For your question, i see the ignitor means the Electronic Ballast. If you want test HID lamp electronic ballast, you can reference Lisun WT2000-HID HID Ballast Tester, this instrument is main for test HID lamp electronic ballast,
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.
Mercury lamps typically operate at voltages ranging from 100 volts to 600 volts, depending on the specific type and size of the lamp. The exact operating voltage required will be specified by the manufacturer in the lamp's technical specifications. It is essential to follow the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure safe and optimal performance of the mercury lamp.
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.
To test a lamp ignitor, first, ensure the power is off. Then, use a multimeter to check for continuity by connecting the probes to the ignitor's input and output terminals. If there is no continuity, the ignitor may be faulty and needs replacing.
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.

Similiar to a flourescent light. The ignitor provides a high voltage potential to excite the sodium gas within the bulb.
Mercury vapour contained in an evacuated glass bulb.Vapour warmed.High voltage applied to electrodes inside lamp.Vapour conducts and allows current flow, excitation causes vapour to glow brightly.Little or no resistance, so requires a ballast in line.

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.

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.
Purchase a new bulb and see if it works. If it does, the ballast is good, if it does't the ballast is bad. Return the new bulb and purchase a new ballast. Or, just buy a new fixture....its cheaper.
No, it is not recommended to use a mercury lamp in a metal halide ballast. Mercury lamps and metal halide lamps have different operating characteristics and using them interchangeably can result in poor performance, reduced lamp life, and potential safety hazards. It is important to use the correct type of lamp for the corresponding ballast.
