Small
but powerful
High pressure discharge lamps differ from incandescent
lamps in the way in which they produce light. They are
very efficient because they generate extremely high
luminous flux in a very small space.
For example, a 2000W metal halide lamp, such as the
ones installed in football stadium floodlights, produces
as much light as two 5000W incandescent lamps. The area
in which the light is produced no larger than a 2 euro
coin. Other advantages of modern high pressure discharge
lamps include low thermal output, excellent colour rendering
and long life. What's more, because of the compact dimensions
of these lamps, their light can be easily and accurately
directed.
Consequently, high pressure discharge lamps are the
light sources of choice
- wherever products and objects need to be displayed,
such as in shop windows and retail outlets.
- where bright light and long life are important,
for example in factories, in stadiums and for street
lighting.
- and for plant lighting.
