Metal Halide lamps produce many more ANSI lumens than an LED lamps. However, given this fact, many manufacturers are focusing their production on LED technology because they produce light that lasts 4 to 10 times longer, and they do not get hot like metal halide lamps.
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.
A pulse start lamp can work with a metal halide ballast, but compatibility depends on the specific ballast and lamp type. It's essential to ensure that the ballast is rated for pulse start lamps, as not all metal halide ballasts are designed for this purpose. If the ballast is compatible, the pulse start lamp can provide improved efficiency and better performance compared to standard metal halide lamps. Always consult the manufacturer's specifications for optimal results.
The cost to dispose of 400w metal-halide lamps can vary depending on location and specific disposal regulations. It is recommended to contact local waste management facilities or recycling centers to inquire about the disposal costs and methods for these lamps.
Metal halide ballasts are designed for standard metal halide lamps and may not work properly with pulse start lamps, which require a different starting method. Pulse start lamps typically need a specific type of ballast that provides a higher starting voltage to ignite the lamp. Using a standard metal halide ballast could result in insufficient performance or even damage to the lamp. Always check compatibility with the manufacturer's specifications before use.
Typical LOR (lumen output ratio) of a reasonable MH downlight would be around 0.6 meaning that you get 60% of the lumen output of the lamp out of the fitting. Any manufacturer should be able to provide the LOR for a particular fitting
An HQI metal halide lamp belongs to the family of metal halide HID lamps. Hydrargyum quartz iodide (HQI) lamps differ from standard metal halide lamps in that they are often smaller and are offered in double ended versions and require a special socket. The gasses and metal halide salts used in HQI and standard metal halide lamps are the same.
A 100-watt metal halide lamp typically produces around 8,000 to 10,000 lumens, depending on the specific design and efficiency of the bulb. This lumen output can vary based on factors such as the manufacturer and the lamp's age. Metal halide lamps are known for their bright, white light, making them popular for outdoor and commercial lighting applications.

Technically yes.But you need to check the practicality of it.
Metal halide lamps are featured in gardening, home and lighting and reef keeping websites. There is a lot of information about them on the website 'the reef tank'.
A metal halide lamp's Harmonized Tariff number would fall in the category of "8539.32.00 Mercury or sodium vapor lamps; metal halide lamps". See "Related Links" below for the US government's online list of Harmonized Tariffs.
