What color is metal halide light?

white light
Metal halide lamps generate a very cool white light. They are available in color temperatures as low as 3000K. Some metal halides are available with extremely cool color temperatures up to 20,000K.

How do you know if a metal halide bulb is bad?

Usually the lamps will gain a pinkish hue when compared to other lamps in the same system. This is caused when metal vapors in the lamp are expired from heat or burning, and the lack of a particular mixture in the arc tube renders a different color.

How many lumens is a 400 watt metal halide light?

24,000
The mean lumens for the 400W metal halide lamp is approximately 24,000. The recommended replacement for the 400W metal halide flood is the 120W HyLite LED Prizm, producing approximately 13,000 lumens.

How many lumens in a 70 watt metal halide lamp?

What is the Lumen Output of a Metal Halide? Metal Halide Wattage Delivered Lumens LED Wattage Equivalent 70 W 5,600 19 W LED 100 W 8,500 23 W LED 175 W 15,000 62 W LED 250 W 22,000 124 W LED

How does a metal halide light bulb work?

Like all high intensity discharge bulbs, metal halides work by passing a current through a closed, gas-filled container (often a mixture of argon and mercury). The current is passed between two electrodes and this heats up the metal halides (metal and halogen compounds).

What is metal halide HID lighting technology?

A metal-halide lamp is an electrical lamp that produces light by an electric arc through a gaseous mixture of vaporized mercury and metal halides (compounds of metals with bromine or iodine).It is a type of high-intensity discharge (HID) gas discharge lamp. Developed in the 1960s, they are similar to mercury vapor lamps, but contain additional metal halide compounds in the quartz arc tube

What is a metal halide fixture?

Metal halide bulbs are a type of high-intensity discharge gas (HID) electric lamps that are capable of producing light by use of an electric arc that has a mixture of gases (metal halides such as bromine or iodine and mercury). They produce intense white light that is suitable for use in greenhouses,…
