METAL HALIDE LAMP TOWER WITH LONG LAMP LIFE

Metal Halide Light Tower

A metal halide Light Tower is a type of portable lighting system that uses metal halide lamps to provide bright and powerful illumination. It is commonly used in construction sites, outdoor events, emergency situations, and other applications where temporary lighting is needed.

The metal halide lamps used in the light tower consist of a quartz arc tube filled with a mixture of metal halide salts, such as sodium iodide and scandium iodide. When an electric current is passed through the arc tube, the metal halides vaporize and produce a high-intensity light.

Metal halide light towers typically have a tall mast that can extend to a height of 20-30 feet or more. The mast is usually mounted on a trailer or a skid base for easy transportation and positioning. The light tower may also have a generator or be powered by an external power source.

The main advantages of metal halide light towers are their high light output, long lamp life, and wide coverage area. They can provide bright and even lighting over a large area, making them ideal for illuminating construction sites, outdoor events, and other temporary work areas. However, they also have some disadvantages, such as high energy consumption, slow warm-up time, and sensitivity to voltage fluctuations.

In recent years, Led Light Towers have become increasingly popular as they offer similar or better lighting performance with lower energy consumption and longer lamp life compared to metal halide light towers. However, metal halide light towers are still widely used in many industries and applications.
