Which light is brighter Metal Halide or mercury Vapor?

Between Metal Halide and Mercury Vapor the higher output is emitted from the Metal Halide lamp.


Can you use a 70 watt metal halide lamp in a 150 watt ballast?

Yes assuming the ballast is also for a metal halide lamp.


Does a metal halide and mercury vapor use the same ballast?

No. A mercury vapor lamp will work on a metal halide ballast, but not the other way around.


What are advantages of ed28 metal halide lamp over a ed37 metal halide lamp?

There really are no advantages of an ED28 over an ED37. If they are both metal halide lamps then the only difference between them, provided they have the same wattage and color temperature, is that they have different dimensions and different size bases. They will require different size sockets and will likely require different ballasts.


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.

What is the difference between an HQI metal halide lamp and a regular metal halide lamp?

An HQI metal halide lamp belongs to the family of metal halide HID lamps. Hydrargyum quartz iodide (HQI) lamps differ from standard metal halide lamps in that they are often smaller and are offered in double ended versions and require a special socket. The gasses and metal halide salts used in HQI and standard metal halide lamps are the same.

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 250W metal halide bulb in a 1000W metal halide ballast?

No. The lamp has to match the ballast. The lamp will not ignite if the wrong ballast is used.


Can you use a 70 watt metal halide lamp in a 150 watt ballast?

Yes assuming the ballast is also for a metal halide lamp.


What is the lumen's of a 70 watt metal halide lamp?

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.


Does a metal halide and mercury vapor use the same ballast?

No. A mercury vapor lamp will work on a metal halide ballast, but not the other way around.


What is the Harmonized Tariff number for a Metal halide lamp?

A metal halide lamp's Harmonized Tariff number would fall in the category of "8539.32.00 Mercury or sodium vapor lamps; metal halide lamps". See "Related Links" below for the US government's online list of Harmonized Tariffs.
