Genesis Lamp offers a wide selection of HID (High Intensity Discharge) light bulbs, including: high pressure sodium light bulbs, low pressure sodium light bulbs, mercury vapor light bulbs and metal halide light bulbs.
High Intensity Discharge light bulbs also known as HID bulbs are an excellent option for energy efficient lighting. They are in use almost everywhere. f From the local grocery store, to warehouses and factories, to parking lots and highway lights, Hid bulbs can be found anywhere. HID light bulbs are simply the most efficient method of lighting large areas, where color rendering and quality are not extremely important factors. Some HID lighting is a subdued orange color, like so many street lights tend to be. This does not mean that HID's must be that way, as many of them are actually in the cool white part of the light spectrum. These types of light bulbs have extremely long life cycles, many as high as 20,000 hours or more. This helps to justify the higher initial cost of HID lighting systems.

HID Light Bulbs
Metal Halide light bulbs - The most important and most popular member of the HID lighting family. It's a bulb-within-a-bulb. Where an arc tube is placed inside a larger bulb. The arc tube causes the halides inside to glow, and glow brightly, offering a very high lumens per watt ratio. In other words, you can use very little energy to produce a whole lot of light! Metal Halides come in two main shapes, and a few less common ones. The most popular in use is the BT28 or BT37 shape. These are typically put in high bay light fixtures, high above the environment where people are. The ED17 shape is longer and thinner, and is used in places where space is at a premium. The lesser known PAR shape Metal Halide flood bulb is used when all of the light produced needs to be directed in one way or another. There are a lot of other metal halide shapes and sizes, most commonly used in highly specialized medical equipment. Metal Halides provide a good quality of color rendering and a very favorable color temperature of 4100K, which is often referred to as cool white.
Mercury Vapor bulbs - Are the older technology and as such have characteristics that make them less desirable than Metal Halides. Mercury light bulbs provide a cool white light, but tend to change the color of light output as the life of the bulb passes. That is to say, the older the bulb gets, the more color shift will take place. This happens with all HID bulbs, but Mercury Vapor light bulbs are particularly susceptible. Some of the common Mercury bulbs are the ED28 and ED17 models. While Sylvania used to make a PAR lamp in this style, they are no longer available. Metal Halide popularity has far surpassed the need for a Mercury vapor model. There are R30 and R40 models available for spot and flood lighting purposes.
High Pressure Sodium light bulbs - Are the longest lasting HID bulbs, but they are also the poorest color rendering and color temperature models by far. High Pressure Sodium bulbs (HPS bulbs) are very orange in color and generally cause objects in the light to appear a very muted or even different color than it should be. Most artists or car paint shops would not be satisfied with this type of lighting! However, due to the fact that the bulbs are relatively inexpensive, they do serve well in certain applications. The most popular by far is in street lighting. Keeping enough light in your community is important, but having bright, white light would not be necessary and would actually be undesirable for the citizens who are trying to get a good night's sleep. Many other parking lots still use Low Pressure Sodium or High Pressure Sodium light bulbs, but more and more, they are turning to the whiter and better color rendering of the Metal Halides.
Low pressure sodium light bulbs - Have what people typically call a bug yellow color. The color rendering of low pressure sodium light bulbs are poor, making them a bad choice, when color is critical. But if you have fixtures that have these, you'll know that nothing puts out more light for the least amount of watts. Low pressure sodium light bulbs are also used for dark sky conditions, in cities where light pollution needs to be kept under control by regulation. - A bug yellow color. - Monochromatic light. - DC bayonet base B22d. - Low pressure sodium light bulbs are good for dark sky conditions.
