2. Metal-halide lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal-halide_lamp

   Like other gas-discharge lamps such as the very-similar mercury-vapor lamps, metal-halide lamps produce light by ionizing a mixture of gases in an electric arc.In a metal-halide lamp, the compact arc tube contains a mixture of argon or xenon, mercury, and a variety of metal halides, such as sodium iodide and scandium iodide.

   Hydrargyrum quartz iodide (HQI) is a trademark name of Osram's brand of metal halide lamps [1] made for general floodlighting, arena floodlighting, shop and commercial and industrial lighting. Hydrargyrum is the Latin name for the element mercury. When heated, mercury vapour is created inside the lamp, and deposited when it cools.

   Metal-halide (MH) lamps; Ceramic MH lamps; Sodium-vapor lamps; Xenon short-arc lamps; The light-producing element of these lamp types is a well-stabilized arc discharge contained within a refractory envelope arc tube with wall loading in excess of 3 watts per square centimetre (19 W/in 2). Mercury-vapor lamps were the first commercially ...

5. Mercury-vapor lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury-vapor_lamp

   Mercury-vapor lights operate at an internal pressure of around one atmosphere and require special fixtures, as well as an electrical ballast. They also require a warm-up period of four to seven minutes to reach full light output. Mercury-vapor lamps are becoming obsolete due to the higher efficiency and better color balance of metal halide ...

   Streetlamp with a ceramic metal halide bulb Ceramic metal halide bulb with G12 socket. A ceramic metal-halide lamp (CMH), also generically known as a ceramic discharge metal-halide (CDM) lamp, [1] is a type of metal-halide lamp that is 10–20% more efficient than the traditional quartz metal halide [2] and produces a superior color rendition (80-96 CRI).
