    hi all, this is only my second post on this site and im guessing it should be here!!!!! just wondered does anybody know where i can get some feet/stands for my arcadia 3 series pendant??? (as i dont think my landlord will appreciate holes in wall etc) ,
    also it has a 150 watt bulb in it, if i was to replace that with a 250watt would it damage the unit(over heat etc)
    short and sweet! thanks all hope someone may help :)

    don't not replace the bulb with a higher wattage one it will blow the ballast or if you lucky just wont light.

    edit: that is the safe answer, people have underpowered halides before, but depending on the ballast you have it may or may not have a bad result
