[APD] Lighting

["Randy Pullen" <RPullen at waterpik_com>]

I currently have a power compact with two 96 watt bulbs. I am using
only
one bulb on a timer for 10 hours. This produces 2.5 watts per gallon.
I
am interested in raising the light level slightly, but I do not want
to
jump up to 5 watts per gallon.
Would it be acceptable to put the second bulb on a second timer and
have the second bulb on for a couple of hours with the first bulb
during
the start of the 10 hour period.
I was told that my light fixture has a 96 watt ballast and a lower
watt
bulb would burn out quickly????
Thanks for your help.
Randy
