What else can I help you with?
Can you run a 50 watt halide bulb on a 100 watt halide ballast?
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 put a 10 watt bulb in a 32 watt ballast?
Yes, you can use a 10-watt bulb with a 32-watt ballast, but it may not operate efficiently. The ballast is designed to provide the necessary starting and operating voltage for higher wattage bulbs, which could lead to flickering or a shorter lifespan for the 10-watt bulb. It's generally recommended to match the bulb wattage with the ballast for optimal performance.
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 a 34 watt T8 bulb be put in a fixture designed with a 40 watt T12 ballast?
No, it is not recommended to use a higher-wattage bulb in a fixture than what the ballast is designed for. Using a 34 watt T8 bulb with a 40 watt T12 ballast can lead to decreased efficiency, increased risk of damage to the ballast and bulb, and potential safety hazards. It is best to match the bulb wattage with the ballast rating for optimal performance and safety.
Can you run a 250 wattage bulb on a 600 watt ballast?
Yes, you can run a 250-watt bulb on a 600-watt ballast, as long as the ballast is compatible with the bulb type (e.g., metal halide or high-pressure sodium). The ballast will provide the necessary power, but the bulb will only draw what it needs, which is 250 watts in this case. However, it's important to ensure that the ballast is designed to handle the lower wattage without causing any issues, such as flickering or reduced lifespan of the bulb. Always consult the manufacturer's specifications to confirm compatibility.
Can you run a 50 watt halide bulb on a 100 watt halide ballast?
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.

It's generally recommended to match the bulb wattage with the ballast for optimal performance.
Can a 175 watt metal halide bulb be used in a 100 watt ballast fixture?
No, a 175-watt metal halide bulb should not be used in a 100-watt ballast fixture. The wattage of the bulb must match the ballast's rating for optimal performance and safety. Using a bulb with a higher wattage than the ballast can lead to overheating, reduced lifespan, and potential damage to both the bulb and the ballast. Always ensure compatibility between the bulb and ballast specifications.
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 run a 250 wattage bulb on a 600 watt ballast?
Yes, you can run a 250-watt bulb on a 600-watt ballast, as long as the ballast is compatible with the bulb type (e.g., metal halide or high-pressure sodium). The ballast will provide the necessary power, but the bulb will only draw what it needs, which is 250 watts in this case. However, it's important to ensure that the ballast is designed to handle the lower wattage without causing any issues, such as flickering or reduced lifespan of the bulb. Always consult the manufacturer's specifications to confirm compatibility.
What size ballast do you need for a 430 watt high pressure sodium bulb?
430 watt bulbs are made to juice a little more light from a standard 400 watt ballast. you get about 3-5000 more lumens. A typical 400 watt HPS produces about 50-55,000 lumens. The 430 will put out about 58,000. Not a lot, but a little extra without any increase in power usage.
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.
Can you use a 70 watt high pressure sodium bulb in a 150 watt ballast?
No, you can not use a 150 watt high pressure sodium bulb with a 70 watt ballast.
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.
