No you can't. You can use a metal halide lamp of the exact wattage of the original mercury lamp. You cannot vary on wattage at all.
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.
The average deep freezer or chest freezer uses about 130 watts. There are some energy saver models that might use less wattage.

The wattage of bulb one uses in a bedroom lamp depends on several factors. If it is a lamp used for back ground lighting or a night lamp, one would use a very low wattage bulb. If it is for a bedroom reading lamp, one would want a stronger wattage. The biggest factor on deciding what wattage to use is the wattage suggested by the lamp manufacturer. All lamps are marked with recommend bulb wattage.
No you can't. You can use a metal halide lamp of the exact wattage of the original mercury lamp. You cannot vary on wattage at all.
You should not use a higher wattage bulb in a lamp that says 40 watts. The higher wattage could cause the lamp to catch fire due to the excess heat and could cause you serious electrical problems.
The usual criteria is that the larger the envelope size of the lamp the larger the wattage of the lamp. The terminology of "big bulbs" suggests that the lamp could be in the range of 400 watts.
Yes, you can use a halogen bulb in a regular lamp as long as the bulb wattage does not exceed the lamp's recommended wattage limit. Additionally, be careful when handling halogen bulbs as they can get very hot during operation.
the bulb is usually 30 or 40 watts
Yes, the ballast is an intricate part of the fixture that the lamp screws into regardless of what size wattage the lamp is.
Yes, you can use a 60-watt bulb in a lava lamp, provided the lamp is designed to accommodate that wattage. However, it's essential to check the manufacturer's specifications, as some lava lamps are designed for lower wattage bulbs (usually 25 to 40 watts). Using a bulb with higher wattage than recommended can lead to overheating and potentially damage the lamp or create a fire hazard. Always prioritize safety and follow the guidelines provided by the manufacturer.
No. The bulb has to match the ballast wattage exactly. And you can't interchange different lamps (like metal halide) either. The ballast is specific to that wattage and lamp type. The bulb will either burn out quickly or just not work properly at all
A lamp designation refers to the specific type or model of lamp used for a particular purpose or application. It helps identify the lamp based on its characteristics, such as size, shape, wattage, voltage, and intended use. Lamp designations are often marked on the lamp itself or on its packaging for easy reference.
Yes, you CAN. The real question is whether or not you should. There is always a fire hazard, especially if the lamp is near drapes, or has a large shade or whatnot on it. If it was me I'd only use a 60 watt bulb in a 60 watt lamp.
Yes, as long as the voltage is the same and the bulb has the same or less wattage. The fixture is rated at a certain wattage that can be found on a label somewhere on the fixture. Never use a larger wattage than what is stated on this label.
