To find out the cost of operating 60 1000watt Metal Halide lamps for 10 hours, you multiply the amount of power (in kilowatts) by time and hours. That will give you kWh (kilowatt hours), then you find out how much your power costs in $/kWh, then divide the kilowatt hours you are using by the cost ($/kWh).

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.
Does a metal halide and mercury vapor use the same ballast?
No, metal halide and mercury vapor lamps do not use the same ballast. Metal halide lamps require a ballast specifically designed for metal halide lamps, while mercury vapor lamps require a ballast designed for mercury vapor lamps. Using the wrong ballast can result in poor performance and potential safety hazards.
Can t5 lamps replace metal halide lamps?
Technically yes.But you need to check the practicality of it.
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 is the Harmonized Tariff number for a Metal halide lamp?
A metal halide lamp's Harmonized Tariff number would fall in the category of "8539.32.00 Mercury or sodium vapor lamps; metal halide lamps". See "Related Links" below for the US government's online list of Harmonized Tariffs.
How much does it cost to dispose of 400w metal-halide lamps?
The cost to dispose of 400w metal-halide lamps can vary depending on location and specific disposal regulations. It is recommended to contact local waste management facilities or recycling centers to inquire about the disposal costs and methods for these lamps.
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.
Is Led lumen better than metal halide lamps?
Metal Halide lamps produce many more ANSI lumens than an LED lamps. However, given this fact, many manufacturers are focusing their production on LED technology because they produce light that lasts 4 to 10 times longer, and they do not get hot like metal halide lamps.
How many 400 watt metal halide lamps will operate off a 1000 watt ballast?
It will power two 400 watt lamps.
What are the different types of light?
Incandescent Lamps Light Emitting Diode Neon Lamps Fluorescent Tubes Compact Fluorescent Lamps Halogen Lamps Metal Halide Lamps High Intensity Discharge Lamps Low Pressure Sodium Lamps High Pressure Sodium Lamps
Will pulse start lamp work with metal halide ballast?
A pulse start lamp can work with a metal halide ballast, but compatibility depends on the specific ballast and lamp type. It's essential to ensure that the ballast is rated for pulse start lamps, as not all metal halide ballasts are designed for this purpose. If the ballast is compatible, the pulse start lamp can provide improved efficiency and better performance compared to standard metal halide lamps. Always consult the manufacturer's specifications for optimal results.
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.
