Great tutorial! Sending it to my apprentices to take up. Straight forward and covered all of the material needed

[@electricalengineeringplane6620]

Very happy to hear that 🙏thank you for your support 🙏❤️

I love the beautiful orange glow of the sodium vapor lights ✨️.

[@electricalengineeringplane6620]

Me too 👍 thank you for your comment ❤️

[@ironmartysharpe8293]

Me too , The high pressure sodium produces my favorite color of light but as I see the color of light , It looks yellow and I noticed that with high pressure sodium lights , They don't attract bugs like mercury vapor and metal halide , For me , High pressure sodium lights are less stressful on my eyes than metal halide and mercury vapor

Good stuff I love how you explained it with explaining what the part IS and it's FUNCTION. Man I ask some journeymen or master Electricians and they get all pissed off like I'm testing them bro in just trying to learn. Lolol 😢

[@electricalengineeringplane6620]

Thank you for your support ❤️🙏 if you need any help just ask

Simple and very informative! Thx man 😊

can we use capacitor only instead of ballast and iginator?

[@Rivl73]

It would have been nice if you linked the products that you spoke about in the description below

[@electricalengineeringplane6620]

Sure we will take that into consideration, thank you 😊🙏

[@diegogilvelutini882]

Thanks. What happens if you run the HPSodium bulb slightly under its rated voltage. I have a choke ballast for 240 V and our supply is 208 V. So the voltage across the bulb is almost 10% lower. Will the bulb last longer or lasts less

[@oz93666]

As said in the video, the capacitor is optional... It's function is to adjust the 'power factor' if this is not done you will have a higher electricity bill for running the same lamp with no extra light output , perhaps about 20% higher I think ?

[@electricalengineeringplane6620]

very good, this is right, maybe capacitor optional but it's important for improving power factor

[@trinitysamm9370]

very useful. thank you sir.

[@electricalengineeringplane6620]

You're welcome 😊🙏

I have all those parts, but 2 Capacitors, instead of 1 and when I opened up the light the cables have become disconnected from the capacitors due to heat. Now not sure how it was connected up before (the 2 capacitors)

[@electricalengineeringplane6620]

Thanks for sharing! For HPS lamps, typically only one capacitor is needed for power factor correction. If you have two, one might be a spare or connected in a different configuration. I recommend checking the lamp's wiring diagram (usually found on the ballast or capacitor itself) to confirm the proper connections. If heat damage is severe, replacing the damaged parts might be safer. Let me know if you need further assistance!

Hello friend, I need to light a 2500w power HMI (discharge) lamp, thank you very much I hope your help.

Hello i have a high pressure sodium lamp. i can't use it anymore because if i put a new bulb it blow the bulb. can u tell me what is the reason of burning out the bulb?

[@electricalengineeringplane6620]

you have mention lamp and bulb which are the same?? do you mean with lamp the complete fixture?!

[@Darrengriffiths3197]

Can you run 2 lights/lamps of one ballast and is there away to bring down power usage even more making them more efficient in power consumption.

[@electricalengineeringplane6620]

No we bought the ballast 250w for example as the lamp which is 250w so we can't add another lamp

[@Mybwain]

How do I choose the correct capacitor and ignitor for the output lamp wattage?

[@electricalengineeringplane6620]

For ignitor we will buy an Ignitor which is suitable for a lamp between 150w to 400w ,, To size a capacitor for an HPS lamp, determine the lamp's wattage (e.g., 250 W) and operating voltage. Check its power factor (typically ~0.5 without correction). Use the formula: Q = P \times (tan (phi_1) - tan (phi_2)) where is lamp power, and are the angles before and after correction. For common sizes, 250W lamps require ~25 μF capacitors, and 400W ~33 μF. Use a capacitor rated for the lamp voltage. Always consult the lamp's datasheet for accuracy.

Great 🌹🌹🌹

Thank you 😊

[@hollowcrime]

Great 👌

[@electricalengineeringplane6620]

Thank you

[@wyngreece7]

Could you add a dimmer?

[@electricalengineeringplane6620]

It's not a good idea because it lower the efficiency but in case you need that you have to buy a special ballast

[@wyngreece7]

Thank you!

[@iulicasmecherie6176]

how do I know what capacitor size to use?

[@electricalengineeringplane6620]

For 400watt HPS lamp you will buy cap/hps400 ,, for 1000watt HPS lamp you will buy cap/hps1000

[@electricalengineeringplane6620]

Size of capacitance for cap/hps400 is 55 microfarad

[@ahmadfarid5982]

hi. what causes the bulb keep dying. after changing to new one?

[@electricalengineeringplane6620]

You can check the ignitor

my spotlight blackout when turned on, what is the cause?

[@electricalengineeringplane6620]

You can check the ignitor

[@_azstudio]

i've opened up a lamp. all i see is bulb, ballast & capacitor. no ignitor. is it normal or what? please somebody help me. i'm really sure its capacitor, not ignitor cause it written 25nano farad there.

[@electricalengineeringplane6620]

The ballast could be electronic ballast which have both ballast and ignitor in the same case

[@stingbgtv4216]

Can't you do it oly with the ballast and the lamp?

[@electricalengineeringplane6620]

Thank you for your question, but the answer is no ,you have to use ignitor which works as a starter for starting the lamp
