I've just started my first grow and it will still be a few days before I get the building materials for my grow box, so I'm temporarily using a cabinet and currently have 2-14 w cfl's in it. I have 5 seedlings and want to put more light into the cab, but the only fixture I have is one that I've taken out of an old aquarium lid. The lid says it's rated for 25 watts, which I thought was fine since my cfl's are only 14 w. To my surprise, the fixture actually has two places for bulbs. My question is; will it be okay to exceed the wattage it's rated for by just the small amount it would be, or will this be unsafe?
