No, just an inert gas and Mercury vapor at close to atmospheric pressure. Without the inert gas it would be near vacuum, as very little mercury is needed.
AnswerThey shouldn't; that kind of thing is checked and regulated by the FCC. However, a CFL has a high frequency switching power supply in it, so it is possible. My garage door opener would not open or close until the the compact fluorescent light bulb timed out. There is a warning on the CFB that says that it can interfere with electronic circuits and it does.
220 lumens is equal to a tungsten incandescent light bulb of 15 watts. Halogen lamp 20 watts. Fluorescent lamp 60 watts. LED lamp 60 watts. high pressure sodium vapour lamp 117 watts. Mercury vapour lamp 50 watts or 17.32 candle power
- S2 starters for ignition of low-voltage fluorescent TL lamps and series/single application in high voltage for lower wattages (4 - 22W) - S10 starters for ignition of high voltage fluorescent TL lamps for wide range of wattages (4 - 65W)
yes. high pressure take away space because when high pressure came together it increase the pressure.
you would expect it to have high pressure
no

No, you can not use a 150 watt high pressure sodium bulb with a 70 watt ballast.
The 400W high pressure Sodium bulb contains a silver lining inside the frame to give better reflection of light. However, no silver is found inside the bulb.
The electronic BALLAST is a circuit that limits the current through the fluorescent bulb to the design value. It also provides a pulse of high voltage to start the bulb conducting when it is switched on.
Gas under high pressure
All high-intensity discharge (HID) bulbs, and all fluorescent bulbs, require a ballast, which is a device that limits current. It can raise the voltage and/or heat the bulb cathodes.
High vapor pressure
The bulb should be in the red end of the light spectrum. One HID lamp is the high pressure sodium lamp.
The abbreviations are CFL - Compact Fluorescent Lamp, MHL - Metal Halide Lamp, HPMV - High Pressure Mercury Vapor, and one more is HPS - High Pressure Sodium lamp
Yes. You have to be sure that the prescription is filled EXACTLY.
The starter will send a delayed high voltage electricity to the gas within the fluorescent bulb that cause the gas to be ionized and conduct electricity.
