The question isn't what you're powering with a particular gauge of wire, but what's the current draw.

If the metal halide light can run on a 15 Amp breaker (from the breaker panel), fine use your metal halide in your residential application and run it on the 14 gauge wire.

It uses more power (watts) than before, it produces more heat, and also more light.


How many leds and watts to replace a 250 watt metal halide?

It depends. The Wattage ratings do not indicate how bright any type of bulb is, just what its power consumption is. In general LED lamps put out more light for the power used than metal halide bulbs, but there is no standard as to how much more. Most lamps indicate their candlepower or 'candela' ratings on the package, and the vary by type of bulb and manufacturer. The 'candela' is the SI base unit of luminous intensity.

What would be the cost of operating 60 1000watt Metal Halide lamps for 10 hr?

To find out the cost of operating 60 1000watt Metal Halide lamps for 10 hours, you multiply the amount of power (in kilowatts) by time and hours. That will give you kWh (kilowatt hours), then you find out how much your power costs in $/kWh, then divide the kilowatt hours you are using by the cost ($/kWh).

Do you need a separate switch for a sensor light if I am connecting it from an existing light outside?

If you are taking the power from the existing light outside you have to be aware that when that outside light is switched off then the sensor light will not work. Your best choice should be power the sensor light from an un-switched source. This could be an existing receptacle outlet in a nearby location. Check your sensor configuration to see if the device has the function to be locked on and off by interrupting the voltage supply to it. If it does then a switch in its circuit is mandatory to make this function work. If this function is not included in the device then just connect it as the instructions explain and the fixture will come on when it senses movement and go off after a timed interval.
