About Brightness and Light Appearance

Find the right lumen level to brighten your space. Then, compare the way warm, neutral, and cool lighting affect the appearance of everyday objects.

Metal Halide Light Bulbs


Blown-Tubular Bulb	Cone Bulb	Tubular Bulb

Replace the metal-halide light bulbs in your fixture.

Open Fixture—Bulbs for open fixtures have a strong outer shell to keep them from shattering if they fail.

EX39 Base Number—Bulbs with an EX39 base can also be used in E39 sockets.

Pulse Start Ballast—Pulse-start bulbs restart nearly twice as fast as probe-start bulbs.

Plastic-Coated Glass Bulb—Plastic-coated glass bulbs are shatter resistant. If the glass breaks, the coating keeps shards from falling.

Cannot Be Sold to Canada—Bulbs that cannot be sold to Canada exceed local regulatory limits on mercury content.

Light Ballasts for Metal Halide Light Bulbs

Replace ballasts for metal halide bulbs.

Probe Start Ballast—Probe-start ballasts are often found in older installations.

Pulse Start Ballast—Pulse-start ballasts turn on faster than probe start. Some include a starter, which increases bulb life.

Light Starters for Metal Halide Lights

Pair with pulse-start ballasts to ignite metal halide bulbs quickly. By delivering a high-voltage pulse, these starters reduce warm-up time and decrease electrode wear for longer bulb life compared to probe-start systems.
