High Intensity Discharge Lamps • Mercury Vapour • High Pressure Sodium Vapour • Metal Halide Mercury Vapour Requires a ballast to limit running current • External Starting is achieved buy a auxiliary • Internal electrode and resistor in the lamp External Ballasted HPMV Auxiliary electrode Resistor Internal Ballasted HPMV • High-pressure mercury tube in series with a tungsten filament • Runs on mains voltage without additional gear • Combines a continuous spectrum from the incandescent source and high pressure mercury source High Pressure Sodium Vapour • Requires a Ballast for control of running current • Ignitor to start the arc in the lamp Some smaller lamps may have an Ignitor incorporated in the lamp High Pressure Sodium Vapour Contains xenon as well as some mercury The colour difference between HPS and LPS is due to • Higher gas pressure slightly less than 1 atmosphere • Higher temperature 1100°C Pressure Broadening • Addition of mercury Arc tube is typically made of translucent sintered aluminium oxide. Efficacy 100 lm/W Near the end of their life exhibit a phenomenon known as cycling Metal Halide Quartz discharge tube containing • high-pressure mercury • Sodium halide • Scandium halides Argon is used to aid ignition.
