bulbs for the Zen lite

[Selfmade]

Hello,

is it important to use bulbs with 120 Volts or may I use 230 Volt bulbs, too?
E.g. when using a 300 Watt bulb and a 60 Volt rail the current is 5 amps und it doesn´t matter if i use 120 Volt or 230 Volt lamps.

Isn´t it?

You can use 230V bulbs but the wattage will need to be four times higher. See the previous thread that I started on this topic:

Just parallel four times as many at the same wattage rating.
