What else can I help you with?
How can you tell if the halophane light you have is a metal halide or high pressure sodium?
If you have one or more of each type working, it is easy to tell the difference, a metal halide lamp produces a wide spectrum very white light, the high pressure sodium is a narrow spectrum light that is very yellow. If you just have the light fixture, and need to know what kind of lamp it is made for, the lamp type is often mentioned on the ballast nameplate or a small sticker near the lamp socket. If that does not work, a metal halide ballast will usually be two pieces, a transformer with a heavy laminated metal core, and a capacitor in a silver can. The sodium lamp ballast will have these also, but in addition it will have a lamp striker in a second silver can, or a plastic module. In other words Metal Halide ballast: 2 pieces, HPSodium ballast: 3 components.
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
What are the 4 types of lighting?
The 4 types are: flourescent incandescent metal halide high pressure sodium
What metal and non-metal makes sodium chloride?
Sodium and Chlorine. Sodium is a metal and chlorine is a halide gas.
What is metal halide lighting?
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.
Does sodium contain both a transition metal ion and a halide ion?
No, sodium does not contain a transition metal ion. It is a Group 1 element with a +1 oxidation state. Sodium can form a halide ion, such as NaCl (sodium chloride) where the sodium loses an electron to become a positively charged cation.
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.
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.
Can a 400 watt high pressure sodium bulb be used in a 400 watt metal halide ballast?
I actually have a 400w hps ballast and I can also use my 400w metal halide bulb in it with no problem. So what your saying is they do, but they dont? the answer is, they dont. You can get universal bulbs hps to plug into a mh ballast they have a miniturized igniter inside the bulb. As I understand it, a 400W metal halide bulb can be used with a 400W hps ballast, but not the converse. A MH bulb has the igniter in the bulb, and the HPS has it in the ballast--which pretty much goes along with your comment above. Apparently the double presence of the igniter in the HPS setup is OK.you can run metal halide in same wattage's but not hps in metal halide systems.you can run such as (same wattage's)250 watt metal halide-400 watt halide ect in hps systems but not hps bulbs in halide systems. they make conversion bulbs to run halide in hps as well and vice versa.
How do you ignite a 400w electronic metal halide or high pressure sodium bulb?
To ignite a 400W electronic metal halide or high pressure sodium bulb, you need to ensure that the power supply is connected and turned on. These bulbs require a ballast to regulate the electrical current, so make sure the ballast is functioning properly. Once everything is set up, simply turn on the power switch, and the bulb should ignite.
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.
Which light is brighter Metal Halide or mercury Vapor?
Metal Halide lights are generally brighter than mercury vapor lights. Metal halide lights produce a higher quality and more natural light, making them a popular choice for outdoor lighting in stadiums, parking lots, and other large commercial spaces. Mercury vapor lights tend to have a bluish-green tint and are less bright compared to metal halide lights.
