Not legally if the fixture is is rated for only a maximum size bulb of 70 watts. By imposing twice the wattage on the fixture, this action will create an overheating effect that could ignite surrounding material.

Can you replace a 150 watt sodium bulb and use a lower 70 watt sodium bulb?

Yes, you can replace a 150 watt sodium bulb with a lower 70 watt sodium bulb. However, the lower wattage bulb may not produce as much light as the original 150 watt bulb, so you may experience a decrease in brightness. Make sure the 70 watt bulb is compatible with your fixture and follow all safety guidelines when replacing the bulb.


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.


Can you use a 70 watt high pressure sodium bulb in a 150 watt ballast?

No, you can not use a 150 watt high pressure sodium bulb with a 70 watt ballast.


Do you go by watt equivalent or actual watt usage on a halogen bulb to determine what bulb to use?

Strictly the power in watts measures how much energy is used, while the brightness is measured in lumens. Bulb packaging should carry that information. But 'equivalents' are a useful way for manufacturers to bamboozle customers, so halogens often carry an 'equivalent wattage' figure, which means the power of an ordinary old incandescent bulb of the same brightness. If you had a 100 watt old-fashioned bulb, that is replaced by a 70 watt halogen. It could also be replace by a 20 watt CFL bulb that is obviously less expensive to run and lasts much longer.


What wattage halogen bulb will match a 100 watt incandescent?

Halogen bulbs are about 30% more efficient so a 70 watt halogen does the job.


Can you use a 100 watt HPS bulb in a 70 watt hps fixture?

In general no, because the extra heat produced would make it a fire hazard.


Can you mix incandescent bulb with halogen bulb in same light fitting?

Yes, the halogen bulb would provide about 30% more brightness (lumens) for the same electric power rating. So 70 watt halogen is about equal to 90-100 watt incandescent.


Can you replace a 100 watt metal halide lamp with a 70 watt metal halide lamp?

Yes, you can replace a 100-watt metal halide lamp with a 70-watt metal halide lamp, but it will result in lower light output. The 70-watt lamp will provide less brightness, which may not be suitable for applications requiring high illumination levels. Additionally, ensure that the fixture is compatible with the lower wattage to avoid any electrical issues.


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


What is the minimum watt of a light bulb 30 40 50 60 or 70 watt for night reading?

40 watts. I did an experiment on this. Go do one and see for yourself. Sheesh. -_-


How bright is 70 lumens?

A little bit less than a 25 watt incandescent bulb - the the table below:Bulb brightnessA 100 watt Bulb is rated at approximately 1700 lumensA 60 watt incandescent bulb is rated at approximately 800 lumensA 40 watt bulb is rated at approximately 400 lumensA 25 watt bulb is rated at approximately 180 lumensA 4 watt night light bulb is rated at approximately 20 lumens


How many lumens output in a 500 watt quartz Halogen bulb?

The bulb will have an efficacy of 17-20Lm per watt, so in total 500W = 8,500-10000 lumens. However, the bulbs light output is non directional, so a lot of the spilled light is in directions that you don't want it to go, so 50-70% of the figure can be used when specing up an LED variant.
