	Subject - Lighting Information RS377 I have recently been put on a job where we maintain the lighting for a convention center and parking structure, and I need to learn a few things. 1- Is there any way to test the transformer for a metal halide fixture? 2- Same question for an ignitor. 3- I noticed that the instructions say that a lamp used past its rated life uses more energy, and I believe shortens the life of the transformer- could it also have a detrimental effect on the capacitor and ignitor? 4- Is there any place that I could find a comprehensive list of wiring diagrams for metal halide and other HID lighting? thank you Dave Nix 1. NO 2. NO 3.Yes 4. Try "Advanced Ballast" web site and look up HID lighting on Google.
