135 watt fluro bulb in softbox?

Hey guys,

I've got some softboxes that I'm not sure about the maximum wattage it can take.

I want to buy some 135 watt fluro bulbs for it, but I've only ever used 30 watt fluros (CFL) in it.

Worth giving the 135s a shot? Or is that a fire risk?

Cheers,
Brad
 
Got a few answers from people I know.

Consensus seems to be that it may reduce the life of the bulb if it's running too hot, without adequate heat dissipation, but otherwise shouldn't be a risk.
