How much power does a fluorescent fixture use with no tubes installed For example a switched on 8' fixture with a single tube with an old ballast.?
A fluorescent fixture with no tubes installed will still consume power, typically around 5-10 watts due to the ballast and other internal components. This power consumption is significantly lower compared to when the tubes are installed and the fixture is operating normally.
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.
How many watts to run double fluro light?
It depends on the type of double fluorescent fixture and the tubes you use in it. If you use regular T-12 tubes, you would use 80 watts plus whatever losses you get from the ballast (up to 20 watts). If you use energy saver T-12 tubes, you would use 68 watts plus the losses from the ballast. If you use a T-8 fixture, you would use 64 watts plus whatever losses from the electronic ballast which are next to nothing in comparison to a magnetic T-12 ballast.
On your 4 bulb fluorescent only 2 bulbs come on?
On the older fluorescent fixtures a four bulb fixture required two ballasts. Two lamps for each ballast. If you have changed the tubes and it still does not work, it sounds like one of the ballasts is not working. You might want to consider replacing the ballast with an electronic one. One electronic ballast will operate four tubes. The existing end sockets can be re used but they will have to be rewired. There is a diagram on the ballast label that shows the connections. This will allow you to use T8 lamps which are lower wattage. This will save money to you in the long run.
Can you use a 70 watt metal halide lamp in a 150 watt ballast?
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.
Are ballast compatible LED tubes suitable for use in existing lighting fixtures?
Yes, ballast compatible LED tubes are designed to work with existing lighting fixtures that have a ballast.
How much electricity does a T8 32w fluorescent light bulbs use?
These tubes need a ballast to operate the tubes. The current and voltage will be marked on the fixtures ballast.
Does a fluorescent light fitting with 4 x T8 2' 18W tubes and a 48W ballast use all 120W when running?
No, the total power consumption of the fluorescent light fitting will be 120W, including the 4 tubes and the ballast. The ballast itself consumes some power to regulate the current to the tubes, so not all 120W will be used solely by the tubes.

How long do fluorescent tubes last and what factors can affect their lifespan?
Fluorescent tubes typically last around 10,000 to 15,000 hours. Factors that can affect their lifespan include frequency of use, temperature fluctuations, and the quality of the ballast.

Does a tube light glow without starter?
yes..if we replace magnetic ballast with electronic ballast...there is no need of starter if we use electronic ballast.
