Besides, putting a different wattage bulb could cause the OBC to give you errors.

I hope that helps.
When I said more powerful,,,I should have said higher kelvin rating,,,my bad on that,,,I have read that 6000k is the ideal kelvin rating for light output,,with some blue tint in there,,,,,question,,,what bulb did you go go with,,,or does it make a difference as long as the kelvin rating is the same.!!
