High pressure sodium vapor lamp.

Two varieties of such lamps exist. The lamp is an improvement over the lps lamp in that it has more acceptable color with the great efficiency of the sodium lamp. Typically these lights are used on sides of industrial buildings and in some street lamps.

They emit bright yellow light. The high pressure sodium lamps have excellent colour rendition with a white colour appearance. Sodium bulbs can last up to 20 000 hours. High pressure sodium lights are used for illuminating large outdoor areas.

In 1959 the development of polycrystalline alumina pca opened a new path to introduce the high pressure sodium vapor lamp as this material is very rarely affected by high pressure and temperature sodium vapor. A sodium vapor lamp is a gas discharge lamp that uses sodium in an excited state to produce light at a characteristic wavelength near 589 nm. As the main arc strikes and the gas heats up and increases in pressure the light shifts into the visible range and the high gas pressure causes. The sodium is mixed with other impurities to create a.

The first lamp with 400 w 42000 initial lumens and 6000 hour life first came in the market in 1965. Some bulbs also briefly produce a pure to bluish white light. High pressure sodium hps lamps are smaller and contain additional elements such as mercury and produce a dark pink glow when first struck and an intense pinkish orange light when warmed.

High pressure sodium vapor hps lights similar to lps lights are a specific type of gas discharge light also known as a high intensity discharge hid or arc light. The principal difference between low and high pressure sodium lights is the operating pressure inside the lamp. When a mercury vapor lamp is first turned on it will produce a dark blue glow because only a small amount of the mercury is ionized and the gas pressure in the arc tube is very low so much of the light is produced in the ultraviolet mercury bands. The heavy duty transformer or ballast is also long lived if the bulbs are changed out before they burn out.
