opinions on lighting
 

i am currently running the corallife aqualight pro, dual 150w halides, if i where to buy stronger ballasts (250 or 400) would i be able to run them in the original fixture? also im running a aqualight pro pendant on my nano, is there somewhere to get parts for them. i broke the glass shield that covers the bulb.

i guess im not the only one that doesnt know huh. lol

I bought some replacement sockets for my 250W DE, supposedly were different from 150W sockets.

Also often see a max wattage on a incandescent lamp fixture, figuring part of that is the temperature design spec, might be something to think about the difference in heat from a 150W bulb compared to a 400W one.

im thinkin ill probably go 250, is there alot of temp difference between 150 and 250?

If you go from 150 to 250 you will have to change the plugs on the wiring, the 150w coralife ballast use a different connection than the 250w.

ok this idea isnt sounding very promising, maybe ill just have to wait and buy a whole new setup

The plugs are different, the sockets are different. Not worth it.
