High Pressure Sodium (HPS) lamps are a type of discharge lighting that produce a bright, yellow-orange light. Known for their energy efficiency and long lifespan, they are commonly used in street lighting, parking lots, and industrial applications. HPS lamps have a high luminous efficacy but lower color rendering compared to other lighting types like metal halide.
Reflector Metal Halide lamps feature a built-in reflective surface that directs and concentrates light, improving efficiency and maximizing light distribution. These lamps are often used in outdoor and industrial lighting applications, such as streetlights and floodlights, to provide bright, focused illumination while minimizing light wastage. The reflector helps enhance performance by directing light where it’s needed most.
Standard Metal Halide (MH) lamps are a type of high-intensity discharge (HID) lighting that produce bright, white light by passing an electrical current through a gas-filled arc tube containing metal halide salts. They offer good color rendering but have slower start-up times and less efficiency compared to pulse-start versions. These lamps are commonly used in street lighting, warehouses, sports arenas, and other large spaces requiring high illumination.
HID Standby HPS refers to HPS lamps used as backup lighting in HID systems. HPS Retrofit allows upgrading existing systems to HPS lamps without changing the ballast. Both offer energy-efficient, long-lasting lighting for outdoor and industrial use.
