I'm trying to do the same thing with overdriving my T8 32w bulbs. I'm still confuse on your answer regarding the watt usage.

So let say the brightness increase 1.7 times for a 32w.
Does that mean the watt usage is 54.4w?
Or does that mean it's using 64w?

Also, anyone know what will happen if I have a 32w ballast, and overdrive (2x32w) a 40w tube?
Will it be at 40w or higher?
