Real situation, I bought some High Pressure Sodium fixtures that were labeled "35 watts" but the inductor was for a 50 watt bulb. Not knowing any better at the time, I added something like 12 turns (or was it 20 turns?) to the inductor. Will this put more or less stress on the iron? By stress, I mean overheating caused by too much magnetism, and you must consider that the goal of reducing current was accomplished.
If you need numbers, I can probably look this up in an old notebook, but I think the math can be done without specifics.
