Can a higher watt modeling light be used with this unit?

it is a screw-in light bulb type... probably not a great idea to put something else in other than the OEM specs but it is possible. If you put something in there that is brighter it might get hot past what the monolight was built for.

I cannot give you an answer. Going to the "contact us" on the manufacture's website is your best option.www.dlightdesigns.com I have seen the unit at the high setting. It appears to be equivalent to 50 watt or higher bulb. Hope this helps.

You can use a heat bulb with this lamp, it just can not be above 160 watts.

Yes you can do it. As long as your wattage does not exceed the rating of the transformer. The spotlights do draw a little more.

i can not recommend going higher then advertised wattage...however you can put a cfl bulb and get more output

The lamp model I have is a 650. This is a rather old lamp and I'm not sure of the wattage.

Yes you can, I use 85 watt CFL which is the same as a 450 watt standard, you must take in consideration of the extra heat, and adjust distance for umbrella use so as not to create a fire hazard. Cowboy studio has a standard medium based socket, so as long as your bulb has a medium base it will work.

Yes, I actually have put a 120v 40watt white light bulb in mine. The Infrared bulb used for a heat light still uses 120V, but it's a 250watt light bulb (thus produce high heat due to the watts). It's the voltage that matters so as long as the light bulb is rated for 120v you will be fine.

No. But each light kit has its omen transformer. You can add a couple of the lower voltage/wattage lights, but not the full 2nd kit. The lights are not of equal brightness if you do.

Yes. This particular model will take up to a 300 watt safely. Anything more powerfull may need a bigger case to run it safely

Yes, you might look at the department 56 lighting power units. They are all similar and may help you out

I would be careful of the ceiling light wattage. I blew one of these modules with a desk lamp, but I had 40watt bulbs in it and it takes 3 bulbs. 120 was too much for it. It is rated 100 watt max.

Not if that is the only light. The instructions say it cannot be used with a load less than 40 watts or more than 500. So you would either have to put in a bigger bulb or add another fixture somehow.

Based on their description, yes you can. But mine burned out with only 1200W. So in reality, you can not.

I switched from the lamps to the LED units and used the old transformer from the initial installation. Obvious much larger than necessary since these LED's are rated at 2 watts. A smaller transformer of 40 watts will work fine with plenty of reserve to add more fixtures.

Yes you can. I have standard 60 watt bulbs in mine. They give off more mood lighting. They look great!

i'm sure you could if you find one small enough. i just used a clear christmas light bulb. you can only use up to 6 watts and the screw in part is really small.hope this helps..
