Why won't it work? Remember the purpose of a fuse is to protect the wiring
and equipment in the circuit. If the 100w bulb draws 7.6 amps it is below
the rated current carrying capacity of the wire. Also I ran 140w bulbs in
my 72 bus and never blew a fuse or wire and didn't have unusually short
bulb life. My advice is go ahead and use them. IMHO
