What else can I help you with?
Can you use a sodium lamp in a mercury ballast?
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.
How much energy does a lamp use?
well it depends on the type of lamp but it should say on the packaging
What is an electric lamp?
The term "electric lamp" is a general one. It refers to a slice of technology that produces light from electricity, and how it does this can vary. The two basic types of lamp are the incandescent type and the fluorescent type. There are other types, like a light emitting diode type, which is solid state kind, and a carbon arc lamp, but we usually use the term for the two common types mentioned. Sometimes we use the term to include the whole fixture. A table lamp might be referred to as an electric lamp in some cases. But as regards the "regular" usage, the lamp will work in one of two ways. In one, a resistive element which will heated by the electric current to the point of incandescence, where it will emit light. The filament gets really hot and glows, and you already know that this describes the incandescent lamp. In the fluorescent lamp, a gas-filled tube it electrified and the gas is ionized with the subsequent emission of light. This is the fluorescent lamp, and many of them are set up with secondary emission characteristics to increase and/or change the spectrum of light emitted.

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.
Does an electric lamp use an electromagnet?
No.
What type gas use in mercury lamp?
It is a gas discharge lamp which uses mercury in excited states.
Is argon gas a part of a high pressure sodium lamp?
From Wikipedia, high pressure sodium lamps use xenon, whilst low pressure ones use neon with a small amount of argon. See entry for 'sodium vapor lamps'
Can you use a sodium lamp in a mercury ballast?
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.
Can you use a led lamp in a 100w sodium fixture?
Probably not. Sodium light fixtures generally have a "ballast".
Can you use a 70 watt high pressure sodium bulb in a 100 watt ballast?
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
What to use to power a sodium bulb?
To power a sodium vapor lamp, you typically need a ballast specifically designed for high-pressure sodium lamps. This ballast helps regulate the electrical current to the lamp, which is crucial for proper operation and longevity of the bulb. It is important to use the correct ballast to avoid damaging the lamp or creating a safety hazard.
How much energy does a lamp use?
well it depends on the type of lamp but it should say on the packaging
Can you use a type ca bulb in a lamp that calls for a type g?
It is not recommended to use a different bulb type than what is specified for a lamp. Type G and Type CA bulbs have different shapes and bases, which may not fit properly or result in overheating. It is best to use the correct bulb type for the lamp to ensure proper fit and safety.
Why resistance use in sodium vapor lamp in series with electrodes?
Because once the sodium vapor ionizes the lamp effectively becomes a short circuit, the series resistor limits the current to a reasonable value that will not overload the power source.
What type of socket light bulb should I use for my lamp?
For your lamp, you should use a standard medium base socket light bulb.
Which high intensity disharge bulb do you use to grow weed?
The bulb should be in the red end of the light spectrum. One HID lamp is the high pressure sodium lamp.
Does a sailor use a gas lamp?
Because sometimes the boat doesn't have electricity to power it.
