LumenBright and PFO

wycombes · 04/23/2011, 08:04 AM

Anybody have any experience with putting a CoralVue LumenBright mini pendant SE with a 250W PFO ballast? Do you have to change the connection coming off the Coralvue pendant?

Yes I am pretty sure you do.

If the reflecter is new it doesn't come with a plug just the 3 wires. I got mini's and ordered 3 plugs for the 3 reefflex cubes I got.

I was going to get the pendant, it looks like the mogul has a cord and plug on the end. When you say "reflector", I am guessing this may be slightly different from the reflector that has the outer black metal and is sold as a pendant.

If you are buying new call and ask, I did and was told you have to buy the plug seperetly. This must be because that all the ballasts use different quick disconects. I don't think it would matter between the retro reflecters and pendents but could be wrong.
