Metal halide lights are a type of high-intensity discharge light. They're frequently used as grow lights for plants in conjunction with HPS (high pressure sodium) lights. MH lights are better for the earlier vegetative growth stages.

Which light is brighter Metal Halide or mercury Vapor?
Between Metal Halide and Mercury Vapor the higher output is emitted from the Metal Halide lamp.
What kind of lighting does urchins need?
They do not need any specific lighting. You can use any aquarium lighting from normal florescent tubes, to metal halide lights, to even LED's. The livestock that requires more intese lighting are different corals or anemones.
Can A 70 watt metal halide bulb be replaced with A 150 watt halide bulb?
No. A 70 Watt metal halide bulb can not be replaced with a 150 Watt halide bulb.
Does a metal halide and mercury vapor use the same ballast?
No. A mercury vapor lamp will work on a metal halide ballast, but not the other way around.
What does a metal halide light do to a plant?
Metal-halide light is helpful for plant growth and is often used for indoor plant growing applications. Metal-halide lights produce blue-frequency light. They can provide the temperature , as well as the spectrum of light that encourages plant growth.
Where can one purchase metal halide lights?
Metal halide lights are available in many shapes, sizes and specifications at home furnishing stores including Home Depot and Lowe's or online at Buy Lighting and Venture Lighting.
Where can one find more information about metal halide lamps?
Metal halide lamps are featured in gardening, home and lighting and reef keeping websites. There is a lot of information about them on the website 'the reef tank'.
What are the 4 types of lighting?
The 4 types are: flourescent incandescent metal halide high pressure sodium
What has the author E W Taylor written?
E W. Taylor has written: 'Some aspects of the use of metal-halide discharge lamps for film lighting' 'The CSI 1KW metal-halide discharge lamp' 'Film lighting using metal-halide lamps' 'A study of peak multiplexed signal level in the context of 2 1/2-or 3-channel surround-sound transmissions'
What is a metal halide compound?
Common table salt NaCl is a metal halide.
Which light is brighter Metal Halide or mercury Vapor?
Between Metal Halide and Mercury Vapor the higher output is emitted from the Metal Halide lamp.
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.
What kind of lighting does urchins need?

Can A 70 watt metal halide bulb be replaced with A 150 watt halide bulb?
No. A 70 Watt metal halide bulb can not be replaced with a 150 Watt halide bulb.
What is the formula for calculating the full current load of a 400 watt metal halide light?
For the amperage of a metal halide fixture look for the nameplate which can be found on the side of the ballast. There it will tell you what the amperage of the fixture draws. Knowing what one fixture draws will allow you to size the lighting circuit for wire and breaker sizes.
How does a metal halide ballast work?
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.
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.
