(4) Certain metal halide lamps are designed to operate on mercury ballasts. They are called
(a) I-line
(b) Chromafit
(c) E-Z Merc
(d) Saf-T-Gard

(5) A metal halide lamp is designed as MVR400/VBU. This lamp should only be operated vertically and not at a 10 degree tilt from the vertical base up position.
(a) True
(b) False

(6) Instead of a starting electrode, Lucalox lamps use a high-voltage pulse from the ballast to start the arc
