All distribution systems of Electrical output have fixed AC voltage (50 or 60 Hz) and should expect connected electrical loads to limit the current drawn from the power source. Metal Halide Bulbs and High Pressure Bulbs arc discharge lamps exhibit “negative impedance.” if you don’t have a ballast, the arc in the bulb will extinguish or draw increasing current until some circuit element burns up (reducing life Finish Reading this Post

Metal Halide Bulbs have a white light that is easier on the eyes than the yellow/orange light emitted by High Pressure Sodium bulbs and HPS ballasts. The new Energy Act of 2007 have mandated that all new metal halide fixtures starting in Jan. 2009 have to be Pulse Start Metal Halide for products that are 175W and above. Pulse Start metal halide bulbs have many advantages over Standard Metal Halide. Ballast ha Finish Reading this Post

These lamps produce about the same lumen output with substantially lower wattage. Common 40-watt and 75-watt lamps can be replaced with energy-saving lamps of 34 watts and 60 watts, respectively. Energy-saving lamps for less-common fluorescent fixtures are also available. If you need to replace the ballasts in your fluorescen Finish Reading this Post
