Well, if you are pulling 55w bulbs on the same circuit, then I can see how it would have 9 volts. As amperage increases, voltage decreases. Simple electricity 101. You are pulling a higher load on with the 55w bulbs causing a voltage drop. I would either use a relay to fire the bulbs, or change them back. You are putting stress on something....
