Sulfur lamp
[edit]Advantages
[edit]Sulfur lighting has several advantages over other commercially available technologies:
- Quality of light. At a color temperature of 6000 K and a color rendering index (CRI) of 79, sulfur light closely resembles the sun's natural spectrum. Sulfur light is very low in harmful ultraviolet (<l%) and infrared (8%).
- Efficiency. About as efficient as the best available high-pressure sodium lamps, with efficacies of 90-110 lumens per watt.
- Long life. There are no filaments or electrodes to bum out or degrade. The magnetron is rated at 15,000 hours, while the lamp system is rated at 45,000 hours.
- Lumen depreciation. Light output does not depreciate as significantly over the life of the lamp, as other technologies.
- Dimmable. Sulfur technology allows dimming from 30-100% of full output.
Notes
[edit]Sulfur lamp installations to track down:
- Chrysler plant in Arlington (maybe Plano) Texas
- Auto plant Ohio:
- Volvo plant in Sweden
