Which light is brighter Metal Halide or mercury Vapor?
Metal Halide lights are generally brighter than mercury vapor lights. Metal halide lights produce a higher quality and more natural light, making them a popular choice for outdoor lighting in stadiums, parking lots, and other large commercial spaces. Mercury vapor lights tend to have a bluish-green tint and are less bright compared to metal halide lights.
Can you replace a mercury vapor bulb with a metal halide?
Yes, you can replace a mercury vapor bulb with a metal halide bulb as they are both types of HID (high-intensity discharge) lighting. However, you may need to also replace the ballast to match the new bulb type, as metal halide bulbs usually require a different ballast. Additionally, check the wattage and size of the new metal halide bulb to ensure it is compatible with the fixture.
How many fluorescent tubes equal 1000 watt metal halide light?
It would depend on the wattage of the fluorescent tubes. As a rough estimate, you would need about 6-8 standard 40-watt fluorescent tubes to approximate the light output of a 1000-watt metal halide bulb.
Can A 70 watt metal halide bulb be replaced with A 150 watt halide bulb?
No. A 70 Watt metal halide bulb can not be replaced with a 150 Watt halide bulb.
Can a 400 watt high pressure sodium bulb be used in a 400 watt metal halide ballast?
I actually have a 400w hps ballast and I can also use my 400w metal halide bulb in it with no problem. So what your saying is they do, but they dont? the answer is, they dont. You can get universal bulbs hps to plug into a mh ballast they have a miniturized igniter inside the bulb. As I understand it, a 400W metal halide bulb can be used with a 400W hps ballast, but not the converse. A MH bulb has the igniter in the bulb, and the HPS has it in the ballast--which pretty much goes along with your comment above. Apparently the double presence of the igniter in the HPS setup is OK.you can run metal halide in same wattage's but not hps in metal halide systems.you can run such as (same wattage's)250 watt metal halide-400 watt halide ect in hps systems but not hps bulbs in halide systems. they make conversion bulbs to run halide in hps as well and vice versa.
Does a fluorescent bulb emit the same amount of heat as a metal halide bulb of the same wattage?
No, a fluorescent bulb does not emit the same amount of heat as a metal halide bulb of the same wattage.
Can you use a 400W high pressure sodium bulb in a metal halide ballast?
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.
Why Metal halide fixture with a 175 w bulb and correct ballast could overheat?
Make sure you are using a metal halide bulb and the ballast is matched to the wattage on the bulb. These both must be correct.
Can you use a sodium lamp in a mercury ballast?
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.

Can a 175 watt metal halide bulb be used in a 100 watt ballast fixture?
No, a 175-watt metal halide bulb should not be used in a 100-watt ballast fixture. The wattage of the bulb must match the ballast's rating for optimal performance and safety. Using a bulb with a higher wattage than the ballast can lead to overheating, reduced lifespan, and potential damage to both the bulb and the ballast. Always ensure compatibility between the bulb and ballast specifications.
Do you have to use a ballasts for a 250 watt metal halide?
Yes, the ballast is an intricate part of the fixture that the lamp screws into regardless of what size wattage the lamp is.
What is a metal halide compound?
Common table salt NaCl is a metal halide.
How many fluorescent tubes equal 1000 watt metal halide light?
It would depend on the wattage of the fluorescent tubes. As a rough estimate, you would need about 6-8 standard 40-watt fluorescent tubes to approximate the light output of a 1000-watt metal halide bulb.
What is the difference between an HQI metal halide lamp and a regular metal halide lamp?
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.
Can A 70 watt metal halide bulb be replaced with A 150 watt halide bulb?
No. A 70 Watt metal halide bulb can not be replaced with a 150 Watt halide bulb.
