No. The bulb has to match the ballast wattage exactly. And you can't interchange different lamps (like metal halide) either. The ballast is specific to that wattage and lamp type. The bulb will either burn out quickly or just not work properly at all
No, the ballast must match the lamp wattage.
No, it always need a ballast to go with the lamp.
No, you can not use a metal halide lamp without a ballast.
No, you can not use a 150 watt high pressure sodium bulb with a 70 watt ballast.
You need the appropriate ballast for either of these bulbs to make them light.
Yes, a ballast is required for HPS (high-pressure sodium) lights. The ballast helps regulate the electrical current and provides the initial high voltage needed to start the lamp. Without a ballast, the HPS light would not function properly.
High pressured sodium is commonly used for different types of lighting, such as the ones used to grow plants inside during the cold weather. The artificial light provides the uv rays in the light spectrum that plants need to grow without needing to be exposed to the sun.
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.
430 watt bulbs are made to juice a little more light from a standard 400 watt ballast. you get about 3-5000 more lumens. A typical 400 watt HPS produces about 50-55,000 lumens. The 430 will put out about 58,000. Not a lot, but a little extra without any increase in power usage.
No, you can not use a 150 watt high pressure sodium bulb with a 70 watt ballast.
You need the appropriate ballast for either of these bulbs to make them light.
The 400W high pressure Sodium bulb contains a silver lining inside the frame to give better reflection of light. However, no silver is found inside the bulb.
Yes, a ballast is required for HPS (high-pressure sodium) lights. The ballast helps regulate the electrical current and provides the initial high voltage needed to start the lamp. Without a ballast, the HPS light would not function properly.
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.
The High pressure sodium grow lights kits usually contain a ballast, a reflector, a lamp, a power cord and plug. But, the items may vary by the brands of kits you purchase.
my HP sodium light just quit working. How can I tell if the bulb is out or the fixture mounted on the pole is bad. Hate to pay $35 for a bulb if the fixture is the culprit.
The bulb should be in the red end of the light spectrum. One HID lamp is the high pressure sodium lamp.
High pressured sodium is commonly used for different types of lighting, such as the ones used to grow plants inside during the cold weather. The artificial light provides the uv rays in the light spectrum that plants need to grow without needing to be exposed to the sun.
A 400 watt Mercury vapor light bulb produces roughly 23,000 lumens. In comparison to a 400 watt metal haloid and or high-pressure sodium, not as good. Metal haliod and high-pressure sodium produces 30,000 lumens.
6000 watts should be enough. Good luck!
as long as the sockets for th bulb are the same and it is not a high pressure sodium or metal halide light
