High-pressure sodium lamps are quite efficient—about 100 lumens per watt, when measured for photopic lighting conditions. Some higher-power lamps (e.g. 600 watt) have efficacies of about 150 lumens per watt. Since the high-pressure sodium arc is extremely chemically reactive, the arc tube is typically made of translucent aluminum oxide.
"40" sticker—400 watts (MV/MH/HPS/PSMH)—Very common "No" sticker [clarification needed] —600 watts (MH/HPS)—Lamps for commercial or industrial lighting are so rare that there isn’t any NEMA sticker. Most 600 watt HPS lamps are used for growing. "70" sticker—700 watts (MV)—Very uncommon "75" sticker—750 watts (HPS/PSMH)—Uncommon
Some bulbs have a phosphor coating on the inner side of the outer bulb to improve the spectrum and diffuse the light. In the mid-1980s a new type of metal-halide lamp was developed, which, instead of a quartz (fused silica) arc tube as used in mercury vapor lamps and previous metal-halide lamp designs, use a sintered alumina arc tube similar to ...
More than this: HID lamps like the metal halide lamps and high pressure sodium lamps have reduced reliability when operated at high frequencies in the range of 20 – 200 kHz, due to acoustic resonance; for these lamps a square wave low frequency current drive is mostly used with frequency in the range of 100 – 400 Hz, with the same advantage ...
Diagram of a high-pressure sodium lamp A high-pressure sodium lamp, Philips Master SDW-T 100W. Various types of chemistry are used in the arc tubes of HID lamps, depending on the desired characteristics of light intensity, correlated color temperature, color rendering index (CRI), energy efficiency, and lifespan.
The luminous intensity (in candelas) is a measure of how bright the beam in a particular direction is. If a lamp has a 1 lumen bulb and the optics of the lamp are set up to focus the light evenly into a 1 steradian beam, then the beam would have a luminous intensity of 1 candela. If the optics were changed to concentrate the beam into 1/2 ...
