Hi everyone. I'm still working through yet another round of glass tube failure under warranty issues with Shenhui and decided in the meantime I get an 80w Coletech tube. I had read on here that generally the feeling was you could use a larger power supply on a smaller tube and not vice versa.
But, after ordering of course, I re-tread those posts and the difference was 100w to 80w ( or similar) and not so extreme as a 150 w to 80w. The milliamperes I can control by starting low and moving up slow, but reading the documentation by RECI, the triggering voltage is the big variance. So I'm wondering if that will potentially blow my tube even if I can dial down the power output. (assuming DHL hasn't already, they neglected to leave it at the airport as I requested).
Anyone know exactly how these work? Thanks in advance!
