Why will it damage the bulb to run it at lower wattage, I'm wondering?
Won't it just burn dimmer to have less electricity flowing through it?

And why are the assumptions about wiring "dangerous?" That's how a 55
watt bulb is supposed to be wired, according to the diagram I
eventually found on their site...

Yes, if you setup a 96w fixture and put a 55w bulb in it, you will burn your
bulb, quickly. Second, wiring isn't something to be played with,
seriously... I can reference several citations from my fathers journal from
when he was an asst. cheif of the covington, ky fire dept, where home wiring
was suspect... several deaths, all preventable.... FWIW
