| HID Lamp Data | HID Ballast Data |
The most common HID lamps are metal halide (MH) and high pressure sodium (HPS). Both feature long lamp life and can withstand temperature extremes without significant loss of light output. Both sources require time to start up and restrike. Kelvin temperature is 2,000K (a yellowish-white color) for HPS and from 3,000 to 4,100K (a white to blue white color) for MH. Other lamps are available to address specific global markets. Lamp / ballast system performance may vary per manufacturer. Certain metal halide lamps should be enclosed. Consult factory for details.
