Discharge lamp in which the major portion of the light is produced by the radiation from a mixture of a metallic vapor (for example, mercury) and the products of the dissociation of halides (for example, halides of thallium, indium or sodium) - for example: HPI-T lamps.
Light source for some projectors. They provide light of defined spectral lines by heating metal.
A lamp often used in higher-end projectors, with a half life of between 1000 and 2000 hours.
a high-intensity discharge light source in which the light is produced by the radiation from mercury, plus halides of metals such as sodium, scandium, indium, and dysprosium
These HID bulbs produce a blue-white type light, these bulbs are very efficient, and long lasting, average life span 20,000 hours.
A high intensity discharge (HID) lamp in which the major portion of the light is produced by radiation of metal halides and their products of dissociation-possible in combination with metallic vapors such as mercury. Includes clear and phosphor coated lamps.
The type of lamp used in many medium and all high-end portable projectors. These lamps typically have a "half-life" of 1000-2000 hours. That is they slowly lose intensity (brightness) as they are used, and at the "half-life" point, they are half as bright as when new. These lamps output a very "hot" temperature light, similar to mercury vapor lamps used in street lights. Their whites are "extremely" white (with slight bluish cast.) and make Halogen lamp's whites look very yellowish by comparison.
An H.I.D. lamp where the light comes from radiation from metal halide. It produces the whitest light of the H.I.D. sources.
HID light source in which radiation from a mixture of metallic vapor and additives of halides (e.g., sodium, thallium, and indium) produces visible light.
An HID light source in which radiation from a mixture of metallic vapors produces visible light, characterized by a white color.
A high intensity discharge lamp in which the major portion of the light is produced by radiation mercury and other elements in the arc tube. Includes clear and phosphor-coated types. MH lamps are available in probe-start, pulse-start (PSMH), or ceramic (CMH or MHC) varieties. Lumen maintenance and color stability is best with the ceramic metal halide lamp. Generally available with correlated color temperatures of 3000 K or 4000 K.
The type of lamp used in many medium and all high-end portable projectors. These lamps emit a very high amount of light for the amount of power they consume. Unlike many other types of lamp, they slowly lose intensity (brightness) as they are used. As they get older the corners of the projected image becomes noticeably darker. Metal halide lamps usually last between 400 and 600 hundred hours. They usually cost from $300 to $600 retail, but most are around $500. These lamps output a very "hot" temperature light, Their whites are "extremely" white and make Halogen lamps whites look yellowish in comparison.
A high-intensity-discharge lamp in which the light is produced by arcing electricity through a mixture of metal halides. The light produced by metal halide lamps is in the white-blue spectrum, which encourages vegetative growth and "bushiness" while discouraging upward growth. This is the bulb to use in the first, vegetative phase of plant growth.
A type of HID lamp in which the major portion of the light is produced by radiation of metal halide and mercury vapors in the arc tube. Available in clear and phosphor-coated lamps.
A high-intensity discharge light source in which the light is produced by the radiation from mercury, together with halides of metals such as sodium and scandium. Produces a very efficient white light output.
A high-intensity discharge lamp type that uses mercury and several halide additives as light-producing elements. These lights have the best Color Rendition Index (CRI) of the High-Intensity Discharge lamps. They can be used for commercial interior lighting or for stadium lights.
Metal halide lamps, a member of the high-intensity discharge (HID) family of lamps, produce high light output for their size, making them a compact, powerful, and efficient light source. Originally created in the late 1960's for industrial use, metal halide lamps are now available in numerous sizes and configurations for commercial and residential applications. Like most HID lamps, metal halide lamps operate under high pressure and temperature, and require special fixtures to operate safely.
