Michael,
It would be better for us to sell this unit at 18,000 watts, then 36,000 watts. Because not everybody has 100/125 amp breakers to spare in their power supply. But do to all the adjust abilities of different power levels, and how the triac board works we must use the higher wattage lamps. Not real sure how to answer your question, but I have done some general testing with a 5.0 solar meter using a 600 watt lamp, compared to a 1200 watt lamp. And measuring at the same distance away from the filter glass the readings from the 1200 watt lamp was a much higher reading, by almost 60 mw. Maybe Don can let us know why this is?? I would only guess because of the wattage. The UVB stayed the same.
