Hi Guys
I swapping my scape to a lower light scape and am currently running an Arcadia Series 4 pendant at 150w metal halide...
I'm thinking of changing the bulb to a 70w bulb and was wondering whether the unit will blow the bulb as rated at 150w, does anyone know if i can get away with with a 70w bulb in a 150w unit? (normally i would assume this is ok as you can run a 100w bayonet bulb and a 60w bulb in the same holder but with the ballast and all I've no idea if this is safe)
By the way the guys at Arcadia are not great communicators, i emailed their technical help person one Mr Chambers and 3 days later still no reply. Considering i spent just under £400 for their unit just over 12mths ago, you'd think they'd get back to you a bit quicker but nada.
Any Sparky's out there that can help?
