The biggest difference in HID lamps is the fact that they need a start-up time to reach their full brightness. This usually takes five to 10 minutes, during which time the lamp will flicker until the metal inside fully vaporizes and the lamp reaches is full operating temperature.

High Pressure Sodium/ Low Pressure Sodium (SOX) This series of HID lamps incorporates solid sodium, mercury and xenon or a neon/argon gas mixture within the arc tube. This combination of metals and gasses produces an orange-white light in the high-pressure version and a yellow light in the low-pressure model.

= Product by one of the Primary lamp manufacturers ANSI Codes All HID lamps and ballasts are identified by an ANSI code. The purpose of these codes are to make sure that the lamp from one manufacturer is properly matched to any other manufacturers ballast, therefore resulting in safe operation, and produce the designed light output.

HID Lamps Notes Measured vs Perceived Light Levels of HID Lamp Studies on nighttime visibility demonstrate experimentally that the human eyes is sensitive to different colors of light based on various lighting levels, thus impacting the “true” or “effective” lumen output of a lamp. Recent...
