Whats the difference between HID and Halogens lights?
Our High Intensity Halogen Lamps are rated at 75 watts each with a total of 300 watts and have an average life of about 2000 hours. These have an excellent CRI value, angle of illumination, inexpensive to replace and should be changed during your annual maintenance program. We prefer the halogens over LED as they have more punch. HID, High Intensity Discharge, refers to lighting technology that relies on an electrical charge to ignite xenon gas in a sealed bulb, similar to the lightning phenomenon in the sky. HID lighting does not have a filament but instead creates light by igniting an electrical discharge between two electrodes in an air tight tiny quartz capsule filled with xenon gas. HID lighting are also called Xenon lighting, referring to the gas inside the bulb. The 12 volt 35 watt High Intensity Discharge (HID) Ballast & Xenon Bulb delivers intense brilliant white light which cuts through the murkiest of water. These light sources produce a color temperature of 6,000k or 12,000
