Can i use a probe start lamp with a pulse start ballast?
yes
What is electronic blast for a CFL lamp?
The electronic BALLAST is a circuit that limits the current through the fluorescent bulb to the design value. It also provides a pulse of high voltage to start the bulb conducting when it is switched on.
Can you use a 70 watt metal halide lamp in a 150 watt ballast?
Yes assuming the ballast is also for a metal halide lamp.
If the ballast on a fluorescent light blows will the lamp still work?
If the ballast on a fluorescent light blows the lamp will not work.
How do you test an HID lamp ignitor?
For your question, i see the ignitor means the Electronic Ballast. If you want test HID lamp electronic ballast, you can reference Lisun WT2000-HID HID Ballast Tester, this instrument is main for test HID lamp electronic ballast,

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 you use 250W metal halide bulb in a 1000W metal halide ballast?
No. The lamp has to match the ballast. The lamp will not ignite if the wrong ballast is used.

Can you use a 100 watt metal halide bulb in a 150 watt lamp?
Not recommended. It would work but shorten lamp life and may cause risk of fire. However, if you just wanted to check a lamp was capable of striking it would be ok for a few minutes. I've done the opposite in the past and used a 150w lamp with a 100w ballast. Works, but not good for any of the components, including lamp.
Why does your fluresant light not work after you installed a ballast?
Do you have the right ballast for the type of lamps you are using? Check on the nameplate of the ballast to see it matches with the type of tubes you are using. Are the tubes snug in the lamp holders? Is the fluorescent fixture grounded using the fixture ground screw? Do you have voltage to the ballast? On most lamp start ups you can see the lamp filament glow on each end of the tube. If you don't see the filament glow on any of the tube ends, check the wires going to that lamp holder.
What type of a ballast do compact fluorescent lamps use?
a compact electronic ballast in the base of the lamp
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
