Because the envelope is so close to the filament, it would melt if it were made from glass. The gas inside the envelope is also different -- it consists of a gas from the halogen group. These gases have a very interesting property: They combine with tungsten vapor. If the temperature is high enough, the halogen gas will combine with tungsten atoms as they evaporate and redeposit them on the filament. This recycling process lets the filament last a lot longer. In addition, it is now possible to run the filament hotter, meaning you get more light per unit of energy. You still get a lot of heat, though; and because the quartz envelope is so close to the filament, it is extremely hot compared to a normal light bulb. de from glass.

For the amperage of a metal halide fixture look for the nameplate which can be found on the side of the ballast. There it will tell you what the amperage of the fixture draws. Knowing what one fixture draws will allow you to size the lighting circuit for wire and breaker sizes.
Depends. Lamps can certainly be built to work on either AC, or DC, or both. But some lamps, particularly those with electronics in them, either a dimmable lamp, or a fluorescent lamp, may only work with one type of electricity.
According to Sylvania, their 400w lamps reach a maximum surface temperature of around 750F. This seems to be universal of all HID lamp types.

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.
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.
No. The lamp has to match the ballast. The lamp will not ignite if the wrong ballast is used.

Yes the ballast and starter are the same you can run halide in hps, but not hps in halide.
No, it is not recommended to use a 70 watt metal halide lamp with a 150 watt ballast. The lamp and ballast wattage should match to ensure proper operation and to prevent damage to the lamp or ballast. It is best to use a compatible lamp and ballast with matching wattages.
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.
There really are no advantages of an ED28 over an ED37. If they are both metal halide lamps then the only difference between them, provided they have the same wattage and color temperature, is that they have different dimensions and different size bases. They will require different size sockets and will likely require different ballasts.

For general calculations VA is the same as Watts.
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.
The ignitor in a metal halide lamp is responsible for providing the initial high voltage needed to ignite the gas inside the lamp. It generates a high voltage pulse to establish an electric arc between the electrodes, which then heats up the gas and produces the light output. Once the lamp is ignited, the ignitor is no longer needed and the lamp can operate using the ballast.
