Full details
This Venture Lighting Metal Halide Lamp (400W, E40) is designed for spaces needing a bright, clean white light, offering an upgrade from traditional yellow sodium lamps.

FAQs
What type of ballast does this lamp require?
This Venture Lighting Metal Halide Lamp is designed to operate on standard High-Pressure Sodium (HPS) ballasts and requires a compatible HPS ignitor.
What is the lifespan of this lamp?
The lamp has a rated lifespan of 10,000 hours, which helps reduce the frequency and cost of replacements.
Can I use this lamp in a standard Metal Halide fixture?
No, this lamp requires an HPS ballast and ignitor. It is not compatible with ballasts designed for standard Metal Halide lamps.
What does 4000K color temperature mean?
4000K refers to the color temperature of the light emitted. A 4000K lamp produces a cool, white light, often described as neutral or clean.
How does the CRI of 68 affect the light quality?
A CRI of 68 means the lamp provides a good ability to represent colors accurately compared to a natural light source, giving a daylight-like effect.
What is the base type of this lamp?
This lamp features an E40 screw base, which is a common standard for higher wattage lamps.
How do I clean the lamp?
Always ensure the lamp is cool before cleaning. Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Troubleshooting
Lamp does not turn on
Verify that the power is on, the lamp is securely screwed into the E40 socket, and that the HPS ballast and ignitor are functioning correctly. Check for loose wiring connections.
Lamp flickers or starts intermittently
This could indicate an issue with the ballast, ignitor, or wiring. Ensure all connections are secure and that the ballast/ignitor are compatible and in good working order. The lamp may also be nearing the end of its life.
Lamp has a different color than expected
Ensure the correct lamp (4000K) was installed. Color perception can also be affected by the ballast type and surrounding light conditions.
Lamp is dim
Check for proper voltage supply and ensure the ballast is providing the correct wattage. The lamp may also be at the end of its rated life and require replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the power to the light fixture is completely off.

- Verify that your fixture is equipped with a compatible High-Pressure Sodium (HPS) ballast and ignitor.
- Screw the Venture Lighting Metal Halide Lamp (400W, E40) into the E40 socket until secure.

Compatibility:
- Ballast: This lamp is designed to operate on standard HPS ballasts. It is not compatible with magnetic or electronic ballasts designed for other lamp types (e.g., Mercury Vapor, Metal Halide, Low-Pressure Sodium).
- Ignitor: A compatible HPS ignitor is required for lamp start-up.

Care:
- Cleaning: Allow the lamp to cool completely before cleaning. Wipe gently with a dry or slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the lamp coating.
- Handling: Always handle lamps by the base to avoid transferring oils from your skin to the glass, which can shorten lamp life. If handled, clean the glass with a soft cloth and alcohol.
- Replacement: Replace the lamp when it reaches the end of its rated life or if it shows signs of failure, such as flickering or discoloration.
