  1. Electrical Installation Practice 2 LSEGG304A 9080D

  2. Lighting Concepts3

  3. Content • Types of high intensity discharge lights • Colour rendering of high intensity discharge lights • Operating principles of high intensity discharge lights • Control equipment associated with high intensity discharge lights • Efficacy of high intensity discharge lights • Common faults in discharge lights discharge lamps.

  4. High Intensity Discharge Lamps • Mercury Vapour • High Pressure Sodium Vapour • Metal Halide

  5. Mercury Vapour Requires a ballast to limit running current • External • Internal Starting is achieved buy a auxiliary electrode and resistor in the lamp

  6. External Ballasted HPMV Auxiliary electrode Resistor

  7. Internal Ballasted HPMV • High-pressure mercury tube in series with a tungsten filament • Runs on mains voltage without additional gear • Combines a continuous spectrum from the incandescent source and high pressure mercury source

  8. High Pressure Sodium Vapour • Requires a Ballast for control of running current • Ignitor to start the arc in the lamp Some smaller lamps may have an Ignitor incorporated in the lamp

  9. High Pressure Sodium Vapour Contains xenon as well as some mercury • The colour difference between HPS and LPS is due to • Higher gas pressure • Higher temperature • Addition of mercury slightly less than 1 atmosphere 1100°C Pressure Broadening Arc tube is typically made of translucent sintered aluminium oxide. Efficacy 100 lm/W Near the end of their life exhibit a phenomenon known as cycling

  10. Metal Halide Quartz discharge tube containing • high-pressure mercury • Sodium halide • Scandium halides Argon is used to aid ignition.
