Hi, probably a stupid question but can a normal 240v metal halide bulb be used in a dimlux 400v ballast?
Been looking everywhere and unable to find a 400v one. I'm in the uk

HID bulbs are not voltage stamped.....unless self ballasted. I thought. Like some old banned mercury vapors.

It should be noted on the ballast if it's supports 240v aswell as 400v, if not, I wouldn't recommend putting that bulb in there.

Thanks, it does actually say 240v on the ballast duh, not 400v .I thought the dimlux fixtures were all 400v. I bought it with a dimlux 750w 400v dxo bulb.
