What is a double ended metal halide?
What is a double ended metal halide?
The outer bulb of the double-ended metal halide lamp is made of heat-resistant quartz. The double-ended construction, in combination with the small tubular quartz outer envelope, makes it possible to use these lamps in small luminaires with special optics.
How many lumens is a 70w metal halide?
5600 lumens
This Sunlite 70-watt HID metal halide medium base ED17 bulb offers 5600 lumens of light output and has an average rated life of 15000 hours.
Are metal halide lights being phased out?
Most marine reef hobbyists preferred metal halide or T5 lighting technology because of cost consideration and that they will grow coral in reef aquariums. This fact remains undisputed but there are other costs to consider beside the cost of the lighting.
What ballast type is commonly used with metal halide lamps?
Most metal halide ballasts operate on 120-277V. These are called 4-tap ballasts and they operate 120/208/240/277V. You will also see 120-480V ballast, which is called a 5-tap ballast. These ballasts operate 120/208/240/277 & 480V.

What is the lumen output of a 250W metal halide lamp?
roughly 14,000 lumens
This is increasing common in commercial and industrial applications. For example, suppose you have a parking lot light that uses a 250-watt metal halide HID lamp. That 250-watt bulb outputs roughly 14,000 lumens (on average) in all directions.
WHAT LED is equivalent to a 70w HPS?
40 Watt LED
LED Light Bulb Conversion Chart
| Metal Halide / High Pressure Sodium to LED Wattages Conversion | |
|---|---|
| Original Lamp | LED Lamp |
| 150 Watt Metal Halide | 60-70 Watt LED |
| 175 Watt Metal Halide | 80-90 Watt LED |
| 70 Watt High Pressure Sodium | 40 Watt LED |
Are LEDs better than HPS?
Essentially, we’re talking about different technologies and calling them both “HPS.” LEDs are much the same. Though they’re generally more efficient than HPS (with some clocking 2.8 µmol/joule), some LEDs are less efficient than high-quality HPS fixtures, and they give you less light.
How many lumens is a 400 watt metal halide light?
A typical 400 watt highbay produces 20,000 lumens with a brand new lamp. However, that number quickly decreases due to the poor life of metal halide.
