Jace, this topic has been covered here a couple of weeks ago- come on, keep up!- but the short answer is no, not properly. A 50Hz magnetic ballast used on 60Hz...
Hi all, Unfortunately due to a little 'incident' of the camera with my dad (he dropped it in a puddle!), there will be no photos or photographic updates of the...
... Might be worth trying the 50Hz ballast, it will underrun the lamp by probably 20% but LPS is quite tolerant of this. If the ballast is a choke, a small...
I think that's probably true. When I played with SOX lamps, I had no idea of their operating voltage and current because I couldn't find it published anywhere...
It has been my experience with elecromagnetic coils that when rated at 120v 60 hz, they are also rated for 110v @50hz for the same performance. I would think...
... I have only one 50Hz ballast, a 400W mercury choke which is stamped 220V 50Hz. I've tried it on ~244V 60Hz connected to a power analyzer and found it ran...

What brand of fixture is mostly seen throughout your city? Here in Indiana, most are GE, with a handful of AE. When replacement is necessary these days, they...
Over here in the UK, dayburning streetlights are common because the photocontrols get old and are never replaced with a new lamp. I would guess photocontrols...
Many cities in California have zero merc street lights left! The majority of mercs are found in certain areas such as Sacramento, Modesto, Los Angeles, Santa...
The two major utilites in California use mainly GE luminaires with a few Coopers thrown in. They stopped using AE junk about 10 years ago. Some cities (like...
In Buffalo and Western New York, National Grid (formerly Niagara Mohawk) and NYSEG typically use Lumark and General Electric. Over the past year, NYSEG has...
There is but one street left in Buffalo that still uses Mercury lighting. Mostly all of the MV and incandescent lighting has been replaced by HPS and more...

In and around Baltimore, GE, AE and Cooper/Crouse-Hinds luminaires are the most common. There are also lots of Westinghouse fixtures around. On a side note,...
Personally, I think the Northeast is still the leader in mercury lighting. You can still find lots and lots of mercs in and around the region's big cities,...
Photocontrols manufactured today last around 10 years. I put a Ripley Sunswitch on a security light in 1997 and it just started to fail. However I've seen...
