If the 250 watt bulb is a HID or similar type the ballast comes complete with the fixture. The bulb socket is also part of the fixture and comes pre-wired to the socket. To connect the bulb to the fixture all that has to be done is just screw it into the fixture's socket.

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.
4 250 mh bulbs 1 1000 watt mh ballast how to wire?
I would wire them together in a parellel circut. all the lights together, white to white black to black then put your ballast to em. it works like that with my 400 watt mh/hps ballast and 2 250 watt hps bulbs. run 2 hps bulbs with 2 mh bulbs if you can, you get better results.
Can a 250 watt heat bulb go into any lamp?
no the fixture has to be rated for the size and type of the bulb. most fixtures are not rated for 250W
Do you have to use a ballasts for a 250 watt metal halide?
Yes, the ballast is an intricate part of the fixture that the lamp screws into regardless of what size wattage the lamp is.
Can you use a 250 watt bulb with a 15 amp switch?
A 15 amp switch can safely handle up to 1400 resistive watts.
Can i replace a 250-watt halogen bulb with a 3000-watt halogen bulb?
No. Only replace lamps in a fixture that the manufacturer of the fixture recommends. By installing larger than recommended lamps this could create a fire due to the increase of heat generated by the over size lamp.
How much energy does a 250watt bulb use per hour How much energy does the average light bulb use per hour?
There are many factors that go into calculating the energy usage of a light bulb. The wattage printed on the lamp is only the energy use of the lamp when it is new. Depending on the kind of lamp he energy required to run it will increase as it ages. For example a Metal Halide lamp can use up to 50% more power in the last 20% of its life.Another factor is the ballast that may be required to run the lamp. Each ballast has a "ballast factor" which can increase or reduce the overall energy usage of the lamp. Many ballasts have a factor as high as 1.2 which would increase the energy consumption of the lamp to 300 watts.AnswerThe question is asking about energy, not power as per the previous answer. To find the energy consumed by a lamp, or any device come to that, multiply its power rating by the time for which it is used. So a 250-W lamp will use 250 W.h (watt hours) of energy in one hour, 500 W.h in two hours, and so on. Energy is more-commonly expressed in kilowatt hours, for the purpose of billing however, where 250 W.h corresponds to 0.25 kW.h, etcAnswer: In an hour it uses 250 watt-hours. The average bulb probably uses 20-60 watt-hours each hour.
Can you use 250 watt bulb in a 150 watt lamp?
Yes, but the bulb will only operate at 60 watts and only in one of the switch positions. To shut the bulb off you will have to switch through the other two positions.
How many lumens are in a 300 watt incandescent light bulb?
The actual amount of light (lumens) given off by a bulb depends on the how the bulb was made and with what materials. It depends on the filament material, its length and thickness, and the type of gas in the bulb. As a rule, longer lasting bulbs of the same wattage will generally be less bright than others and brighter bulbs of the same wattage will not last as long as other bulbs.Sample lumen outputs:Sylvania 250 Watt Indoor Soft White 3-Way Bulb can emit 3940 lumens at its highest setting.Philips 250 Watt 120 to 130V PAR38 Krypton Flood Bulb emits 3100 lumens
Lumen output of a 250 watt high pressure sodium bulb?
28,500 Lumens (approximately) there will be variance for other factors including manufacture.
How many watts does a desktop use?
+- 250 watt to 500 watt
What is 0.25 of a watt?
250 milliwatts
