The new XM 400W 20K bulbs don't fit Lumenbright pendants!

mr&mrsfish · 07/02/2010, 04:24 PM

I just received two new 400W XM 20K bulbs. My old XM 400W 20K bubs fit into my LumenBright pendants without any problem. However, the new ones have this huge bubble in the middle that prevents me from inserting the bulb. The pendant has the glass cover on the bottom so there is no easy way to insert this bulb other than to dissassemble the entire fixture which would be a real pain considering my pendants are permanently attached to my hood. Has anybody else faced this issue? Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I went ahead and took the pendant apart without much problem and installed the new/bigger bulb. I think I'm good to go now. That was quite the shocker on the XM bulb size change.
