High Intensity Discharge, bulbs used for headlights; illumination is created using an arch electricity instead of a traditional filament
High intensity discharge - refers to very bright head and/or driving lights, with a very white, almost bluish, light
The popular acronym for High Intensity Discharge.
HID is short for High-Intensity Discharge lighting, which uses electrical arcs to create powerful illumination without drawing a lot of energy. Because of their energy efficiency and high power output, HID lighting is widely used for large, open spaces, such as stadiums, warehouses and roadways. More recently, HID technology has been developed for automotive lighting.
High Intensity Discharge. This is the general term for a mercury vapor, metal halide, or high-pressure sodium lamp. They differ from incandescent lamps in that there is no filament, but contain gas which when exposed to an electric charge, produces light. HID lamps require a ballast, which controls the electrical current that flows into the lamp.
Abbreviation for high intensity discharge. Generic term describing mercury vapour, metal halide, high pressure sodium, and (informally) low pressure sodium light sources and luminaires.
High Intensity Discharge Lamps. Includes Lamps such as HPS, Metal Halide or Mercury.
Abbreviation for High Intensity Discharge. Generic term used to describe mercury vapor, metal halide, high pressure sodium and (informally) low pressure sodium light sources and luminaries.
A type of lamp such as a mercury or sodium vapor lamp that produces light by causing an inert gas to discharge photons. HID lamps find special uses in entertainment lighting and make good UV sources. HID lamps require special ballasts and are generally not dimmable.
acronym for High Intensity Discharge, a type of light that uses much less electrical energy while outputting much higher luminous energy (really bright lights that consume little power).
High Intensity Discharge. Lamps in which an arc passing between two electrodes in a pressurized tube causes various metallic additives to vaporize and release large amounts of light. All HID lamps, High Pressure Sodium · Low Pressure Sodium · Mercury Vapor · Metal Halide, offer outstanding energy efficiency and service life. Metal halide lamps also offer good to excellent color rendering index (CRI).
High Intensity Discharge. A light source in which light is produced by a stabilized arc that burns at a much higher color temperature which creates a whiter light output than a standard halogen bulb. This arc is generated with an igniting system and ballast.
High Intensity Discharge. A lamp that produces light when electricity excites different gases within a pressurized glass envelope. HID lamps include mercury vapor, metal halide and high-pressure sodium types. See also Ballasts.
High Intensity Discharge lamps; includes metal halide, mercury vapor, high pressure sodium and low pressure sodium
(high intensity discharge) lamp. A lamp that operates in the same way as a fluorescent tube, but that has a bulb like incandescent lamps.
