What is metal halide lighting?

Metal halide lights are a type of high-intensity discharge light. They're frequently used as grow lights for plants in conjunction with HPS (high pressure sodium) lights. MH lights are better for the earlier vegetative growth stages.

Sodium and Chlorine. Sodium is a metal and chlorine is a halide gas.


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.

What does a metal halide light do to a plant?

Metal-halide light is helpful for plant growth and is often used for indoor plant growing applications. Metal-halide lights produce blue-frequency light. They can provide the temperature , as well as the spectrum of light that encourages plant growth.


Can you use a 400W high pressure sodium bulb in a metal halide ballast?

No, the ballast has to be matched to the lamp. 250 watt ballast, 250 watt lamp. Also be sure to match the lamp type to the proper ballast even though the wattage is the same. HPS ballast to HPS lamp, Metal halide ballast to metal halide lamp and mercury vapour lamp to mercury vapour ballast.
