What causes electronic ballast failure?
As in all electronics heat is the culprit..if a lamp is mounted (let us say at a ceiling in a warehouse the temperature at the ceiling area is always more than the ground level) and this becomes a cause for ballast failures. Voltage spikes and dips are also a reason for ballast failures. The ballast specifications should match with the lamp (undersizing it will also cause failures) eg. using a 32 watt ballst for a 40 watt lamp. Cheers. Chaterpilar

Can you use a 400W high pressure sodium bulb in a metal halide ballast?
No, the ballast has to be matched to the lamp. 250 watt ballast, 250 watt lamp. Also be sure to match the lamp type to the proper ballast even though the wattage is the same. HPS ballast to HPS lamp, Metal halide ballast to metal halide lamp and mercury vapour lamp to mercury vapour ballast.
Can A 70 watt metal halide bulb be replaced with A 150 watt halide bulb?
No. A 70 Watt metal halide bulb can not be replaced with a 150 Watt halide bulb.
Do you have to use a ballasts for a 250 watt metal halide?
Yes, the ballast is an intricate part of the fixture that the lamp screws into regardless of what size wattage the lamp is.
Can you use a 70 watt high pressure sodium bulb in a 100 watt ballast?
No. The bulb has to match the ballast wattage exactly. And you can't interchange different lamps (like metal halide) either. The ballast is specific to that wattage and lamp type. The bulb will either burn out quickly or just not work properly at all
Can a 400 watt high pressure sodium bulb be used in a 400 watt metal halide ballast?
I actually have a 400w hps ballast and I can also use my 400w metal halide bulb in it with no problem. So what your saying is they do, but they dont? the answer is, they dont. You can get universal bulbs hps to plug into a mh ballast they have a miniturized igniter inside the bulb. As I understand it, a 400W metal halide bulb can be used with a 400W hps ballast, but not the converse. A MH bulb has the igniter in the bulb, and the HPS has it in the ballast--which pretty much goes along with your comment above. Apparently the double presence of the igniter in the HPS setup is OK.you can run metal halide in same wattage's but not hps in metal halide systems.you can run such as (same wattage's)250 watt metal halide-400 watt halide ect in hps systems but not hps bulbs in halide systems. they make conversion bulbs to run halide in hps as well and vice versa.
How many 400 watt metal halide lamps will operate off a 1000 watt ballast?
