HID Lamps

HID Basics

Visible Light

HOW IT WORKS

The operational concept behind HID lamps is very similar to that of fluorescent lamps. Electrodes are positioned at either end of a tube, whose chamber is filled with gas and metals such as mercury. An electrical charge passes from one electrode to the other. In fluorescent lamps, this charge creates ultraviolet (UV) light, which converts to visible light once it passes through the phosphors on the tube’s interior.

In an HID lamp, the electrical arc, gasses and metals are contained in what is known as the arc tube. The arc tube is made from either quartz (used in mercury vapor and metal halide lamps) or transparent ceramic (used in high-pressure sodium lamps because of their high temperature). All arc tubes are housed within a larger outer glass envelope.

Unlike fluorescent lamps, the arc tube of HID lamps is filled with gas at a very high rate of pressure (up to 50 psi). This allows the electrical arc created by the electrodes to operate in the visible part of the spectrum, producing usable light without the addition of phosphors.

Like fluorescents, HID lamps require a ballast to control the electrical current in the arc tube. Certain HID lamps also require an ignitor, which produces a high voltage to pulse the arc tube, allowing the arc to strike.

The biggest difference in HID lamps is the fact that they need a start-up time to reach their full brightness. This usually takes five to 10 minutes, during which time the lamp will flicker until the metal inside fully vaporizes and the lamp reaches is full operating temperature.

Starting Electrode (Probe)

New HID lamps require a “burn in” period of approximately 100 hours before the lamp will reach its true specified color. Until this process is completed, lamps can be unstable and vary in color.

As HID lamps age, chemical changes occur that cause color shifting. The shifts vary depending

FACT:

HID lamp color is rated in kelvins and is reffered to as its Correlated Color Temperature (CCT).

FACT:

Colors are created by using different arc tube designs and changing the mixture of chemicals within the tube.

on the lamp type. Standard probe start lamps tend to shift color about twice as much as pulse start lamps. Results vary from lamp to lamp.

It is recommended to conduct a group relamping once it is determined that a lamp or group of lamps is changing color or failing. This way, the area being illuminated will maintain an even balance of color and light.

Major HID Categories

Mercury Vapor

The original of the three HID categories operates by using a small amount of liquid mercury sealed in a quartz tube with argon gas. The arc created by the mercury vapor lamp produces both visible and invisible (UV) light. The visible light is blue-white in color and is best suited for outdoor lighting applications because of its poor color rendering capabilities. Some mercury vapor lamps incorporate phosphors similar to those used in fluorescent lamps to improve color to a certain degree. Mercury vapor lamps can achieve life spans of 10,000 to 24,000 hours.

Typical applications: Street lighting, industrial hi-bay, parking lots, building flood lighting, general flood lighting, places where long life is required and color rendering is not critical.

Metal Halide

Metal halide lamps are similar to

mercury vapor models except

for the addition of metal

halides of sodium iodide and

scandium iodide. Certain

metal halide lamps feature

other iodides to improve the efficiency and color balance of the lamp. Metal halide represents the most popular

and widely used HID category.

Typical applications:

General lighting such as

commercial/industrial/outdoor

flood lighting where good color

and high efficiency are desired.

There is a series of HID lamps that has a protective glass shroud around the arc tube that acts as a barrier to block any particles from exiting the lamp’s outer bulb.

Since the arc tube of the HID lamp is a highly pressurized environment, it is mandatory that the fixture that houses the lamp have a protective lens. This lens will contain glass fragments or other hot particles should the arc tube experience a failure.

The wider bulb neck will not fit past the ceramic neck of the socket.

The standard center contact won’t reach the contact in the dedicated socket.

High Pressure Sodium/

Low Pressure Sodium (SOX)

This series of HID lamps incorporates solid sodium, mercury and xenon or a neon/argon gas mixture within the arc tube. This combination of metals and gasses produces an orange-white light in the high-pressure version and a yellow light in the low-pressure model. Both lamps boast a luminous efficiency that is much greater than its mercury vapor or metal halide counterparts.

