Will a hps luminaire run a metal halide lamp?
Yes the ballast and starter are the same you can run halide in hps, but not hps in halide.
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.
How do you rewire a 400 watt metal halide shop light to run on 110?
400w is the power 110 is the voltage. Is your light using 110v already or 220v? Believe you are already running at 110 and u don't understand electrical terms. Perhaps you should call an electrician
You have two wall lights on one wall connected to one switch you want to change one light to an outlet and keep the other light on the switch How can you do this?
This depends on the specific way your installation is wired. Most likely, though, you will not be able to just change one light fixture to an outlet. Lights that are controlled together are wired with a common hot wire called a switch leg. This switch leg is connected to the switch so that when the switch is on, the wire is hot. This lights your fixtures. To change a light fixture into an outlet, you need a constantly hot wire. This wire is connected to the light switch screw opposite the switch leg. In your situation, you probably need to run new wires to the new outlet which carry this constant hot and a neutral. Or you would have to bypass the switch (wire nut the hot and switch leg together) and install outlets at both light fixture locations. Simply stated, this is not really an easy fix but more of something for an electrician to do. ----If you do not understand the work well enough to accomplish it yourself properly and safely, don't try it. Consult a professional electrician, as they are proficient enough to do it properly and safely. When working on electrical circuits and equipment, make sure to de-energize the circuit you will be working on. Then test the circuit with a definitive means to make sure it is off (multimeter with metal tipped leads, voltage tester with metal tipped leads, etc., NOT a non-contact tester, which is not definitive.)
How do you wire 4 different switches to one power source?
At least two different methods. One is to run power from panel to one light, then to the next, then next, then next. Run separate cable from each light to the switch location where you want the control. Other way is to run power from panel (hot, neutral and ground) to first switch box, then an identical cable to the light #1, contine always hot wire from switch box 1 to switch box 2, then identical cable to light 2, repeat 2 moe times. If you are talking about 4 switches in one box, use pigtails from incoming (from panel) hot to each switch--then apply that concept to the options listed above for switches in different locations. Watch and anticipate/plan how many conductors will be in each box and check code for maximum wires in various size boxes.
Can you use 14-3 wire to power metal halide light outside?
The question isn't what you're powering with a particular gauge of wire, but what's the current draw. If the metal halide light can run on a 15 Amp breaker (from the breaker panel), fine use your metal halide in your residential application and run it on the 14 gauge wire.
Will a hps luminaire run a metal halide lamp?
Yes the ballast and starter are the same you can run halide in hps, but not hps in halide.
Will a metal halide light run a high pressure sodium lamp?
yes No Rafe, it will not. Remember when you tried it.

How much does it cost a month to run metal halide lights for fish tanks?
100 rupees
Can you plug a ballast into a 120V outlet that is normally meant for 240V outlets if it's a 400W metal halide light bought in Korea and will it run in the US?
No, but it's usually quite easy to run a 220V line to wherever you want to put the bulb.
Can you run a 50 watt halide bulb on a 100 watt halide ballast?
Yes.
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.

Will a mh luminaire run a hps lamp?
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.
Could a blown pilot light cause hot water to not run?
yes
If you can run hot water over a lid it gets loose and you can open it how is that possible?
It works best with a metal lid on glass. When the metal lid gets hot from the hot water it expands. The glass doesn't expand as much as metal so the tight seal that the lid had on the glass gets loosened as the lid gets slightly larger.
