How many types of ballast hid?
HPS Lamps HPS lamps have excellent lumen maintenance, HPS lamps still are generating 90% of initial light output at the midpoint of their life span. Lumen maintenance at the end of life still is excellent at around 80%. ed light output of HID lamps. Metal Halide Lamps As the graph, the light output of metal […]
The lamp ballast construction and warranty
Pulse Start Metal Halide Construction In the 1980s, metal halide lamps were typically 175 watts and lower but with technology and the use of electronics, lamp designers began to look into removing this starter probe and increasing the fill pressures. By coordinating designs of both lamp and ballasts, the lamp designer was able to remove […]
175 watt metal halide ballast specification and price
Mercury-vapor lamp (MV). With the lowest efficacy of any of the HID sources, most of these lamps in the 175 watt metal halide ballast to 1000W ratings have an average rated life of 24,000 hrs. Because of this relatively long life, coupled with a slow reduction in lumen output, you should replace them well before […]
1000 watt metal halide ballast wiring diagram
1000 watt metal halide ballast wiring diagram 1000 watt metal halide ballast Wiring Diagrams Ballast Wiring Diagrams for HID ballast kits including Metal Halide and High Pressure Sodium Lighting ballasts. Most magnetic HID ballasts are multi-tap, meaning they can be connected to several different voltages. The wiring diagram is the blueprint for the ballast circuitry, […]
What’s a ballast light
In a ballast light system, the HID ballast regulates the current to the lamps and provides sufficient voltage to start the lamps. Without a ballast to limit its current, a fluorescent lamp connected directly to a high voltage power source would rapidly and uncontrollably increase its current draw. Within a second the lamp would overheat […]
The tips to wire High-Pressure Sodium Ballast
The tips to wire High-Pressure Sodium Ballast: HID Ballast Wiring Diagrams Ballast Wiring Diagrams for HID ballast kits including Metal Halide and High Pressure Sodium Lighting ballasts. Most magnetic HID ballasts are multi-tap, meaning they can be connected to several different voltages. Here we display wiring diagrams for High-Pressure Sodium Ballast, metal halide (pulse start) […]
How to solve a high pressure sodium ballast wiring
high pressure sodium ballast wiring: 1. Field wiring connections should only be made by qualified personnel. 2. Turn off supply voltage at breaker before accessing fixture Wiring Compartment. 3. Refer to wiring diagram on ballast label for proper component connections (typical connections illustrated above). 4. For safe operation: a) Ground all system components (metallic case […]
How to choose a 175 Watt Mercury Vapor Ballast Kit
175 watt mercury vapor ballast kits to replace existing core and coil ballasts for this popular lamp. These are for standard MV175 lamps and have everything you need to replace your ballast and they come in multi-tap voltage of 120, 208, 240 and 277 volt. Although these ballast kits are no longer made, most people […]
How to solve a pulse start ballast trouble
These are the traditional metal halide lamps. They’re characterized by their 3 electrodes in the arc tube (1 starting probe electrode, and 2 operating electrodes). To start, a discharge is created across a tiny gap between the starting probe electrode and one of the operating electrodes, electrons leap across the arc tube to the other […]

Most magnetic HID ballasts are multi-tap, meaning they can be connected to several different voltages. Here we display wiring diagrams for metal halide (probe start), metal halide (pulse start) and high pressure sodium HID […]
Eliminate Toxic Black Mold!
Mold exposure doesn’t always present a health problem indoors. Yet some people are allergic to molds. These individuals can experience symptoms like nasal stuffiness, eye irritation, wheezing, or skin irritation when exposed to molds. Some people might have more severe reactions to molds. Severe reactions may occur among workers exposed to large amounts of molds […]
What’s a High Intensity Discharge ballast and lamps?
Higher Intensity Discharge ballast (HID ballast),Capacitor,Ignitor are match for HID bulbs,the HID lamp is produced by passing an electric current by means of a gas or vapor at a higher pressure. The present produces a higher intensity arc or discharge of light which is extremely effective and has a longer life than the typical incandescent […]
