Thanks coralife!
Yes I've checked that with a friend of mine who works at an electrical wholesaler He says no problem, the ballasts in the fixture are rated at 2x 39 watts so going down to 2 x 24 watts is actually easier on the ballast and will prolong there life. It's only a problem if your trying go beyond the rated ballast rating according to him.
