Mercury Vapor
Can a 50 watt mercury vapor bulb be replaced with another type bulb?
We have post lanterns that have 50 watt mercury vapor bulbs in them. Can these bulbs be replace with another type of bulb using the present ballast?
Probably not. There are ballasts that will operate a mercury vapor and a metal halide lamp. If you don't have this particular ballast, you run the risk of damaging both lamp and ballast.
A MV lamp looses 50% of their lite every 5 years. They rarely burn out and will keep going giving you less light and still using the same amount of energy. Also the MV is being phased out. You can still buy the bulbs but not the fixtures or ballasts.
Metal Halide is taking over for them. More light and a brighter whiter light. Might be time to change fixtures. Good luck.
