They cost about $300-$800. I got mine for $800 but some can be more expensive depends on how fast or what programs they have. And the small ones can be very cheap.
The cost to run a 400 watt HPS light will depend on your electricity rate. On average, running a 400 watt HPS light for 1 hour will cost around $0.06 to $0.12. To calculate the monthly cost, multiply the hourly cost by the number of hours the light is on each day, then multiply by 30 days.
It will not. A HPS lamp has a much lower ignition current than a MH lamp. There are lamps called "multi-vapor' "MVH" that will work in a MH luminaire. you can run metal halide in hps but not hps in halides.
No!
Yes the ballast and starter are the same you can run halide in hps, but not hps in halide.
The full name of HPS Ahluwalia is Harpal Singh Ahluwalia.
It has 50 hps
A 250W HPS (High-Pressure Sodium) bulb uses 250 Watts of electricity when it is operating at its full power. It is important to note that the actual power consumption may vary slightly due to factors such as ballast efficiency and voltage fluctuations.
To calculate the cost, you would need to know your electricity rate per kilowatt-hour. Assuming an average rate of $0.12 per kWh, running a 600W HPS light for 12 hours a day would cost approximately $2.88 per day. This is calculated by multiplying the wattage (600W) by the hours used (12), then dividing by 1000 to get the kilowatt-hours used per day (7.2 kWh), and finally multiplying by the cost per kWh ($0.12).
No, a 1000w HPS ballast is designed to power one 1000w HPS light bulb. If you want to power two lights, you would need to use a ballast with enough power output for two lights, like a 2000w HPS ballast.
A 250-watt HPS (High Pressure Sodium) bulb typically produces around 28,000 lumens at the initial phase of operation. However, this can decrease over time as the bulb ages.
Information on HPS light, or High Pressure Sodium light, can be found at any local library. Websites for companies such as YouTube and 4Hyrdropaunics, can offer one information and videos about the intricacies of HPS light.
If the ballast of the HPS fixture has a 120 volt tap then, yes it can be plugged into a 120 volt receptacle.