Typical applications:

Street lighting, industrial hi-bay, parking lots, building flood lighting and general area lighting.

ANSI Codes

All HID lamps and ballasts are identified by an ANSI code. The purpose of these codes are to make sure that the lamp from one manufacturer is properly matched to any other manufacturers ballast, therefore resulting in safe operation, and produce the designed light output. Especially with the increasing complexities of metal halide product offerings, it is very important that the ballast and lamp ANSI codes are matched before use. The most recent changes to the ANSI lamp codes have added the E, S, and O letter designations. For example, a 400 watt probe start metal halide lamp will have an ANSI code of M59/E, M59/S, or M59/ O. This should be used only on a ballast with an ANSI code of M59.

E - Lamps must be used in enclosed luminaires which meet the requirements of UL1598. S - Lamps are considered “suitable” for open luminaire operation, only if operated in the vertical ±15° position. Lamps do not meet ANSI criteria for containment and must be turned off at least once per week for a minimum of 15 minutes if operated continuously. In addition these lamps must be group relamped before reaching rated lamp life. O - Lamps can be operated in open or enclosed luminaires within the manufacturer’s specified operating position limits. This type meets the ANSI criteria for containment rated operation. Special exclusionary sockets are available for these lamps to ensure that the wrong lamp type is not used.

Rated Life

The rated life of metal halide lamps is based on the point when 50% of the lamps have burned out, based on a burn cycle of 10 hours per start. Various operating conditions affect lamp life. One key factor is operating position. Lamps designated universal can be operated in any position. However, life expectancy and lumen output are sacrificed in certain positions. Published “rated life” for universal lamps is based on operation in the vertical position. “Rated life” for universal lamps operated horizontally is 75% of the published rating. Shorter operating cycles also severely reduce life. At operating cycles shorter than 10 hours per start, life will shorten as follows:

5 hrs per start: Life is approx. 75% of rating

2.5 hrs per start: Life is approx. 55% of rating

Initial Lumen Listings

Rated initial lumens are based on measurements at 100 hours of use, and are based on specified burning position. The measures listed for universal position lamps are based on a vertical burning position; horizontal usage decreases the output by 25 to 30%. For specifics on any particular lamp, call Satco customer service (800-43-SATCO).

Safety Warnings

It is the responsibility of the purchaser to read all safety warnings on the lamp package before use. For more information, call Satco customer service (800-43-SATCO).

HID lamps

Steps to choosing the correct Metal Halide lamp.

1) Determine the correct wattage.

2) Determine the base.

3) Choose the shape. ED and BT style lamps are generally interchangeable

4) Determine the correct size, some wattages come in multiple sizes. For example, 400w lamps are standard ED37, but are also commonly available in an ED28 compact envelope.

5) Determine burning position, BU, BD, Vertical, Horizontal, or Universal.

6)

Determine Pulse Start, or Probe Start. Pulse Start is standard on lower wattage lamps, (39 through 150 watts).

Probe Start is standard on higher wattage lamps, (175 through 1500 watts), however Pulse Start technology is being used more and more on the higher wattages.

7) Determine whether the project is calling for the newer Ceramic Arc tube lamps. These lamps offer higher color rendering, and Lumen Output than the more traditional Quartz Arc tube lamps.

8) Determine whether fixture requires an Open Rated (Protected) lamp, or an Enclose Rated lamp.

9) All Metal Halide lamps and ballasts are identified with an ANSI code. It is best to make sure that the ANSI code matches between the ballast and lamp.

HID Lamps Notes

Measured vs Perceived Light Levels of HID Lamp

Studies on nighttime visibility demonstrate experimentally that the human eyes is sensitive to different colors of light based on various lighting levels, thus impacting the “true” or “effective” lumen output of a lamp. Recent research shows that the color of a light source has a significant effect on nighttime visibility, which is important since most road accidents happen at night. It is also well known that the eye responds to color differently based on the amount of light available.

