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.
Can a metal halide bulb be used in the place of a mercury vapor bulb?
No, metal halide bulbs and mercury vapor bulbs are different types of lighting technology with varying operating requirements. Using a metal halide bulb in place of a mercury vapor bulb can result in inefficient operation and potentially damage the fixture. It is best to use the type of bulb specified by the manufacturer for optimal performance.
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.
Does a metal halide and mercury vapor use the same ballast?
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.
Where can one purchase metal halide lights?
Metal halide lights are available in many shapes, sizes and specifications at home furnishing stores including Home Depot and Lowe's or online at Buy Lighting and Venture Lighting.
Where can one find more information about metal halide lamps?
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'.
What are the 4 types of lighting?
The 4 types are: flourescent incandescent metal halide high pressure sodium
What has the author E W Taylor written?
E W. Taylor has written: 'Some aspects of the use of metal-halide discharge lamps for film lighting' 'The CSI 1KW metal-halide discharge lamp' 'Film lighting using metal-halide lamps' 'A study of peak multiplexed signal level in the context of 2 1/2-or 3-channel surround-sound transmissions'

What is a metal halide compound?
Common table salt NaCl is a metal halide.
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 metal halide bulb be used in the place of a mercury vapor bulb?
No, metal halide bulbs and mercury vapor bulbs are different types of lighting technology with varying operating requirements. Using a metal halide bulb in place of a mercury vapor bulb can result in inefficient operation and potentially damage the fixture. It is best to use the type of bulb specified by the manufacturer for optimal performance.
How many lumen in 100 watt metal halide?
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.
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.
What is the formula for calculating the full current load of a 400 watt metal halide light?
For the amperage of a metal halide fixture look for the nameplate which can be found on the side of the ballast. There it will tell you what the amperage of the fixture draws. Knowing what one fixture draws will allow you to size the lighting circuit for wire and breaker sizes.
