How can you tell if the halophane light you have is a metal halide or high pressure sodium?

If you have one or more of each type working, it is easy to tell the difference, a metal halide lamp produces a wide spectrum very white light, the high pressure sodium is a narrow spectrum light that is very yellow. If you just have the light fixture, and need to know what kind of lamp it is made for, the lamp type is often mentioned on the ballast nameplate or a small sticker near the lamp socket. If that does not work, a metal halide ballast will usually be two pieces, a transformer with a heavy laminated metal core, and a capacitor in a silver can. The sodium lamp ballast will have these also, but in addition it will have a lamp striker in a second silver can, or a plastic module. In other words Metal Halide ballast: 2 pieces, HPSodium ballast: 3 components.


Why do sodium oxide and sodium chloride burn the same color?

Both sodium oxide and sodium chloride contain sodium ions which exhibit a characteristic yellow color when burned. This color comes from the emission of energy as the electrons in the sodium ions transition to lower energy levels. Thus, both compounds burn with a yellow flame.
