Quoted from G-P-E:These can withstand 2 watts but not over the long term. If you were to install this new 'small form factor' resistor - it won't last as long as the original.
I disagree, because he purchased metal film resistors to replace carbon ones. They should be able to handle anything the carbon resistor did, and for a longer life span.
