High Intensity Discharge Lighting like Metal Halide or High Pressure Sodium are
efficient ways to light plants. Generally, a Metal Halide Lamp (or bulb) needs
a ballast rated only for Metal Halide; a High Pressure Sodium Lamp (or bulb)
needs a ballast rated only for High Pressure Sodium. A 400 Watt lamp needs to
run in a 400 Watt fixture; a 250 Watt lamp needs to run in a 250 Watt fixture.
Sometimes it is possible to get the wrong lamp to burn in a different fixture
for a while--the life of the bulb will be short. HID grow lights are the most energy efficient way to light plants.
These are new lamps with warranty for replacement or new installation with proper ballast.
The light bulbs in HID lighting for hydroponics and indoor gardening are usually called "lamps".
A Metal Halide Lamp will only burn in a Metal Halide System with a Metal
Halide ballast.
A High Pressure Sodium Lamp will only burn in a High Pressure Sodium
System with a High Pressure Sodium Ballast.
A 400 Watt bulb needs to go into a 400 Watt growlight system.
All the wattages need to be the same.
Look for a manufacturer's tag on the ballast or for a stamp on the bulb to
identify the type and wattage.
Sometimes you can get the wrong bulb to burn for a while, but this is a really
bad idea.
The bulb will maybe burn for 90 days, maybe not, sometimes a little longer.
