An HQI metal halide lamp belongs to the family of metal halide HID lamps. Hydrargyum quartz iodide (HQI) lamps differ from standard metal halide lamps in that they are often smaller and are offered in double ended versions and require a special socket. The gasses and metal halide salts used in HQI and standard metal halide lamps are the same.

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.

6000lm

Yes the ballast and starter are the same

you can run halide in hps, but not hps in halide.

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.

A metal halide lamp's Harmonized Tariff number would fall in the category of "8539.32.00 Mercury or sodium vapor lamps; metal halide lamps". See "Related Links" below for the US government's online list of Harmonized Tariffs.

The ed28 metal halide lamp typically has a smaller size and lighter weight compared to the ed37 metal halide lamp, making it more suitable for fixtures with space constraints. Additionally, the ed28 lamp may provide more focused light output due to its smaller diameter, which can result in better light distribution and efficiency in certain applications.

To grow marijuana in the vegetative stage. HPS for flowering

For general calculations VA is the same as Watts.

No you can't. You can use a metal halide lamp of the exact wattage of the original mercury lamp. You cannot vary on wattage at all.

Yes. However it would be recommended that you use a metal halide bulb that is specially made for indoor horticulture.

yes No Rafe, it will not. Remember when you tried it.

Yes, the ballast is an intricate part of the fixture that the lamp screws into regardless of what size wattage the lamp is.

Metal Halide lights are generally brighter than mercury vapor lights. Metal halide lights produce a higher quality and more natural light, making them a popular choice for outdoor lighting in stadiums, parking lots, and other large commercial spaces. Mercury vapor lights tend to have a bluish-green tint and are less bright compared to metal halide lights.

Tubular Meta Halide Lamp

No, metal halide and mercury vapor lamps do not use the same ballast. Metal halide lamps require a ballast specifically designed for metal halide lamps, while mercury vapor lamps require a ballast designed for mercury vapor lamps. Using the wrong ballast can result in poor performance and potential safety hazards.

No, it is not recommended to use a mercury lamp in a metal halide ballast. Mercury lamps and metal halide lamps have different operating characteristics and using them interchangeably can result in poor performance, reduced lamp life, and potential safety hazards. It is important to use the correct type of lamp for the corresponding ballast.

You can generally determine if a halophane light is metal halide or high pressure sodium by looking at the color of the light it emits. Metal halide lights produce a white or bluish-white light, while high pressure sodium lights emit a yellowish-orange light. Additionally, you can refer to the manufacturer's specifications or labels on the light fixture for more information.

The ignitor in a metal halide lamp is responsible for providing the initial high voltage needed to ignite the gas inside the lamp. It generates a high voltage pulse to establish an electric arc between the electrodes, which then heats up the gas and produces the light output. Once the lamp is ignited, the ignitor is no longer needed and the lamp can operate using the ballast.

The light bulb needs to match the ballast in the fixture.

I actually have a 400w hps ballast and I can also use my 400w metal halide bulb in it with no problem.

So what your saying is they do, but they dont? the answer is, they dont. You can get universal bulbs hps to plug into a mh ballast they have a miniturized igniter inside the bulb.

As I understand it, a 400W metal halide bulb can be used with a 400W hps ballast, but not the converse. A MH bulb has the igniter in the bulb, and the HPS has it in the ballast--which pretty much goes along with your comment above. Apparently the double presence of the igniter in the HPS setup is OK.you can run metal halide in same wattage's but not hps in metal halide systems.you can run such as (same wattage's)250 watt metal halide-400 watt halide ect in hps systems but not hps bulbs in halide systems. they make conversion bulbs to run halide in hps as well and vice versa.

Common table salt NaCl is a metal halide.

Tubular Meta Halide Lamp

You would need to use a transformer to step down the voltage from 240V to 120V. Make sure to select a transformer that is rated for the power consumption of the metal halide lamp and have a qualified electrician perform the installation to ensure safety and proper operation.

The abbreviations are CFL - Compact Fluorescent Lamp, MHL - Metal Halide Lamp, HPMV - High Pressure Mercury Vapor, and one more is HPS - High Pressure Sodium lamp

It will not. A HPS lamp has a much lower ignition current than a MH lamp. There are lamps called "multi-vapor' "MVH" that will work in a MH luminaire. you can run metal halide in hps but not hps in halides.

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.

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.

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

A metal halide lamp requires a cooling period before restarting to prevent damage to the lamp caused by thermal shock. This cooling period allows the lamp to stabilize before being switched back on. Restarting the lamp too soon can reduce its lifespan and cause performance issues.

When a halogen reacts with a metal, an ionic compound called a metal halide is formed. This compound is formed by the transfer of electrons from the metal to the halogen, resulting in the formation of a positively charged metal ion and a negatively charged halide ion. The exact formula of the metal halide depends on the specific metal and halogen involved in the reaction.

Yes you can because you can just add up the watts taken by each lamp. They would have to be connected in parallel

In a metal halide light, the electricity heats a metal filament to a high temperature creating an extremely bright light. Metal ions burn off. A gas of the halide group (chlorine, bromine, iodine) reacts with the metal ions that have burned off and redeposit them on the filament. Because the filament is constantly being rebuilt, it can be brighter than a regular light bulb. Also it heats the gas to the point where the gasses give off light. So both the filament and the gasses give off light.

With a mercury vapor light, mercury vapor is heated until it gives off ultraviolet light. The filament only serves to heat the mercury. It does not give off light. This light is used to excite phosphrus and other chemicals on the edge of the bulb. Those chemicals glow in the visible light spectrum. As a result, they illuminate.

The type of gas commonly used in an arc lamp is typically a noble gas such as xenon or mercury vapor. These gases are chosen for their ability to produce a bright and steady light when an electric current is passed through them in the lamp.

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.

Metal halide lamps produce light by discharging an arc through a mixture of gases and metal halides, resulting in a brighter and more efficient light output compared to halogen lamps. Halogen lamps use a tungsten filament surrounded by halogen gas to produce light, giving off a warmer color temperature and often used in applications where color rendition is important.

Metal halide is a voltage sensitive lamp,If we give below 220v input supply means the lights will be off.And in some factories they have complained that the brightness of lights are disturbing their work by glaring.

Sodium and Chlorine. Sodium is a metal and chlorine is a halide gas.

Metal halide lights emit a broad spectrum of light that closely mimics natural sunlight, making them suitable for promoting overall plant growth and development, especially during the vegetative stage. The blue spectrum produced by metal halide lights is beneficial for encouraging leafy growth and enhancing photosynthesis in plants.

No, a fluorescent bulb does not emit the same amount of heat as a metal halide bulb of the same wattage.

Metal halide lamps are featured in gardening, home and lighting and reef keeping websites. There is a lot of information about them on the website 'the reef tank'.
