The 400W high pressure Sodium bulb contains a silver lining inside the frame to give better reflection of light. However, no silver is found inside the bulb.
You need the appropriate ballast for either of these bulbs to make them light.
yes
no
No, you can not use a 150 watt high pressure sodium bulb with a 70 watt ballast.
my HP sodium light just quit working. How can I tell if the bulb is out or the fixture mounted on the pole is bad. Hate to pay $35 for a bulb if the fixture is the culprit.
A 400 watt Mercury vapor light bulb produces roughly 23,000 lumens. In comparison to a 400 watt metal haloid and or high-pressure sodium, not as good. Metal haliod and high-pressure sodium produces 30,000 lumens.
The bulb should be in the red end of the light spectrum. One HID lamp is the high pressure sodium lamp.
as long as the sockets for th bulb are the same and it is not a high pressure sodium or metal halide light
6000 watts should be enough. Good luck!
28,500 Lumens (approximately) there will be variance for other factors including manufacture.
You think probable to a sodium vapors lamp.
They are most likely a type of metal halide bulb. <<>> The above answer bulb has a bright white light output. If the light output has an orange look about it then the bulb is a high pressure sodium lamp.
