I am trying to source a 75w ish Metal Halide light for one of my scapes.

So far i have only been able to find a Giesemann Nova 70w but its £306.95 :woot:

Any of you chaps know of any others?

I can find 75w Metal halide bulbs (arcadia ones) but no light units.

Could i fit a 75w bulb in a 150w light? :geek: o_O

cheers

There's some on Ebay that can be bought as either 150 or 75, it's my understanding that the fittings are the same it's simply the ballast that changes, this would ring especially true as a while back many reefers where making their own halide rigs out of security lights and simply picking a ballast that suited the wattage they wanted.
