Do you have to use a ballasts for a 250 watt metal halide?
Yes, the ballast is an intricate part of the fixture that the lamp screws into regardless of what size wattage the lamp is.
Will pulse start lamp work with metal halide ballast?
A pulse start lamp can work with a metal halide ballast, but compatibility depends on the specific ballast and lamp type. It's essential to ensure that the ballast is rated for pulse start lamps, as not all metal halide ballasts are designed for this purpose. If the ballast is compatible, the pulse start lamp can provide improved efficiency and better performance compared to standard metal halide lamps. Always consult the manufacturer's specifications for optimal results.
Will metal halide ballast work pulse start lamp?
Metal halide ballasts are designed for standard metal halide lamps and may not work properly with pulse start lamps, which require a different starting method. Pulse start lamps typically need a specific type of ballast that provides a higher starting voltage to ignite the lamp. Using a standard metal halide ballast could result in insufficient performance or even damage to the lamp. Always check compatibility with the manufacturer's specifications before use.
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.
Can you use metal halide bulb in Uhp ballast?
It depends if its AC or DC, you have to match the Watts and the AC/DC.. so for example a 150watt UHP AC ballast will work with a 150watt AC metal halide bulb. dont take my word on this though, this is 2nd hand information.
What is a metal halide compound?
Common table salt NaCl is a metal halide.
What are advantages of ed28 metal halide lamp over a ed37 metal halide lamp?
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.
What is the difference between an HQI metal halide lamp and a regular metal halide lamp?
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.
Can A 70 watt metal halide bulb be replaced with A 150 watt halide bulb?
No. A 70 Watt metal halide bulb can not be replaced with a 150 Watt halide bulb.
Are metal halide and mercury vapor ballast interchangeable?
No, metal halide and mercury vapor ballasts are not interchangeable. Each type of ballast is designed to operate specific lamp types with different electrical requirements and characteristics. Using the wrong ballast can lead to improper lamp function, reduced efficiency, or even damage to the lamp or ballast. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications for compatibility.
How does a metal halide ballast work?
A metal halide ballast works just by transforming the line voltage into much more useful voltage to the metal halide, and by regulating the current so that the bulb will have its useful life at the most.
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.
