High-intensity discharge lamp
ID: high-intensity-discharge-lamp
High-Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps are a type of electric light that generates light by creating an arc between two electrodes in a gas-filled chamber. The gas comprises various elements, which can vary depending on the specific type of HID lamp, and includes substances such as mercury, sodium, or metal halides. HID lamps typically emit a bright, intense light and are known for their efficiency and ability to produce a high lumen output relative to their power consumption.
