Can you use a 70 watt high pressure sodium bulb in a 100 watt ballast?
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
Can you use a 100 watt metal halide bulb in a 150 watt lamp?
Not recommended. It would work but shorten lamp life and may cause risk of fire. However, if you just wanted to check a lamp was capable of striking it would be ok for a few minutes. I've done the opposite in the past and used a 150w lamp with a 100w ballast. Works, but not good for any of the components, including lamp.
How much electricity does a 600 watt light and ballast use?
400 watts, but has capability up to 460 watts.
Can you run a 50 watt halide bulb on a 100 watt halide ballast?
Yes.
Can you use a smaller watt bulb in a bigger fixture will it run at bulb watt or fixture watt?
Yes, because the "higher" watt energy saver bulb (cfl) is actually a lower watt bulb than a standard (incandescent). Always look at the actual watts, not the 'light equivalent watts'. 11 watt low energy tube = 60 watts of old-fashioned light. More light, less heat!

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.
Can you use a 70 watt high pressure sodium bulb in a 150 watt ballast?
No, you can not use a 150 watt high pressure sodium bulb with a 70 watt ballast.

What is the wattage on an 1057 bulb?
21 Watt
Can you replace a 150 watt hallide with a 175 watt?
no you cant if the ballast is for a 150w bulb you have to retro fit the ballast then u can

Can i run 350w metal light bulb on 400 volts ballast?
Yes, provided the bulb types are compatible with the 400 watt ballast.
How much heat energy does incandescent globe use?
Depends upon the wattage rating. A 24 watt bulb will create far less heat energy than a 100 watt bulb.
Where do you find a watt?
A watt is a measurement of electricity, usually pertaining to light. Light bulbs luminosity is graded by wattage, such as a 60 watt bulb, 100 watt bulb and so on. You would find a watt in a light bulb, to start.
