
than the globe style, so maybe since they are not too much higher in wattage
and further away from the cardboard, there won't be a fire? What do you
think? I won't drill holes in the original door. I'll just leave it out or
make a replacement. I haven't installed them yet to see if they look better
than the small 15's or not. Thank you, Rick.
