Can you use a 100 watt metal halide bulb in a 150 watt lamp?
Not recommended. It would work but shorten lamp life and may cause risk of fire. However, if you just wanted to check a lamp was capable of striking it would be ok for a few minutes. I've done the opposite in the past and used a 150w lamp with a 100w ballast. Works, but not good for any of the components, including lamp.
Can you run a 50 watt halide bulb on a 100 watt halide ballast?
No, it is not recommended to run a 50 watt halide bulb on a 100 watt halide ballast. The ballast should match the wattage of the bulb to ensure proper operation and to avoid potential damage to the bulb and ballast. It is best to use a ballast that is rated for the wattage of the bulb being used.
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
Can you use a 39W G12 T6 bulb in a fixture with a ballast matched for 70w G12 T6 bulb?
Using a 39W G12 T6 bulb in a fixture designed for a 70W G12 T6 bulb is generally not recommended. The fixture's ballast is calibrated for the higher wattage, which could lead to improper operation, reduced efficiency, or even potential damage to the bulb or ballast. It's best to use bulbs that match the ballast specifications for optimal performance and safety.
Can you use a 400w hps bulb with a f96t12 ballast?
No, you cannot use a 400W HPS bulb with an F96T12 ballast. The F96T12 ballast is designed for fluorescent tubes, specifically T12 bulbs, and does not provide the appropriate electrical characteristics needed to operate a high-pressure sodium (HPS) bulb. HPS bulbs require a specific ballast designed for their wattage and type to function correctly and safely.
Can you use a 150w hps bulb in a 150w mh ballast?
The MH ballast will not have the ignitor required to power up the HPS bulb. I have 1000w ballast that can be switched between HPS and MH with a singe switch just by disabling the ignitor for the MH. I would look into conversion bulbs, or else check out this site for $20 150w HPS ballast with bulb. http://www.e-conolight.com/Product/EProductDetail.asp?ProductFamilyID=7&FGNumber=E-MT6H151G If it doesnt appear, sellect vapor tights, then the 150hps.

Can you use 250W metal halide bulb in a 1000W metal halide ballast?
No. The lamp has to match the ballast. The lamp will not ignite if the wrong ballast is used.
Can you use a 39W G12 T6 bulb in a fixture with a ballast matched for 70w G12 T6 bulb?

When you need to use metal halide conversion bulb?
When you want to use a MH bulb in an HPS ballast you must use a conversion bulb. It must be the same wattage as the HPS bulb

No, you cannot use a 400W HPS bulb with an F96T12 ballast. The F96T12 ballast is designed for fluorescent tubes, specifically T12 bulbs, and does not provide the appropriate electrical characteristics needed to operate a high-pressure sodium (HPS) bulb. HPS bulbs require a specific ballast designed for their wattage and type to function correctly and safely.
Can you put a 10 watt bulb in a 32 watt ballast?
Yes, you can use a 10-watt bulb with a 32-watt ballast, but it may not operate efficiently. The ballast is designed to provide the necessary starting and operating voltage for higher wattage bulbs, which could lead to flickering or a shorter lifespan for the 10-watt bulb. It's generally recommended to match the bulb wattage with the ballast for optimal performance.
Can a 34 watt T8 bulb be put in a fixture designed with a 40 watt T12 ballast?
No, it is not recommended to use a higher-wattage bulb in a fixture than what the ballast is designed for. Using a 34 watt T8 bulb with a 40 watt T12 ballast can lead to decreased efficiency, increased risk of damage to the ballast and bulb, and potential safety hazards. It is best to match the bulb wattage with the ballast rating for optimal performance and safety.
Can you use a 65 watt fluorescent bulb in a metal halide light fixture?
No, the ballast's output is not matched to operate a fluorescent bulb.
