GE MVR1000U Metal Halide Lamp
GE MVR1000U Metal Halide Lamp
Product Description :
- It is a type of high-intensity discharge (HID) lamp that produces light by creating an electrical arc through a mixture of gases and metal halide salts. These lamps are commonly used in outdoor and indoor lighting applications where high levels of light output and color rendering are required.
- The core component of a metal halide lamp is the arc tube, which is made of quartz or ceramic material. Inside the arc tube, there is a blend of mercury vapor and metal halide salts (such as sodium iodide, scandium iodide, or thallium iodide). When an electric current passes through the arc tube, it ionizes the gases and causes an arc to form between two electrodes.
- They are popular for their high light output and good color rendering properties, making them suitable for a wide range of commercial, industrial, and outdoor lighting applications. However, advancements in LED technology have led to the gradual replacement of metal halide lamps in many applications due to LEDs’ superior energy efficiency, longer lifespan, and faster response times.
