2. High-intensity discharge lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-intensity_discharge_lamp

   HID lamps produce different colors of light primarily through the use of various metal additives in the lamp's arc tube and the physics of the gas discharge process. [11] Metal Additives: HID lamps contain an arc tube filled with a mixture of gases, including a noble gas (like xenon). These metal additives are crucial for producing different ...

3. Metal-halide lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal-halide_lamp

   Like other gas-discharge lamps such as the very-similar mercury-vapor lamps, metal-halide lamps produce light by ionizing a mixture of gases in an electric arc.In a metal-halide lamp, the compact arc tube contains a mixture of argon or xenon, mercury, and a variety of metal halides, such as sodium iodide and scandium iodide. [7]

4. Hydrargyrum quartz iodide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrargyrum_quartz_iodide

   An HQI lamp consists of a protective outer glass shield surrounding two heavy wires which are inserted into each end of a smaller inner quartz arctube containing argon, mercury and metal halides. The lamp is powered by an electrical ballast , which regulates the current flow through the arc in the arctube, and an ignitor, to make the high ...

5. Gas-discharge lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas-discharge_lamp

   High-pressure lamps have a discharge that takes place in gas under slightly less to greater than atmospheric pressure. For example, a high pressure sodium lamp has an arc tube under 100 to 200 torr pressure, about 14% to 28% of atmospheric pressure; some automotive HID headlamps have up to 50 bar or fifty times atmospheric pressure.

6. U-HID - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U-HID

   The brilliance of a U-HID lamp can reach 80% in four seconds under normal temperature conditions, and can start working at 100% instantly after a re-ignition. Comparatively, the intensity of light from a U-HID lamp is at least three times stronger than a metal halide HID lamp in a color range of 4200K (cold light).

7. Hydrargyrum medium-arc iodide lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrargyrum_medium-arc...

   An HMI lamp uses mercury vapour mixed with metal halides in a quartz-glass envelope, with two tungsten electrodes of medium arc separation. Unlike traditional lighting units using incandescent light bulbs , HMIs need electrical ballasts , which are separated from the head via a header cable, to limit current and supply the proper voltage.

8. Ceramic metal-halide lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_metal-halide_lamp

   Streetlamp with a ceramic metal halide bulb Ceramic metal halide bulb with G12 socket. A ceramic metal-halide lamp (CMH), also generically known as a ceramic discharge metal-halide (CDM) lamp, [1] is a type of metal-halide lamp that is 10–20% more efficient than the traditional quartz metal halide [2] and produces a superior color rendition (80-96 CRI).

9. Mercury-vapor lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury-vapor_lamp

   A closeup of a 175-W mercury-vapor lamp. The small diagonal cylinder at the bottom of the arc tube is a resistor which supplies current to the starter electrode. A mercury-vapor lamp is a gas-discharge lamp that uses an electric arc through vaporized mercury to produce light. [1]
