Common table salt NaCl is a metal halide.
Copper chloride is an ionic compound, specifically a metal halide.
It's called halogenation. M - metal X - halogen 2M(s) + X2 (g) --> 2MX
Between Metal Halide and Mercury Vapor the higher output is emitted from the 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.
No. A 70 Watt metal halide bulb can not be replaced with a 150 Watt halide bulb.
TiCn4 is not a chemical formula. However, the formula TiCi4 is titanium tetrachloride which is an inorganic compound. It is a highly volatile metal halide.
The "salt" you are referring to is actually called silver-halide and are more commonly known as "silver salts". When silver-halide crystals are exposed to light, they form a compound known as "metallic silver"
A metal halide ballast works just by transforming the line voltage into much more useful voltage to the metal halide, and by regulating the current so that the bulb will have its useful life at the most.
Yes the ballast and starter are the same you can run halide in hps, but not hps in halide.
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.
No. The lamp has to match the ballast. The lamp will not ignite if the wrong ballast is used.
No. A mercury vapor lamp will work on a metal halide ballast, but not the other way around.
