400W Metal Halide Ballast Kit - 480 Volt
Metal halide ballast kits are made to operate metal halide lamps and keep them running properly.
400W Metal Halide Ballast kit's to replace existing core and coil ballasts. These are for 480-volt circuit's and are dedicated to that operating voltage. These are for MH400 lamps and have everything you need to replace your ballast. The 400Watt metal halide is probably one of the most popular wattages ever made. It's been used for many types of facilities in high bay lighting fixtures but is also used in various kinds of outdoor parking, street, and security lighting. If you have an HID lighting fixture in one of these areas, chances are you may have the 400Watt version. The only thing different about this particular one is that it's rated at 480 volts. This is a higher voltage rating, and it's often used in areas where the maximum capacity of some fixtures is put on the same circuit. You have everything in this kit including all the hardware, the core and coil, and the other components. Once you replace this, it will be like having a new lighting fixture all over again. The light output will return to normal, and it's often good to replace the lamp at the same time. Sometimes people do a group replacement to save on product cost and maintenance costs of course. When working with this higher voltage, you need a licensed electrician to properly do it and have it be completely safe. It's not something you should do yourself. If you have older lighting fixtures, like anything ten years or older, that it might make sense to change the lighting fixtures out entirely to something like LED. But if you have something that's relatively new, changing the ballast is still an excellent way to go. The enemy of almost any electrical component is heated, and that's no different for a ballast. These do deteriorate over time and heat is the common enemy. If you're unsure whether you have this wattage or another one, call us, and we can help you figure that out. Keep in mind that metal halide ballast kit's are not interchangeable with different wattages. You have to have one wattage with one ballast type that is mated to each other. Product features: - 480 volt. - For standard 400Watt metal halide lamps. - All the components you need to replace existing ballasts.
Ballasts are an essential component.At BuyLightFixtures.com, we have a wide variety of metal halide ballast kit's including metal halide, high-pressure sodium, and mercury vapor. All of these are in the category of HID lighting and one of the consumable items within that category of lighting is ballasts. There are a number of different things that can go wrong with the ballast over time. It could be something like the capacitor, the igniter or the core and coil itself. With the capacitor, it loses the ability to hold a charge large enough to start the arc of the lamp. Sometimes heat becomes a factor which is typically one of the problems that contribute to a ballast failure. We have all different wattages for various types of metal halide lighting from the very lowest 50 watts all the way up to 1500 watt. Understand that these different ballasts can only be matched with one wattage, they don’t run multiple wattages from the same ballast. Many of you in maintenance or if you’re an electrical contractor know this, but some people that we talk to don’t, so we just want to make that clear if you’re unsure as to whether you need to change the ballast and get one of these kit's. Please give us a call or email as we have a lot of expertise in ballast replacement and have probably seen about every different type of problem. Changing a metal halide ballast kit is really not too difficult although there are a lot of wires and there are just a few things you need to make sure that you do correctly. You want to make sure all the wiring is correct and that it’s connected to the correct voltage on the ballast. Some ideas to save money. If you have many of these metal halide ballasts going out at the same time, it might be time to consider going to a more efficient source of LED lighting with either a simple retrofit or a complete lighting fixture change. There’s never been a better time to take advantage of electric utility rebates and the prices on these products that we have have never been more reasonable. The performance is excellent and you could have lighting fixtures that no longer need a ballast and that’s one less thing to have in a maintenance program. If you would like to know how much money you can save by switching to more efficient LED lighting, we have an free downloadable XL spreadsheet on the left-hand column of our website. It’s easy to use and all you have to do is put in existing data compared to what you might be changing it to. It will not only tell you how much money and energy are going to save, but it will also tell you how fast the payback is going to be for your particular situation. Keep in mind that the more hours per day that you run any of these lighting fixtures, the faster the payback will be. If there are any electric utility rebate incentives that you could apply, you have a place to put those in as well and that will reduce the payback even further. It’s good time to take a look at that you have an older type of lighting system that you’re doing a lot of maintenance on.
