Why Metal halide fixture with a 175 w bulb and correct ballast could overheat?
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 need to use metal halide conversion bulb?
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
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.
What type of a circuit do flashlights use?
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.
What is the input or output of the light bulb?
Input to light bulb is Electricity and output is light.
Can A 70 watt metal halide bulb be replaced with A 150 watt halide bulb?
No. A 70 Watt metal halide bulb can not be replaced with a 150 Watt halide bulb.
Can you use a 65 watt fluorescent bulb in a metal halide light fixture?
No, the ballast's output is not matched to operate a fluorescent bulb.
Does a fluorescent bulb emit the same amount of heat as a metal halide bulb of the same wattage?
No, a fluorescent bulb does not emit the same amount of heat as a metal halide bulb of the same wattage.
What is the voltage at a 100 watt metal halide light bulb?
It depends......perhaps 7400 to 8500 initial lumens degrading to 5400 lumens.
Can you replace a mercury vapor bulb with a metal halide?
Yes, you can replace a mercury vapor bulb with a metal halide bulb as they are both types of HID (high-intensity discharge) lighting. However, you may need to also replace the ballast to match the new bulb type, as metal halide bulbs usually require a different ballast. Additionally, check the wattage and size of the new metal halide bulb to ensure it is compatible with the fixture.
Why Metal halide fixture with a 175 w bulb and correct ballast could overheat?
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.
Can you replace a 150 watt metal halide lamp with a 175 watt?
The light bulb needs to match the ballast in the fixture.
Can a metal halide bulb be used in the place of a mercury vapor bulb?
No, metal halide bulbs and mercury vapor bulbs are different types of lighting technology with varying operating requirements. Using a metal halide bulb in place of a mercury vapor bulb can result in inefficient operation and potentially damage the fixture. It is best to use the type of bulb specified by the manufacturer for optimal performance.
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.
How does a metal halide ballast work?
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.
What does BT28 mean on metal halide bulb?
BT28 refers to the bulb shape and size for a metal halide lamp. The "B" indicates it is a bulb shape, the "T" stands for tubular shape, and "28" refers to the diameter of the bulb in eighths of an inch, so a BT28 bulb has a diameter of 3.5 inches.
How many fluorescent tubes equal 1000 watt metal halide light?
It would depend on the wattage of the fluorescent tubes. As a rough estimate, you would need about 6-8 standard 40-watt fluorescent tubes to approximate the light output of a 1000-watt metal halide bulb.
