Make sure you are using a metal halide bulb and the ballast is matched to the wattage on the bulb. These both must be correct.
When you want to use a MH bulb in an HPS ballast you must use a conversion bulb. It must be the same wattage as the HPS bulb
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.
A flashlight is a series circuit. The batteries positive end connects to the flashlights switch. The switch connects to the center pin of the light bulb. The bulb filament is connected to the center pin of the bulb and the outer metal shell of the bulb socket. The shell of the bulb socket is connected to the metal flashlight's body which returns to the negative end of the battery. Turn on the switch and you have light.
Input to light bulb is Electricity and output is light.
No. A 70 Watt metal halide bulb can not be replaced with a 150 Watt halide bulb.
No, the ballast's output is not matched to operate a fluorescent bulb.
No, a fluorescent bulb does not emit the same amount of heat as a metal halide bulb of the same wattage.
It depends......perhaps 7400 to 8500 initial lumens degrading to 5400 lumens.
as long as the sockets for th bulb are the same and it is not a high pressure sodium or metal halide light
Make sure you are using a metal halide bulb and the ballast is matched to the wattage on the bulb. These both must be correct.
A halogen bulb is a traditional tungsten filament bulb filled with a noble gas that gives off a soft, yellowish light. In a metal halide bulb, the light emitted is bright white or even bluish. They have a longer life than halogen bulbs, but their brightness can diminish over time.
The light bulb needs to match the ballast in the fixture.
No. The lamp has to match the ballast. The lamp will not ignite if the wrong ballast is used.
A metal halide ballast works just by transforming the line voltage into much more useful voltage to the metal halide, and by regulating the current so that the bulb will have its useful life at the most.
You need the appropriate ballast for either of these bulbs to make them light.
They are most likely a type of metal halide bulb. <<>> The above answer bulb has a bright white light output. If the light output has an orange look about it then the bulb is a high pressure sodium lamp.
