Piaza lamps

[KNIPEX]

I recently installed a couple of piazza lights for a customer, 70w jobs, now she is saying they are too bright can i change the bulbs, no probs she is prepared to pay.

however the closet lamp i could fine was a 50w es type, also i have had problems before in the past with son lamps some seem to work some dont, some need ignitors some dont etc.

so can you change the lamp in a piazza lamp to a lower wattage, anyone know please??

thanks for your help.

Ive put a 50w into a 70w fitting before because thats all I had in the van untill I got a 70w, worked no problem but was only in a couple of days.

If it's high pressure mercury they're often rated 50-80watt so a 50 watt lamp may be an option. I would check the booklet if all else fails.

Depends on the control gear? Whether it's electronic ballast or magnetic ballast??

Worked on street lighting a few years ago, the lighting was 99.9% magnetic ballasts. Often changed 70w son to 50w.
