150 Watt Metal Halide Ballast Kit
Metal halide ballast kits are made to operate metal halide lamps and keep them running properly.

Item #: BLF14429

150-watt metal halide ballast kit's to replace existing core and coil ballasts for this low wattage lamp. These are for standard MH lamps and have everything you need to replace your ballast. These come in multitap voltage of 120, 208, 240 and 277 volts. This is probably one of the most popular ballast kit's when it comes to metal halide. It's a mid-range wattage that is used in both small and larger lighting fixtures depending on the application. The 150-watt version was in energy-saving replacement of the 175 watts, but it's not interchangeable with that system. If you do happen to have 175 watts, then you need the ballast that is appropriate for that. Also, make sure to check the capacitor as that is often a component that fails over time but doesn't require an entire ballast change. If that capacitor is good and the lamp is right, then it's almost sure that you need to replace the whole ballast and these kit's do a great job in getting you everything that you need. This became one of the most popular sizes of metal halide because of it's mid-range high light output. It was used in lighting fixtures that were popular for security or parking ramp lighting, that type of thing. But like all metal halide ballasts, they do wear out eventually and need to be replaced. They are a consumable item, and if the lighting fixture is anywhere from 10 to 15-years old, that's probably what you need to do, a complete replacement of the ballast. Good news is our ballast kit has all the components that you need to replace your ballast and get things working correctly again. You have all the hardware the coil, the capacitor, and igniter. With all these different components you're going to be able to restore the lighting system like when it was brand-new. If you have a ballast that's only a few years old and your lamp is not lighting, then what most people have is a bad capacitor. Those are probably the weakest link in the whole ballast; they provide a storage charge to provide that momentary pulse of high voltage to start the arc of the lamp. It has only so many times that he can do this over it's life. Although they've gotten more dependable over the past several years, they still do wear out, and if you've got something that's new, you probably don't need to replace the whole ballast but probably just the capacitor. We sell those as a separate item and something that's far fewer expensive than a complete ballast kit. But for those of you who have something that's older, you probably need to replace the whole ballast because like anything electrical that's exposed to a lot of heat, they do deteriorate and go bad. If you're unsure which ballast you need, we can help you determine that very quickly.

Product features:
- Multi-tap 120, 208, 240, 277 volt.
- For standard 150-watt 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.
