Improper wiring is unsafe and can certainly damage the lamp and/or ballast kit.The most commonly used ballast is the core and coil type, which basically consists of a transformer (core and coil) and a capacitor. Core-coil ballasts are sold as kits, which include the transformer, capacitor (and ignitor, if needed) and mounting rails. These ballasts are the cheapest kind because they are mass-produced for commercial HPS lighting purposes. Unfortunately, they are designed to fit into the standard housing of commercial lighting fixtures, meaning that a box will have to be found or fabricated to house the ballast. This is the ballast configuration typically found inside the commercially sold ballast boxes in the aquarium industry. Running these ballasts exposed is extremely dangerous and is therefore not a good idea.

Core and Coil ballast is the original type of ballast for a metal halide bulb, and for many years was the only option available. It remains the most common type, in part because it’s much cheaper to buy than electronic ballast. Depending on the wattage of bulb you’ll power with the Core and Coil metal halide ballast, expect at least a loss that will be around 10 percent of the lamp wattage, and can be much higher. You can buy magnetic ballast for metal halide lamps of up to 1500 watts.
The usual type of Core and Coil ballast sold for a metal halide bulb is called the constant-wattage autotransformer. It’s made up of magnetic coils and often includes a capacitor that offers improved power. It keeps the power to the bulb regulated so there’s little flicker. Also, if the line voltages varies a great deal, the ballast will prevent the bulb from shutting off.
Most Core and Coil ballasts used for metal halide lighting are the CWA (constant wattage autotransformer) type. This is a lead circuit ballast and consists of a high reactance autotransformer (core-coil) with a capacitor in series with the lamp. However, ballasts for 150-watt and 250-watt DE lamps tend to be the HX-HPF circuit type and require an igniter along with the capacitor and core-coil. Ballasts for pulse start lamps also have an additional igniter to start the arc, and have their own set of ballast circuit types.
Capacitors are needed to improve a ballast’s (input) power factor, and are integral components of CWA and regulated lag circuits; they will not operate without capacitors. Both oil-filled (wet) and dry-film capacitor technologies are commonly used with magnetic ballasts. Oil-filled capacitors come in metal cases and are filled with a dielectric fluid; dry-film capacitors do not use a dielectric fluid. High intensity discharge lamp igniters provide a brief, high voltage pulse or pulse train to break down the gas between the electrodes of an arc lamp. Pulses can range from several hundred volts to 5kV. Typical durations are in the µsec range. They are usually timed to coincide with the peak of the open circuit voltage....

A metal halide lamp’s starting requirements are important because they impact the type of ballast that the lamp requires. Two methods are used to start MH lamps: probe start (standard start) and pulse start. Probe start refers to the method used to ignite the arc in the arc tube. A traditional or probe start metal halide lamp has three electrodes – two for maintaining the arc and a third internal starting electrode, or probe. A high open circuit voltage from the magnetic ballast initiates an arc between the starting electrode and the operating electrode at one end of the arc tube. Once the lamp reaches full output, a bi-metallic switch closes to short out the probe, thereby discontinuing the starting arc.
Metal halide lamps are a type of HID (High Intensity Discharge) lamp; mercury vapor and high-pressure sodium lamps are also HID lamps. However, mercury vapor and sodium lamps are not typically used in the reef hobby but are widely used in the horticulture industry.
Most applications, including factories, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and gymnasiums, will use a standard magnetic core and coil ballast. Their high heat tolerance and wide array of voltages and configurations make core and coil the most popular of metal halide ballasts. To aid in installation and reduce labor costs, almost all core and coil ballasts we carry include pre-wired capacitors and (in the case of pulse start metal halide ballasts) pre-wired ignitors.
Though versatile and inexpensive, core and coil ballasts aren't the right choice for every application due to their weight, size, and noise levels. This makes f-can metal halide ballasts the best choice for indoor downlighting in offices, schools, and retail. All components of f-can ballasts are enclosed within a fluorescent ballast style housing that is insulated to reduce noise....

A metal-halide lamp is an electric light that produces light by an electric arc through a gaseous mixture of vaporized mercury and metal halides(compounds of metals with bromine or iodine). It is a type of high-intensity discharge (HID) gas discharge lamp.Developed in the 1960s, they are similar to mercury vapor lamps,but contain additional metal halide compounds in the arc tube, which improve the efficacy and color rendition of the light.
Ballasts metal halide are required to start the lamp, regulate the lamp starting and lamp operating currents, and provide appropriate sustaining supply voltage. Starting the lamp: In MH lamps, ballasts provide the starting voltage and ignition pulses (pulse-start lamps) necessary to ignite the lamp. Probe-start MH ballasts, however, can take as long as 10 to 20 minutes to restrike (re-start) a lamp. Pulse-start MH ballasts can restrike the lamp within 2 to 8 minutes of an interruption in current, because they provide high-voltage pulses to start these lamps.
Regulating lamp current and power: The ballast regulates the lamp operating current flowing through the lamp after the lamp has been started. The ballast is set to deliver relatively stable power to the lamp while regulating the lamp current despite typical line voltage fluctuations. This maximizes lamp life and ensures other performance characteristics such as color and light output.
Providing appropriate sustaining voltage: Metal halide ballasts must maintain suitable voltage and current wave shape to the lamp. MH lamp voltage typically increases over time, and the ballast must continue to provide sufficient voltage to the lamp as it ages. In addition,...