While lumens are the standard measurement of light output, light is actually defined as energy evaluated by the eye. Standard lumen measurements are based on the light output response of a person only during high light levels (photopic light), typical of daylight and interior lighting. Light meters measure photopic light as seen by the central region of the eye. When light levels are very low, like starlight, the viewing conditions are referred to as scotopic. Under these conditions, the eyes visual response changes dramatically. Sensitivity to yellow and red light is greatly reduced, while response to blue light is vastly increased. Since lamp lumen measurements have been determined using photopic measurements, the lumen values do not accurately measure the effective light output as perceived by the human eye.

Since the value of a lamp’s lumen output is different when considering the shifting color sensitivity of the eye at low levels, the effective lumens will be different from the measurable photopic lumens. As light diminishes

HID lamps

from photopic to scotopic conditions, the effective lumens of yellow sodium light sources are reduced, and the effective lumens of the whiter metal halide sources increase. This effect is most dramatic for low pressure sodium (SOX) lamps. Almost all energy output from SOX lamps is yellow, resulting in an artificially high photopic lumen output, yet a very low perceived light output in low light level applications.

Metal Halide 2005 NEC Changes

The 2005 update to the National Electrical Code (NEC) includes two changes that affect the manufacture and installation of metal halide luminaires. Both changes address methods for preventing risk when metal halide lamps are used.

The purpose of these changes is to prevent possible injury and property damage. Metal halide lamps can explode, shooting hot glass out of the luminaire, or fixture. In an open luminaire - one that does not have a lens - this can result in a fire, personal injury, and property damage. Although violent failure is a rare occurrence (about three incidents per year), the NEC has included these changes to help eliminate the hazard.

In sports facilities, particularly in schools, athletic activity can break the outer jacket of a metal halide lamp used in an open luminaire. When this happens, the arc tube can continue to operate with a damaged or missing outer jacket. This leads to reports of UV over-exposure, including sunburn and a burning sensation around the eyes. The NEC change requires complete lamp enclosure in these facilities, which will provide mechanical protection to reduce the possibility of damage to the outer lamp jacket.

NEC changes for open luminaires

The NEC change regarding open luminaires is the new section 410.73(F)(5) that states, “Metal Halide Lamp Containment. Luminaires (fixtures) that use a metal halide lamp other than a thick-glass parabolic reflector lamp (PAR) shall be provided with a containment barrier that encloses the lamp, or shall be provided with a physical means that only allows the use of a lamp that is Type O.”

120

Typical metal halide lamps have strong light output in the blue, green and yellow areas, resulting in high lumen output at all light levels. The blue light output of metal halide is in the high sensitivity region of the eye for low light levels. This means that the effective lumens actually increase for a metal halide lamp as the light level reduces and the eye shifts to a blue/ green peak sensitivity. The ability to detect fine contrast is also significantly better under metal halide sources than sodium, making it a more effective light source in warehouse and retail applications. Studies have shown that metal halide lighting, in some circumstances, can be up to six times as effective as HPS. This can make a difference in peripheral viewing and dark areas where hidden hazards may be present.

Therefore, to meet the 2005 NEC requirements, luminaires that use metal halide lamps must either:

• Be enclosed to provide a containment barrier.

• Use a special lampholder that will only accept an ANSI Type O rated metal halide lamp.

NEC 2005 changes for sporting facilities

The NEC change regarding open luminaires is the new section 410.4(E) that states, “Luminaires (fixtures) subject to physical damage, using a mercury vapor or metal halide lamp, installed in playing and spectator seating areas of indoor sports, mixed-use, or allpurpose facilities shall be of the type that protects the lamp with a glass or plastic lens. Such luminaires (fixtures) shall be permitted to have an additional guard.”
