Can the bulb used be less than 1000 w as well?

You buy a dimmer to dim the output of the light, but the light itself will still draw 1000watts of power.

No the total wattage is not 100 watts...max wattage is 100 watts per bulb for 300 watts max

I don't see why not since it's just a standard light socket. But I would still use one of those energy saving bulbs that has the equivalent brightness of a 100 watt incandescent bulb. For example, I'm using a 20 watt LUMAcoil bulb which is equivalent to a 75watt incandescent bulb.

Yes, Just don't exceed 150 watts per bulb. I'm using 2 different types of LED bulbs in mine and everything works really well.

This ballest is designed to plug into 120v or 240v either way it will run your 1000w lamp. The plug for the lamp is the universal type my sun systems hood plugged right in

go look at 1000 bulbshttp://www.1000bulbs.com/product/71791/AL-043APC6WH.html

It doesn't power anything, but it should be able to switch on or off a 250 watt bulb. (It is rated up to 1000W)

Ps the 1000 watt system has a setting that you can turn the light system down to 400 or 600 watts if the 1000 is to much but 2 of these light systems or 1000 watt and 400 watts will be kick ass

No, you can use any type of T10 bulb, which are about 4" long, tube shaped incandescent. I use a 40W as I don't like the brightness of a 60 or 100. But you can use any wattage you want.

You can use a larger LED or CFL bulb. You just can not exceed the total lamp wattage of 150 watts. So if you added 2 Philips 100 watt EQUIVALENT LED bulbs it would be fine because the bulbs do not actually use 150 watts of power. Your only limitation is the size of the bulb.

I don't have the equipment to test for that but if there is any electricity used when the bulb is off it would be mininmal. The bulb uses very little electricity when it is on.

Yes, but I would only recommend using a 10k 55w bulb. If you use a 35 bulb, the color will be different and fade within a couple of months.

If your home theater is 1000W or less, yes you can use it. Otherwise, you don't want to risk burning the system.

I believe this bulb can be safely used in a 150 W fixture. Look for the watts used on the base of the bulb. The writing on the base of my bulb says that is actually draws 60 W which is only 40% of the rating for you fixture.
1600186
Yes , you can if it fits. The power (watts) that the bulbs draws is 60 watts, so it is well within the maximum rating for the lamp, as you said it is 150 watts.

I haven't noticed a wattage rating on the fixtures. 1000w is the high estimate of the tungsten equivalent of those 5 CFL's. The dual diffusers do cut the light output somewhat, but four of these units have been working for me for a couple of years. I suppose if you're a good electrician, you could change the fixtures. Sometimes, if I have a high white ceiling, I leave the softbox off of one of them, and just put it up high, pointed at the ceiling. I then use the others normally.

Yes, you should be able to. The sticker on the lamp says "100 watt maximum". I have a 13w CFL bulb in mine, and it works just fine.
