Yes, a mercury vapor lamp requires both a ballast and an ignitor to operate properly. The ballast regulates the electricity flow to the lamp, while the ignitor is needed to initially start the lamp.
An electronic ballast is a device used in Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) to regulate the electrical current passing through the lamp. It provides the initial surge of voltage required to start the lamp and maintains a stable current during operation. This helps to improve the efficiency and lifespan of the CFL lamp.
No, it is not recommended to use a 70 watt metal halide lamp with a 150 watt ballast. The lamp and ballast wattage should match to ensure proper operation and to prevent damage to the lamp or ballast. It is best to use a compatible lamp and ballast with matching wattages.
Typically, if the ballast on a fluorescent light blows, the lamp will not work. The ballast regulates the electrical current to the lamp, so if it is not functioning properly, the lamp will not receive the correct power to light up.
Typically, a bad ballast will affect both lamps in a two-lamp fluorescent fixture. However, it is possible for only one lamp to be affected if the ballast failure is isolated to one side of the ballast that powers a single lamp.

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.
No. The lamp has to match the ballast. The lamp will not ignite if the wrong ballast is used.
Typically, a bad ballast will affect both lamps in a two-lamp fluorescent fixture. However, it is possible for only one lamp to be affected if the ballast failure is isolated to one side of the ballast that powers a single lamp.
For your question, i see the ignitor means the Electronic Ballast. If you want test HID lamp electronic ballast, you can reference Lisun WT2000-HID HID Ballast Tester, this instrument is main for test HID lamp electronic ballast,
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.
No, you cannot use a 1000 watt HPS (high-pressure sodium) lamp without a ballast. The ballast is essential for regulating the electrical current flowing through the lamp, which is necessary for it to operate properly and prevent damage. Trying to operate a 1000 watt HPS lamp without a ballast can result in the lamp not lighting up or malfunctioning.
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
