Given that the bulb is 24 Volts means that is powered by a transformer. Installing a bulb with higher current would probably overheat the transformer resulting in excess smoke-never a good thing in electric devices.

Is there a breathing area where little if anything would need to be changed internally that is safe? (And no, I don’t want any water-cooled, heat-sinked LED setup, already researched that and it is a bad idea on many fronts.)
