HQI bulb ques.

[kevinpratt823]

I've always had single ended, but I have a DE pendant I got in a trade with a 250w DE Pheonix in it. Will a DE 150W fit in this? Or is it a different size?
TIA.

A lot of pendants support different bulb wattage or are "adjustable" just make sure you run the correct ballast.
Correct me if I'm wrong haven't had MH in a year

Nope, 150W blubs have pointed ends that fit into cup like ends of the socket. 250W blubs have flat ends that sit in clip like ends of their sockets.

250w and 400w DE blubs have the same kind of ends/contacts but the 400w blubs are longer, so they use the same sockets but the spacing is different. 150w bulbs use a completely different socket. You may be able to swap out the 250w socket for a 150w style. Take a look at the parts on hellolights, you'll see what I mean.
