Hello all,
One of our guys went to service a fixture and noticed that someone had put a 250W bulb in a fixture which had a 400W ballast, now the guys here are arguing about whether or not the bulb or ballast will have a shortened life expectancy.
What do you think? If a 250W bulb is put in a Holophane fixture with a
400W Metal Halide ballast, is the 250W bulb going to die prematurely? What about the ballast?Remember that we are not just talking about just a purely resistive load here.
Thanks.
