High Intensity Discharge Lamps Specifications

Help with High Intensity Discharge Lamps specifications:

High Intensity Discharge (HID) Lamp Type

	Your choices are...
	Mercury Lamp		A lamp that emits light as the result of the passage of an electrical current through ionized mercury vapor (253.7nm, 312.6nm, 334.1nm, 365.0nm, 404.7nm, 435.8nm, 546.1nm, 577.0nm, 1014.0nm).
	Metal Halide Lamps		A metal halide lamp is a high-intensity discharge light source in which light is produced by radiation from mercury and from halides of metals such as sodium, scandium, indium, and dysprosium. Some lamp types may also use phosphor coatings.
	Sodium Lamp		An electric discharge lamp in which the conducting vapor is that of metallic sodium instead of the usual mercury. It emits a strong yellow light of a single wavelength (590nm).
	Xenon Lamp		A xenon lamp is a high-intensity discharge light source which produces light by electrical discharge through xenon vapor. Xenon lamps operate a relatively high pressures and temperatures.
	Other		Any high intensity discharge (HID) lamps not listed.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

	Initial Lumens		Initial lumens are the initial light output. A lumen is the standard international (SI) unit of luminous flux or quantity of light.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
	Mean Lumens		Mean lumens is the average lamp output over a designated amount of time, usually 40 to 50 % of rated lamp life. A lumen is the standard international (SI) unit of luminous flux or quantity of light.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
	Color Temperature		Color temperature is a measure of the visual "warmth" or "coolness" of the light from the lamp. The higher the value, the whiter or "cooler" the light appears.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
	Color Rendering Index		Color rendering index is an indication of a lamp's ability to render object colors in a normal, natural way. A higher number indicates better color appearance. Numbers range from 0 to 100.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

Lamp Bases

	Your choices are...
	1" Ribbon Leads		1" ribbon leads.
	4" Leads		4" Leads.
	6" Flex Leads		6" flexible leads.
	2-Pin		2 Pins make the connection for the lamp.
	4-Pin (Circling)		Circling is a four-pin connection.
	Ad medium		Ad medium is halfway between a medium based and a mogul screw base.
	Ad medium Skirted		Ad medium is halfway between a medium based and a mogul screw base. The term "skirted" means that the base flares out at the top.
	Base Restricted Mogul		Movement of the base is restricted. The restricted mogul base is used for many mercury, metal halide, and sodium lamps. It also used for incandescent lamps over 300 W. Lamps requiring more than 200 V are more likely to have a mogul (or larger) base instead of a medium base.
	Bi-Pin T-5		Bi-pin T-5 uses a miniature-sized, two-pin connection.
	Bi-Pin T-8		Bi-pin T-8 uses a small, two-pin connection.
