No. Just make sure that the ballast you use is rated for at least

as many watts as the lighting you plan to operate with it.

How do reduce density of concrete?

Add ballast that is less dense than the gravel/sand in the concrete such as LECA (Light Expanded Clay Aggregate).


Can you use a 125v unnotched cable with a notched socket 120v ballast for your 1000 watt HID light fixture if you add a notch to the cord or remove the notch from the socket?

See discussion page for more.


What is the best HID light?

It is dependant on your make and model. You can either upgrade the entire headlight unit, or replace the bulb and add a ballast unit. In either case, you must ensure the headlight beam pattern is correct.


How do you convert kg of Ballast into cubic metres?

1.75 tonnes 1,750 kg of ballast is one cubic metre, if its concrete then you'd need to add 300kg of cement to mix this to the right ratio for a foundation.


What happens when you add two primary colors of light together?

You create the secondary light colours:Red and green light create yellow.Red and blue light create magenta.Green and blue light create cyan.


What light color do you add to red light to get black light?

The color of light is made by adding all of the colors of parts of light, called wavelengths, together. Color is made by removing certain wavelengths of the light, and white is made by adding them all together. Black is the absence of light, so instead of adding a color of light to red, you will subtract the red light and leave no light.


Can a motor run capacitor be used in a HID light?

Yes, but you should add a bleed resistor in parallel to a motor run cap if you want to use it for a hid ballast to drain the cap when its not in use, this is to avoid dangerous voltages remaining in the cap, and remove the potential for electrocution


Why is white light considered as the composition of all colors?

It's not "considered"...it IS the composition of all colors! Light works differently than paint. When you add more and more colors of paint together, you get black paint. When you add more and more colors of light, you get what we call "white" light. It's also referred to as color addition.


Do oil Tankers travel empty?

Almost. They need to add some ballast to keep enough of the prop and the rudder submerged, but the big holds are empty.


What is a standard form?

Its when you add all the numbers together

I am building a submarine what is the best thing to use for a ballast?

Modern submarines use a variety of methods for ballast control. There are several factors that need to be considered:1. Overall water displacement surfaced and submerged2. Combined estimated weight of supplies and personnel aboard3. Fixed Ballast (weights, etc.)4. Main Ballast5. Trim BallastYour overall displacement estimate will give you the target for how much fixed ballast you'll need to add for an estimate to keep the boat at submerged depth at neutral buoyancy while surfaced (most of the boat below the waterline). Keep in mind that ballasting requirements are different for fresh and saltwater.You have to know the estimate of weight of all personnel, equipment and supplies onboard as well, since that also counts as part of the fixed ballast load. Knowing that allows you to know how much Trim ballast (used for maintaining more precise depth control and neutral buoyancy) you'll need to add or remove to achieve neutral buoyancy after you open the Main Ballast vents and submerge.Any ballast you use must be distributed evenly across the keel, or you risk being heavy forward, aft, port or starboard. This is why Trim Ballast tanks are used also - they allow for precision leveling of the boat after submergence.Without knowing your fixed ballast weight and how much Trim Ballast to add or remove, you can easily sink to the bottom or not submerge at all, though sinking is the more likely scenario. It's easy to sink a submarine - the trick is to get it back to the surface. As long as the number of dives equals the number of surfaces, everything's cool. If not, you're in for a bad day at work.
