Giesemann halide ?

[badfish]

hello all,

i have a giesemann nova 2 pendant it's a 150 watt de.it runs on a magnetic ballast,the time has come to change the bulb in it.i was wondering if you can run any 150 watt de bulb on that ballast or does it have to be certain ones.i'm running a giesemann 20k right now but i want to explore a few more color options.in the book for the light it says they recomend radium bulbs.i just don't want to be stuck two brands when theres so many nice bulbs out there.

The ballast may have some limiting factors when considering lamps, It may be a crap shoot but I bet someone that has something similar will tell you what they found to work. It may just be a statement to protect them from people complaining that a certain lamp won't fire on their ballast.

Pretty much any 150 DE bulb will run on that setup. It has a pulse start ballast which is pretty standard for DE bulbs.
