Yes, all high pressure sodium fixtures require a ballast to operate the fixture's lamp. Most of these industrial fixtures come with a multi tap primary on the ballast so that they can be used on multiple voltages.
No, a 1000w HPS ballast is designed to power one 1000w HPS light bulb. If you want to power two lights, you would need to use a ballast with enough power output for two lights, like a 2000w HPS 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.
No, you cannot use a 1000 watt HPS (high-pressure sodium) lamp without a ballast. The ballast is essential for regulating the electrical current flowing through the lamp, which is necessary for it to operate properly and prevent damage. Trying to operate a 1000 watt HPS lamp without a ballast can result in the lamp not lighting up or malfunctioning.
A higher wattage HPS bulb may work with a ballast that is rated for a lower wattage bulb , but may appear to be dim and will not produce the rated light output. It is best to match ballast and bulb accordingly.
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.

No!
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.
I would wire them together in a parellel circut. all the lights together, white to white black to black then put your ballast to em. it works like that with my 400 watt mh/hps ballast and 2 250 watt hps bulbs. run 2 hps bulbs with 2 mh bulbs if you can, you get better results.

Yes the ballast and starter are the same you can run halide in hps, but not hps in halide.
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
To remove ballast for LED lights, you need to disconnect the power source, remove the existing ballast, and rewire the fixture directly to the power source. This will ensure that the LED lights operate efficiently without the need for a 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.
Yes, you typically need to remove the ballast when installing LED lights to ensure proper functioning and efficiency.
