How many volts needed to run a fluorescent light?
The voltage of your area is what determines the operating voltage of all equipment. Equipment from other countries usually has to use a transformer to get the correct voltage. The voltage on a fluorescent fixture is printed on the ballast of the fixture. See if the voltage on the ballast matches the supply voltage of the system that you are going to use to operate the fixture.
Can you use a led lamp in a 100w sodium fixture?
Probably not. Sodium light fixtures generally have a "ballast".
Will 277V work with a 120V ballast?
The impedence of the ballast is system voltage dependent to allow required current to pass through the light fixture. If system voltage changes, the current passing through the light fixture changes, therefore to get designed output from the fixture, the ballast has to be changed.
Can you use a 65 watt fluorescent bulb in a metal halide light fixture?
No, the ballast's output is not matched to operate a fluorescent bulb.
What do I attach the green wire from the light fixture to?
The green wire on the light fixture is a ground wire. If there is no ground wire in the conduit, the green wire should be attached to the metal box with a screw.

What is a pin based fluorescent light fixture?
A pin based fluorescent light fixture is the type of fixture that takes fluorescent tubes. On each end of the fluorescent tubes there are contact pins. These pins are used to hold the tube in the fixture and to supply the voltage to the tube from the fixture's ballast.
Can a hps light fixture be plugged in to a regular outlet?
If the ballast of the HPS fixture has a 120 volt tap then, yes it can be plugged into a 120 volt receptacle.

Can you replace a 150 watt metal halide lamp with a 175 watt?
The light bulb needs to match the ballast in the fixture.

No, the ballast's output is not matched to operate a fluorescent bulb.

How do you wire a ballast that has two black wires for a one tube fluorescent lamp?
There should be a black & white wire coming from the light. Hook black to black and white to white. Then connect the ground wire to the light chassis. You need 12/2 with ground for the circuit. You do not need a light fixture box for these type lights.
Can you use a 240V hanging light fixture in the USA?
As long as it's a regular incandescent light fixture, and the sockets will accept US bulbs, with provisions for grounding, then yes. You may need to upgrade the wiring to a heavier guage; I'd suggest 14 guage stranded wire through the entire fixture. If it's not incandescent, then no, unless it has a multi-tap ballast.
How do you change the ballist in a light fixture?
Ballasts can be quite different even if you order a replacement part for a specific fixture. You need to follow the wiring diagram on the new ballast. If this is confusing or not easy to follow, you need a competent electrician to do this for you.
How woul a fluorescent light fixture that is set up with no pull chain one end there is a ballast with 2 wires a blue and red the other has 2 wires attached to bulbs where and how would you attach the?
you would need to find the power source and take the energized leg or (hot leg) as we call it and connect it to one side of the switch and the black wire coming from the ballast to the other side of the switch
