The Ultimate in High Color Rendering Light.

Many lamps claim to be similar to sunlight. These curves let you to see that SPECTRALITE  actually duplicates energy profile. In fact SPECTRALITE has more energy in the critical violet and blue portions of the Full Spectrum.

• SOLDERLESS PINS prolong lamp life by eliminating a common cause of failure.

• ALIGNMENT NOTCH insures proper installation for best performance.

• CATHODE GUARD keeps lamps burning brighter, longer by reducing "End Blackening."

• MERCURY CAPSULE has 43% less mercury than industry standard. (Not available in certain lamps) (Non-recyclable tubes)

• NEW TRI_PHOSPHOR BLEND provides desirable clear white light with superior color rendering. (Available with all Spectralites).

These lamps have filaments of tungsten wire heated to incandescence by passing electrical current through the filament.  Tungsten halogen lamps are filled an inert gas, to which a trace of halogen vapor has been added. Typically, tungsten halogen lamps have a longer life or greater lumen output than standard incandescent lamps. Incandescent lamps are available in both line and low voltage.  Incandescent line voltage PAR (Parabolic Aluminized Reflector) lamps use internal reflectors and different lenses to create a variety of light distribution patterns.

Low voltage (12 volt) lamps are available in a variety of styles.  Reflectored low voltage lamps such as the MR16 are available with beam distributions that range from tightly focused very narrow spots, to extremely wide floods.  Non-reflectored low voltage lamps are also available.  Low voltage lamps come in a variety of types, including bi-pin, D.C. bayonet base, screw terminal, and others.  Recently, new varieties of MR16 lamps have been introduced with improved lamp performance and greatly increased lamp life.  Typically, low voltage lamps require a transformer to reduce line voltage to low voltage.

High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps emit light from arcs operating in various gaseous elements.  One popular HID lamp type is Metal Halide, which features excellent energy efficiency.  It is also the most natural appearing of the HID sources, with new choices available that parallel the color temperature and Color Rendering Index (CRI) of tungsten halogen lamps.  These sources, the new MasterColor™ – type lamps, are ideal for illuminating the landscape and architecture.  An important advantage of Metal Halide lamps is their long life ratings, especially when compared to standard line voltage incandescent lamps.  Metal Halide lamps require a separate ballast to start and regulate the arc.  Users must match the ballast to the lamp type and wattage, and to the incoming line voltage.
