High Pressure Sodium Firing Up

A 70-watt High Pressure Sodium lamp firing up.
For musical entertainment, the nighttime cue of Thorntail Hollow from Starfox Adventures. I just thought I should make my street light-related films a bit musical with some of the night music from Starfox Adventures.

is it just me, or does the music and the video go perfectly together :D

[tpirman1982]

@sodiumvapor13 The music and the video are a perfect combo.

All the nighttime music from Starfox Adventures is quite calming for High Pressure Sodium luminaires. Not only that, Around The Corner by Michael Karp also fits the mood.

Nice! How many street lights do you have? so far I have 3 (one MV one HPS and one MH) I hope to get them up soon

[tpirman1982]

3, hopefully going on four when I find the top housing of a General Electric M400R2 'cause i found two refractor doors of one, plus a glass lens that fits them..

[drummer92unknow]

thanks,but you havent answered my question. the diffrence between high presure and low presure. which is brighter for same wattage. I like hid though

[tpirman1982]

Oh, I see,

I dunno what is brighter or the difference.

@drummer92unknow LPS is more Efficent than HPS for Example a 135 Watt LPS Lamp would theoretically be as Bright as a 200 or 250 Watt HPS Lamp.

[SilverlinerOV50]

@drummer92unknow LPS is most efficient (200 LP/W) HPS however come in much higher wattages (up to 1000) LPS are only up to 180 watts, both are more efficient then LEDs

EXCITING

[SilverlinerOV50]

OK there are 4 HID sources High Pressure Sodium, Low Pressure Sodium, Metal Halide and Mercury Vapour, Low Pressure Sodium puts out the most Lumens per watt, all put out about the same amount of heat.

led red blue

[gailgrove]

Yep thats it.

Is the Son-T the one that gives out the light the same colour as an incandescent lamp at a colour temp of 2700`K Iv been trying to get hold of that type of Son Lamp but so far been unsuccessful Iv seen them used on some of the road by the sea front although Metal Halide lamps are available in all colours the most common is Cool White & Warm White.

[gailgrove]

There is a type called SON-T that produces white light.
