Color Metal Halide lamps are a type of metal halide lamp designed to produce a specific light color or spectrum, often used for applications requiring precise color rendering, like retail displays, photography, or horticulture. These lamps provide excellent color quality and high CRI (Color Rendering Index), making them ideal for environments where accurate color representation is crucial.
Protected Pulse Start Metal Halide (PSMH) lamps feature a pulse-start ignition system for quick, reliable starts and higher light output. The “protected” outer glass envelope shields the lamp, improving durability and color stability. These lamps are commonly used in commercial, industrial, and outdoor applications for consistent, high-quality illumination.
Protected Standard Metal Halide lamps feature a robust outer glass envelope that shields the inner arc tube, enhancing durability and preventing damage. They offer reliable performance with good color rendering and are commonly used in outdoor and industrial applications where protection from environmental factors is needed.
Pulse Start Metal Halide (PSMH) lamps use a pulse-start ignition system that allows for faster, more reliable lamp startup and improved light output compared to standard metal halide lamps. This system helps achieve stable operation and better color consistency throughout the lamp’s life. PSMH lamps are often used in commercial, industrial, and outdoor settings where high-intensity lighting is needed.
