A 600W HPS bulb can reach temperatures between 300-500 degrees Fahrenheit (150-260 degrees Celsius) during operation. It is important to handle the bulb carefully and ensure proper ventilation to prevent overheating.
600w - the thicker filament has a lower resistance, which leads to a higher current and thus higher wattage
In most cases a cfl bulb can be replaced with an incandescent bulb as long as the base matches. for an example: if a cfl bulb has a GU24 base an incandescent bulb will not work! Also, ensure the wattage of the bulb does not exceed manufacturers rating.
A 250W HPS (High-Pressure Sodium) bulb uses 250 Watts of electricity when it is operating at its full power. It is important to note that the actual power consumption may vary slightly due to factors such as ballast efficiency and voltage fluctuations.
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.
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.
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
600w - the thicker filament has a lower resistance, which leads to a higher current and thus higher wattage
yes
A 250-watt HPS (High Pressure Sodium) bulb typically produces around 28,000 lumens at the initial phase of operation. However, this can decrease over time as the bulb ages.

In general no, because the extra heat produced would make it a fire hazard.
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.

No high pressure lbs require a specific ballasts to operate the bulb correctly
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.
To calculate the cost, you would need to know your electricity rate per kilowatt-hour. Assuming an average rate of $0.12 per kWh, running a 600W HPS light for 12 hours a day would cost approximately $2.88 per day. This is calculated by multiplying the wattage (600W) by the hours used (12), then dividing by 1000 to get the kilowatt-hours used per day (7.2 kWh), and finally multiplying by the cost per kWh ($0.12).
