Definition
High pressure metal halide gas-discharge lamps having a special
shaped are tube wit iodide additives of sodium and scandium in
the mercury discharge to produce 100 lumens/watt. The special
shaped arc tube is in a hard glass outer bulb with or without a
phosphor costing
Description
~ Basically metal halide lamps operate on the same principle as all
gas discharge lamps. In view of the need for alight source with
‘Q00d color rendering and high luminous efficacy, the are tube
Contains metal halide compounds which have the effect of
improving the color appearance and increasing the luminous
eificacy.
Further improvement in luminous elficacy is gained by the
special shaping of the ec tube. The lower end of the a tubes
Considerably smaller than the other end
Because of the shaped arc tube design, these lamps must be
burned only in a vertical base up position +t 15°.
= The phosphor coating on the inside of the outer bulb contributes
to.a warmer color temperature.
= Because of the high starting voltage requirements, an ANS!
specified MBS ballast is required
