vertical and horizontal lamps

[dmtcorey]

hello

today there was a power outage were i live and unfortunaly i lost my 400 w lamp with the intense surge ,but luckly i got a 600w that wasent being used ,,so to cut to the chase can a lamp run both verticaly and horizontly because i only have a horizontal hood but i no the lamp was running with a vertical hood before ,hope this is a legit qestion because i dont have much experience with lamps,and i also dont have any money ether!

thanks

There is a code stamped on your bulb that will tell you what postion it works in.JK

Mine seems to work fine in either position. What's the downside to using it in the "non-official" plane? less effective? fire safety?
