Can't the same ballast drive the metal halide lamp and sodium lamp?

High pressure sodium lamp and metal halide lamp is high intensity discharge lamp,is it ok to use the same ballast drive the two lamps?

High-pressure sodium lamp and metal halide lamp, although is the high strength gas discharge lamp, but because of the different substances, the luminous efficiency is also different, in the design of light source, the same power high pressure sodium lamp and metal halide lamp, the design of the current and voltage is different. Therefore, light ballast for metal halide lamp and high pressure sodium lamp should not be mixed. Some users mix metal halide lamp and high pressure sodium lamp ballast, although it can be lit, but will be shortened the life of the bulb or due to the over high temperature of the ballast and damage to electrical appliances. James lighting provides the light ballast for metal halide lamp and high pressure sodium lamp. User can choose matching appliances (as by hid do light source due to the high efficiency, high life, high irradiation angle and is widely used in outdoor lighting. However, due to the current technology is not fully mature, especially in the light of metal halide lamp light source. Due to the current domestic in this industry, a blind, often the lamps of the IP level design is very high, so invisible will increase the difficulty of design and design costs. In fact, as long as the water is not used for the water and the bottom of the outdoor lighting lamps as long as the IPX3~IPX5 can be designed, and according to the actual use of the occasion can also be installed in the lowest part of the installation of drainage holes. And this is more advantageous to the electrical heat.

2. The light source and the electrical matching: due to the current market of HID light source varies greatly, especially domestic production of high power metal halide lamp. In fact, the current domestic production line of the metal halide lamp basically is used American Standard production line, but also used to the production of European standard metal halide lamp. Because of the strictly in accordance with the European standard American standard parameters to differentiate the production is used to match the electrical components (lamp ballast,ignitor). The European standard and the manufacturing cost is low American Standard ballast. This will lead to market there is a lot of ballast for European standard to match American Standard lighting light source. Due to the European standard American Standard photoelectric parameters are not the same, will inevitably lead to the light source, electrical life decreased .

3. Outdoor lighting in architectural lighting applications should pay attention to the problem: the pan lighting the way to light up building facade is creation and beautify the urban landscape of the important one. This way can not only illuminate the facade of the building. Through the careful design of the lighting designer, but also to create a more seductive than the day of the moving effect, the level of clear, emphasizing and highlighting the building's personality. But pan lighting is only one of the lighting of the building, is never the only, never mention facade lighting is none other than the floodlighting, facade lighting is not equal to the floodlights fixture.

The building of a wide light lighting should have the following two two conditions:
First: the surface of a building shall have a certain reflection ratio. The illumination is to see the brightness of the surface in the direction of observation, by the light of the light and the light shines on the surface of the building. Second: the reflection of the surface of the building is best reflected, at least, it must be a diffuse reflection. All kinds of surface to have a certain reflection of light. And according to different surface degree of finish, reflective conditions are also different roughly right for directional reflection, diffusion and diffuse reflection three building a, hotels, residential, hospital wards, etc. it is best not to use floodlight lighting the way, because this kind of building in the evening will be someone at work or rest B, pan lighting applications, the position of the light to the right, set light to the light left is to confront the distance is not too far, not too near.
