| I have a porch light that is also a dusk to dawn light. It takes the GU two prong cfl. Today I bought a 23 watt bulb but when I replaced the bulb I realized it was rated for a 13 watt. Is it okay to use this higher watt bulb or should I get the 13 watt? What danger would using the higher watt bulb pose? Thank you. Amy |

| "What danger would using the higher watt bulb pose?" It may not light to full brightness, and it could damage the ballast. |
