Ty175 Headlight Wattage

The headlight blew on my TY175 so I ordered a 6 volt 25W/25W replacement.

However the shop have sent me a 6 volt 35W/35W bulb.

 

According to my calculations the 25W bulb uses 4 amps and the 35W bulb uses 6 amps.

 

My Haynes manual says the unregulated AC circuit relies on the correct wattage bulbs being used.

 

Has anyone else used 35W bulbs?  Is it that critical?

    Problem half solved - the shop have now sent a 25w bulb.

    I'd still like to understand the electrics tho....
