What else can I help you with?
Can you use 250W metal halide bulb in a 1000W metal halide ballast?
No. The lamp has to match the ballast. The lamp will not ignite if the wrong ballast is used.
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.
Can you use a 70 watt metal halide lamp in a 150 watt ballast?
No, it is not recommended to use a 70 watt metal halide lamp with a 150 watt ballast. The lamp and ballast wattage should match to ensure proper operation and to prevent damage to the lamp or ballast. It is best to use a compatible lamp and ballast with matching wattages.
What is the difference between an HQI metal halide lamp and a regular metal halide lamp?
An HQI metal halide lamp belongs to the family of metal halide HID lamps. Hydrargyum quartz iodide (HQI) lamps differ from standard metal halide lamps in that they are often smaller and are offered in double ended versions and require a special socket. The gasses and metal halide salts used in HQI and standard metal halide lamps are the same.
Can you use a sodium lamp in a mercury ballast?
No you can't. You can use a metal halide lamp of the exact wattage of the original mercury lamp. You cannot vary on wattage at all.
Can you use a normal metal halide lamp to grow plants indoor or do you have to buy a special one?
Yes. However it would be recommended that you use a metal halide bulb that is specially made for indoor horticulture.
Can you replace a 100 watt metal halide lamp with a 70 watt metal halide lamp?
Yes, you can replace a 100-watt metal halide lamp with a 70-watt metal halide lamp, but it will result in lower light output. The 70-watt lamp will provide less brightness, which may not be suitable for applications requiring high illumination levels. Additionally, ensure that the fixture is compatible with the lower wattage to avoid any electrical issues.
What is the lumen's of a 70 watt metal halide lamp?
6000lm
Will a hps luminaire run a metal halide lamp?
Yes the ballast and starter are the same you can run halide in hps, but not hps in halide.
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.
Will metal halide ballast work pulse start lamp?
Metal halide ballasts are designed for standard metal halide lamps and may not work properly with pulse start lamps, which require a different starting method. Pulse start lamps typically need a specific type of ballast that provides a higher starting voltage to ignite the lamp. Using a standard metal halide ballast could result in insufficient performance or even damage to the lamp. Always check compatibility with the manufacturer's specifications before use.
Can you use a mercury lamp in a metal halide ballast?
No, it is not recommended to use a mercury lamp in a metal halide ballast. Mercury lamps and metal halide lamps have different operating characteristics and using them interchangeably can result in poor performance, reduced lamp life, and potential safety hazards. It is important to use the correct type of lamp for the corresponding ballast.
