I got a really good deal on PC lights - 7 for $44 shipped! But they shipped 65 watt and my lights take 55 watts. I am tempted to use them anyway since it is only a 10 watt difference. Does anyone think this will hurt the light? It is a 48" double PC flat pin light.

I had a similar situation once and did some research and got a lot of feedback that it would not matter. I had no issues with mine when I went ahead and used it. Just my experience of course lights are all different and I am no expert, but worked for me.
Thanks people - the guy I got them from said I could exchange them and he'd throw in a free bulb for my troubles but I think I will keep the 65 watters. If anyone is interested, here is the listing. I plugged one in and it works perfect btw.
