Howard Lighting is committed to quality!

We constantly test and evaluate our products.

Testing and Evaluation of lamps

• We are testing all lamps on our burn in racks,

plus in our photo sphere for lumens, color,

CRI, etc.

• Each production run is tested at the factory

and again when the product is received in our

warehouse.

• Independent testing has also be conducted

on several lamps.

HID Lamps Howard Lighting manufactures a vast selection of

high quality lighting products that are ideal for

commercial, industrial, and utility uses. Featuring

Howard’s best-in-class HID lamps, they have a long

life, high efficiency, and are engineered for

performance. Available in different wattages and

sizes, our High Pressure Sodium, Metal Halide,

Mercury Vapor, and Pulse Start lamps are certain to

satisfy your lighting needs.

ANSI Code

This code is developed

and assigned by the

American National

Standards Institute. The

ANSI Code consists type

of lamps as S=HPS,

H=Mercury, M=Metal

Halide and followed by

ballast number. For Metal

Halide lamps, the ballast

number is followed by the

fixture requirement (O, E,

S).

LCL = Light Center Length

Measurement from the center of the arc tube to

the bottom of the lamp base

MOL = Maximum Overall Length

Measured as the maximum distance from the

top of the bulb to the bottom of the base.

Basic Lamp Ordering Information

Cross Reference information

We have provided a complete cross

reference guide to help assist in

converting competitive product to

Howard model numbers.

Cross reference information is

available for HPS, Metal Halide, Pulse

Start, and Mercury Vapor.

Information regarding HID Lamps

Average Life (Hours)

Average life is defined as the total operation hours at which 50% of any group of lamps is still under operation.

The average life of a lamp is based upon vertical operation of representative lamps operated under controlled

conditions of at least 10 hours per start (except MH1500 which is based on 5 hours per start).

Warm Up Time

Most HID lamps do not have instant capabilities. It may take several minutes for the arc tube to stabilize before

optimal light output is achieved.

Hot Restrike

In most instances, if an HID lamp experiences a momentary power interruption or sudden voltage drop, the lamp

may extinguish. A lamp that is still hot will not restart immediately, because the arc tube within the lamp must

cool down before it can re-start. HID lamps have hot restrike times ranging from 1-15 minutes depending on the

product type.

Information regarding HID Lamps (cont.)

Fixture Requirement

Developed by the American National Standard Institute (ANSI), the fixture requirement code describes the type of

fixture required for each lamp type. See lamp warnings for additional information and proper operating

instructions.

E = Lamps classified as E-type are to be used only in suitably rated enclosed luminaires.

O = Lamps classified as O-type, comply with ANSI Standard C78.387 for containment testing and may be used in

open luminaires.

Color (Correlated Color Temperature – CCT)

The correlated color temperature (color) of a light source is expressed in Kelvin (K). Kelvin is a means of

describing the appearance of the lighting space. “Warm” light sources have a low color temperature (2000-3000K)

and feature more light in the red/orange/yellow range. Light with a color temperature (>4000K) features more blue

and is referred to as “Cool”.

With new installations or group relamps all color performance evaluations should be made after at least 100 hours

of operation. Additional changes in chemistry within the arc tube over the life of the lamp may also cause the

color temperature to shift as the lamp gets closer to the end of its rated life. To minimize color variation within an

installation, it is recommended that HID lamps be group relamped and run on equal operating cycles.

CRI (Color Rendering Index)

CRI is an international scale (numbering system) up to 100 indicating the relative color rendering quality of a light

source when compared to a standard reference light source of the same chromaticity (color temperature). The CRI

expresses the degree to which colors will appear under the light source selected. In general, the higher the CRI

number, the better the color rendering properties of the light source being measured.

Information regarding HID Lamps (cont.)

Bulb

Each bulb description consists of both a letter to indicate bulb shape and number to show the maximum bulb

diameter in 1/8 inch increments. Example: BT37 bulb indicates a blown shape with tubular top, 37/8 of an inch in

diameter. Various bulb shapes are noted below.

Lamp Base Information

• Medium (E26) – bases are used on

E17 bulbs and limited to 175w

maximum.

• Mogul (E39) – bases are used on

High Pressure Sodium, Metal

Halide, Pulse Start, and Mercury

Vapor lamps.

• Mogul (EX39) – exclusionary Mogul

bases are used on Metal Halide and

Pulse Start lamps, permitting them

to be use in open fixture

applications. These bases are

compatible with standard or

exclusionary sockets.

Self Ballasted Compact Fluorescent Lamps are an

efficient, money-saving alternative to incandescent

lighting. SBCF lamps provide maximum lighting that last

up to ten times longer than their incandescent

counterparts and use only about one-fourth of the energy,

allowing for a savings of about $12-$77 in energy cost.

Products offered are mini spiral, decorative, globe, A

• Wall sconces

• Retail

• Task Lighting

• Hotels

• Residential

• Surface ceiling fixtures
