When you think of light bulbs, you look for voltage and efficiency. So not many know what high pressure sodium lights are. It is simply a more efficient form of lighting that involves gases instead of Mercury. The gases create an electric flow that emits light. It's used in hydroponic gardening and in newer headlights for cars. It is also gaining popularity because it lasts about twice as long as traditional lighting, saving users both time from having to replace it and money. So if your old bulbs are starting to dim, try replacing them with high pressure sodium lights.
