A 400 watt Mercury vapor light bulb produces roughly 23,000 lumens. In comparison to a 400 watt metal haloid and or high-pressure sodium, not as good. Metal haliod and high-pressure sodium produces 30,000 lumens.

∙ 12y agoA 100W incandescent light bulb typically produces around 1600 lumens of light.
A 1,000 watt is 15,000 lumens. A 100 watt bulb is 1,500 lumens.
The light-producing element in a fluorescent bulb is mercury vapor. When electricity passes through the gas, it emits ultraviolet light that then excites the phosphor coating inside the bulb, causing it to emit visible light.
Blue light bulbs typically use a gas called mercury vapor to produce light. When an electric current passes through the mercury vapor, it creates ultraviolet light which then interacts with a phosphor coating on the inside of the bulb to produce visible blue light.
A typical sodium vapor bulb can produce around 100 lumens per watt of power consumed. So, if the bulb is, for example, 150 watts, it can produce around 15,000 lumens per hour.
To calculate the efficiency of a light bulb, you would divide the light output (measured in lumens) by the power input (measured in watts). This will give you the number of lumens per watt, which is a measure of how efficiently the light bulb converts electricity into visible light. The higher the lumens per watt value, the more efficient the light bulb.
A fluorescent light bulb produces light when electricity passes through a gas or vapor, typically mercury vapor, inside the bulb. This process produces ultraviolet light, which then causes the phosphor coating on the inside of the bulb to fluoresce, emitting visible light. So, in this case, the state of matter involved is gas or vapor inside the bulb.
The intensity of a light bulb indicates how bright the light it emits is. It is measured in lumens, with higher lumens indicating a brighter light. The intensity of a light bulb can affect the ambiance and functionality of a room.

Dude! Did you not read your question??? You said Mercury Vapor! You don't fix it! It's Mercury vapor. You're "playing with fire there." You need to call your local municipality/township and find out where the nearest hazardous disposal facility is for this bulb and dispose of it properly. Then go to the store and buy a new bulb.
The number of lumens produced by a 34 watt bulb depends on the type of bulb. As a general estimation, a standard incandescent bulb produces around 400-500 lumens per 40 watts, so a 34 watt bulb would likely produce slightly fewer lumens, around 350-450 lumens. However, different bulb technologies such as LED or CFL can produce a higher number of lumens with lower wattage.
Approximately, 750 lumens is equivalent to a 60-watt incandescent light bulb.
