H.I.D.’s

PREMIRA® 400 Watt Mogul Base Metal Halides & 400 Watt Pulse Start Metal Halides feature Improved Light Quality with our NEW LIGHT BOOSTER DESIGN providing Crisp White Light & Stable Color Output that’s up to 12% brighter!

[Available for Open and Enclosed Rated Fixtures]

With pyrex envelopes designed to resist thermal shock, and Ceramic-Coated Quartz Arc Tubes that minimize color shift and increase life and lumen maintenance, Maintenance Engineering’s premium quality 400w metal halide lamps are guaranteed to last 50 months.  Using Special fill gases that are a unique blend of Sodium, Scandium, Thorium Iodide, Mercury, and Argon, the precision blending also results in better lumen maintenance and minimal color shift. The Quartz arc tubes are manufactured to withstand the high pressures and temperatures of operation, and their ceramic ends are designed to control temperature. Helical electrodes and bi-metal starting switches optimize starting and extend lamp life. Nickel plated steel supports are mounted inside to resist shock and vibration which helps extend lamp life.   A Nickel/Brass base is used to create a positive electrical contact, while resisting corrosion and freezing in the socket. These  and other features make it easy to see why Maintenance Engineerings metal halide lamps are guaranteed for up to 50 months. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

GENERAL H.I.D. OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS

INSTALLATION

- Must match wattage and type [M(Metal Halides), S(High Pressure Sodiums), H(Mercury Vapor)].

- Not interchangeable between types unless identified as retrofits.

- UV exposure hazard if outer envelope is broken.  M.E. recommends immediate lamp replacement of broken or cracked lamps.

- Must match lamp burning position (base-up only) and fixture restrictions )open or enclosed).

TROUBLESHOOTING

- Requires 3-15 minutes cool-down to restart

- Frequent on/off switching will shorten lamp life.

- Xtreme ambient temperatures will shorten lamp life (below -20°F, above 100°F
