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.
Yes the ballast and starter are the same you can run halide in hps, but not hps in halide.
A 1450 watt coffee maker will use around 13 amps at 110 volts.
To answer this question the voltage needs to be known.
a 220 volt, 3200 watt oven will draw under 15 amps, so yes a 2o amp breaker will work.
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.
I would wire them together in a parellel circut. all the lights together, white to white black to black then put your ballast to em. it works like that with my 400 watt mh/hps ballast and 2 250 watt hps bulbs. run 2 hps bulbs with 2 mh bulbs if you can, you get better results.
Yes the ballast and starter are the same you can run halide in hps, but not hps in halide.
No!
The cost will depend on your electricity tariff.
It will not. A HPS lamp has a much lower ignition current than a MH lamp. There are lamps called "multi-vapor' "MVH" that will work in a MH luminaire. you can run metal halide in hps but not hps in halides.
sure. Will it be loud? No. Its just not enough power to drive that sub.
Depends on what your willing to spend.. For two 1200 watt subs I would go with a 1200 watt amp and run both of then 600 watts ( you don't want to always run subs to full power, because the voice coil might blow or you will light your subs on fire). If your feeling brave you can run a 2000 watt amp 0_o that will annoy your neighbours, but make your car bump!
run what one takes more power????
A 1000 watt generator cannot run a 1500 watt ceramic heater without having problems.
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.
Solar panels are ridiculously expensive. A small 130 watt unit costs almost $600. To run your house on solar panels you are looking at thousands of dollars.
