Ok, folks!!

Here is an update!! It appears that overdriving the bulb 2 times will only give it 50% more light. So a 32 watt will only burn at 48 instead of 56 watts.

The formula is as follows:

2xODNO (2 power leads per bulb) - ~50% increase
3xODNO (3 power leads per bulb) - ~75% increase
4xODNO (4 power leads per bulb) - ~100% increase
