hps light averages 125 lumens, therefore, a 150 watt hps light is about 18,750 lumens.
600w - the thicker filament has a lower resistance, which leads to a higher current and thus higher wattage
In most cases a cfl bulb can be replaced with an incandescent bulb as long as the base matches. for an example: if a cfl bulb has a GU24 base an incandescent bulb will not work! Also, ensure the wattage of the bulb does not exceed manufacturers rating.
A higher wattage HPS bulb may work with a ballast that is rated for a lower wattage bulb , but may appear to be dim and will not produce the rated light output. It is best to match ballast and bulb accordingly.
Obviously not. It would blow the bulb by 600W! <<>> Yes you can use a 60 watt light bulb in a lampholder that is rated a 660 watts. The rating given to these lamp holders is the maximum amount of wattage that can be applied to them safely.
When you want to use a MH bulb in an HPS ballast you must use a conversion bulb. It must be the same wattage as the HPS bulb

In general no, because the extra heat produced would make it a fire hazard.
The MH ballast will not have the ignitor required to power up the HPS bulb. I have 1000w ballast that can be switched between HPS and MH with a singe switch just by disabling the ignitor for the MH. I would look into conversion bulbs, or else check out this site for $20 150w HPS ballast with bulb. http://www.e-conolight.com/Product/EProductDetail.asp?ProductFamilyID=7&FGNumber=E-MT6H151G If it doesnt appear, sellect vapor tights, then the 150hps.
No high pressure lbs require a specific ballasts to operate the bulb correctly

cp8a lubriplate is an equal to the 600w super

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.
