I do think the 13W will be safe, but maybe on the edge for longevity. I try to derate 50%, sometimes more in tube gear. See my other reply below also...

Sounds like I will be mounting this sucker to the chassis. Or should just add a diode? I got whole bunch of diodes in my hands as well.

Thanks again.

  Add a diode? You would need more that one to drop 45 volts.
  45/.7 = 64 diodes! Sort of impractical.
