DD UV Steriliser Bulb Replacement Upgrade

[Jaybrandnew]

Hey guys
I have a 39w DD UV steriliser, and as part of my maintenance I am swapping out the UV bulb and sleeve. My question is this.. Can I replace the current 39w bulb with an 80w bulb. The sleeve appears to be marketed as a 39/80w sleeve, so appear to be interchangeable. Can the bulb simply be upgraded? The housings appear to be the same size. Anyone else done this?
Many thanks
James

Cannot speak to the sleeve, but I believe that the ballast is bulb specific.

You need the correct ballast
