highest wattage of standard bulb

**paltik** · April 3rd, 2005 03:43 PM

ano bang pinakamalakas na wattage ng ganitong bulb? may nakita ako 27W pero parang walang pinagbago. ano bang maganda gawin para lumakas yung bigay ng bulb? masama ba pag tinaasan yung wattage? ilalagay ko sana sa rear foglamp, pero parang kulang yung liwanag ng 21W. tulong naman po thanks.

bump ko lang, this seems to be the closest to my question kasi and i didn't wanna make a new topic.

the oem pajero foglamps is 55w. what is the maximum possible wattage i can use without changing anything? one of the lamps kasi went out and i thought i'd replace em na. tia.

keep em stock james. all weather ka nalang. mura na, effective pa. anything higher and you'll really have to replace the wirings, install a relay and switch to ceramic sockets to prevent any harm

as much as possible, you'd like to keep it stock. ssaloon's advice of going all-weather is a good suggestion.

in my experience, though, was able to replace my fog's bulbs with a higher wattage all-weather bulb from Osram (not sure of the wattage tho, 85w ba or 100w?). at least 6 months installed and counting and still ok.

if the 55w all weather bulb will do it for you, ok na yun. if not, you might want to consider researching about the higher wattage bulb.

fafa miko: ahhhh thanks. will try to look at an all-weather bulb bukas.

IMM: what was the oem wattage nung sa iyo? i'm considering it as well din kasi.

pag halogen for fog lamps, may mga 100watts but you will have to change sockets as well as wirings especially if you use for long periods of time, malulusaw wirings mo.

my OEM bulb wattage is 55w. to be safe, and if you use them for long periods at a time, take KCBoy and ssaloon's advice and stick with OEM wattage.

personally, i'm taking the risk by upgrading to a higher wattage, and leaving the wirings and sockets stock. so far so good. baka swerte pa lang, or too soon, or not used as much.
