The way a metal halide light is set up, there's a transformer in it called a "ballast." The ballast powers the bulb. You can wire ballasts to a lot of different voltages--which voltages you can use are dependent on the ballast in question--but 120v single phase is almost always one of the choices. So yes, you can do it.
What else can I help you with?
Where do you find an electronic ballast wire release tool?
An electronic ballast wire release tool can typically be found at hardware stores, electrical supply stores, or online retailers that specialize in electrical tools and equipment. It may also be available for purchase from manufacturers that produce electronic ballasts.
Why does your electronic ballast hum?
Electronic ballast does not hum as much as a choke. Minute hum of electronic ballast is the small inductor and capacitor producing an oscillation for high voltage generation,
How do you test an HID lamp ignitor?
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,
What is the comm wire on a ballast?
The common wire on a ballast is used to supply power to the entire lighting fixture. It is typically connected to the incoming power source and distributes power to the individual lamp holders. The common wire ensures that the ballast functions properly and all lamps receive the necessary electricity to produce light.
When connecting chain switch what is done with the neutral wire and white wire from ballast?
The neutral wire from the chain switch is connected to the white wire from the ballast. They should be connected together using a wire nut to ensure proper circuit completion and safe operation of the light fixture.
Does a 64 falcon have a ballast resistor?
No, it has a primary resistance wire and if you are installing a electronic dizzy you need to bypass this.

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.
How do you change points distributor to electronic distributor on 72 Monte Carlo 350 engine?
The original wire that goes to the + side of the coil will either be a steel wire or have a ballast resistor inline to cut the voltage to the points. You don't want that with an HEI. Either substitute a copper wire for the steel wire, or remove the ballast resistor and install the HEI.

How do you rewire a magnetic ballast F96T12 fixture to work with a new electronic ballast?
The end sockets have to be rewired. The schematic for the rewire is on the ballast label.
What are the differences between a magnetic and electronic ballast?
A magnetic ballast uses electromagnetic induction to regulate the flow of electricity to a light fixture, while an electronic ballast uses electronic components to control the current. Magnetic ballasts are typically larger and heavier, while electronic ballasts are smaller and more energy-efficient.
What is the comm wire on a ballast?
The common wire on a ballast is used to supply power to the entire lighting fixture. It is typically connected to the incoming power source and distributes power to the individual lamp holders. The common wire ensures that the ballast functions properly and all lamps receive the necessary electricity to produce light.
Why does magnetic ballast take more power than an electronic ballast?
Because it wastes less energy in the form of heat.
How should I properly wire a fluorescent light ballast?
To properly wire a fluorescent light ballast, follow these steps: Turn off the power to the light fixture. Remove the old ballast and disconnect the wires. Match the wire colors from the new ballast to the corresponding wires in the fixture. Use wire connectors to secure the connections. Mount the new ballast in place. Turn the power back on and test the light. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and consult a professional if needed.
I've changed the bulbs in a 40 inch fluorescent light fixture but it still goes out. What might be wrong?
It sounds like your ballast is malfunctioning. If it is a magnetic ballast it will probably have tar protruding out of it and the ballast will be very hot. Buy a new electronic ballast. Change the wiring to the end sockets like it is shown on the electronic ballast print that can be found on its label. You will need new tubes for the new ballast. Diameter will be T-8.
