How many lumens is a 100 watt metal halide bulb?
9000 lumen
These 100 watt metal halide bulbs have a bright 9000 lumen output. They are medium base (E26), ED17 bulbs with an average life span of 12, 000 hours.
How much heat does a metal halide produce?
When fully lit, the Metal Halide lamp will reach a temperature of 2000 degrees Fahrenheit and operates at a vapour pressure between 70 and 90 pounds per square inch.
What are metal halide lights used for?
Uses. Metal-halide lamps are used for general lighting purposes both indoors and outdoors, such as commercial, industrial, and public spaces, parking lots, sports arenas, factories, and retail stores, as well as residential security lighting; automotive and specialty applications are further fields of usage.
Will a metal halide ballast work with a high pressure sodium bulb?
The primary visual difference between them is that metal halide light is white and the light emitted from a High Pressure Sodium bulb is amber orange. These bulbs cannot be interchanged without changing their ballast, the regulating element in all light bulbs.
Why is LED better than metal halide?
LEDs tend to last much longer and are a more energy efficient and less maintenance intensive technology. Metal halides have long warm-up periods and a shorter lifespan but produce a very high quality light and are one of the most efficient lights when it comes to very cool color temperature outputs.
What is the best metal halide bulb for growing?
HORTILUX Metal Halide lamps are specially designed to provide the spectral energy required for beginning stages of plant growth. HORTILUX Metal Halide out performs most grow lamps because of high initial light intensity and consistent output of the exclusive EYE HORTILUX spectrum.
How far should metal halide lights be from plants?
7 to 18 inches away
A 400-Watt metal halide grow light should be mounted at least 7 to 18 inches away from the tops of your plants and can light an area measuring 16 square feet. Covering a 25 square foot area, a 600-Watt MH grow light should be at least 10 to 27 inches above your plants.
