No, it is not recommended to run a 50 watt halide bulb on a 100 watt halide ballast. The ballast should match the wattage of the bulb to ensure proper operation and to avoid potential damage to the bulb and ballast. It is best to use a ballast that is rated for the wattage of the bulb being used.

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.
