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.
Can you use a 65 watt fluorescent bulb in a metal halide light fixture?
No, the ballast's output is not matched to operate a fluorescent bulb.
Does a fluorescent bulb emit the same amount of heat as a metal halide bulb of the same wattage?
No, a fluorescent bulb does not emit the same amount of heat as a metal halide bulb of the same wattage.
What is the voltage at a 100 watt metal halide light bulb?
It depends......perhaps 7400 to 8500 initial lumens degrading to 5400 lumens.
Can you use an energy saving light bulb in a fitting with dusk to dawn sensor?
as long as the sockets for th bulb are the same and it is not a high pressure sodium or metal halide light
Why Metal halide fixture with a 175 w bulb and correct ballast could overheat?
Make sure you are using a metal halide bulb and the ballast is matched to the wattage on the bulb. These both must be correct.
What is the difference between a metal halide lamp and a halogen lamp?
A halogen bulb is a traditional tungsten filament bulb filled with a noble gas that gives off a soft, yellowish light. In a metal halide bulb, the light emitted is bright white or even bluish. They have a longer life than halogen bulbs, but their brightness can diminish over time.
Can you replace a 150 watt metal halide lamp with a 175 watt?
The light bulb needs to match the ballast in the fixture.
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.
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.
How do you ignite a 400w electronic metal halide or high pressure sodium bulb?
You need the appropriate ballast for either of these bulbs to make them light.
What type of light bulbs are in the street lights you see lighting streets in the city and on freeways?
They are most likely a type of metal halide bulb. <<>> The above answer bulb has a bright white light output. If the light output has an orange look about it then the bulb is a high pressure sodium lamp.
