If I overclock my lightbulb, I know it will be brighter, but can someone tell me of there experiences of just how bright I can make this thing without it poping, and how will it effect the life of my lightbulb?

If I install my lightbulb into more than one socket but only actively use one socket at a time do I need to buy another license? and what do I do if my boss doesn't let me purchase a second license?
