Why Venture Lighting?I N T R O D U C T I O N I N F O R M A T I O N

Why Metal Halide?• Generate high light levels from a compact light source

• Unaffected by ambient temperature - lamps areequally suited for indoor and outdoor use

• Generate 65-115 lumens per watt

• Deliver more light with lower electrical powergenerating requirements resulting in less air pollution

Metal Halide: A Light AboveThe RestSpecifying Venture® product is easy when there is a broadrange of lamp and ballast types and wattages for almostany application indoor or outdoor. Metal halide lightingcan be used for industrial, commercial, retail andmunicipal spaces.

• MH vs. Incandescent: MH lamps last 20 times longerand have a lower operating cost over life

• MH vs. Mercury Vapor: MH lamps are more energyefficient. Mercury Vapor lamps produce less lumensper watt and have lower CRI than MH

• MH vs. HPS: MH lamps produce better light quality.HPS lamps deliver a strong yellow light with poor CRIof 20 - 25

• MH vs. Fluorescent: The size of fluorescent lamps makeit difficult to direct the light. One 100 watt MH lampproduces the same total light as three 32 watt T8fluorescent lamps, and is more optically efficient. MHlamps are not affected by temperature , whereas T8fluorescent lamps only perform optimally at atemperature of approximately 77°F (25°C), and havereduced performance outside of this temperature.

The Venture AdvantageA major advantage in metal halide lighting was theintroduction of Venture’s revolutionary Uni-Form pulsestart system. This second generation technology holds thefuture for metal halide. Uni-Form systems offer up to 50%more lumens per system watt than standard probe startmetal halide lamps and ballasts. Their capabilitiescontinue to improve. Recently, Venture became theonly manufacturer to offer Uni-Form lampsoptimized for horizontal operation in a compacttubular configuration. New developments willsoon bring improvements in lumen maintenanceand additional wattage options for specifiers.

Advancements inLamp TechnologyBoth pulse start and probe

start types of starting

mechanisms are available

for quartz metal halide

lamps. Probe start is the

traditional and most

common type of starting.

Pulse start lamps eliminate

the internal starting probe

and add an ignitor to the

ballast circuitry, which

improves performance. Pulse

start technology has

lengthened lifetimes of metal

halide lamps by up to 50

percent and yielded system

efficacy gains of greater

than 25 percent.

Longer LifeUni-Form® pulse start systems offer up to 50% longerlamp life, along with improved lumen maintenance. Thisdirectly benefits end-users by reducing lifetime operatingcosts. 50% of standard probe start metal halide lamps

survive at the end of their rated life, while 70% ofUni-Form lamps on magnetic ballasts and 80% of Uni-Form lamps on HF electronic ballasts stilloperate at the end of rated life (20,000 hours).

Color Uniformity• More consistent lamp to lamp color

• Better color while dimming with Uni-Formsystems - Stays white when dimmed, whileceramic metal halide turns green

• Ideal for daylight harvesting

Uni-Form systems are a more efficient lightsource, especially when operating on Venture’sVentronic™ HF electronic ballast. Compared tostandard probe start metal halide or many T5HOsystems, Uni-Form pulse start systems not only aremore efficient, they also have a longer life.

The Uni-Form® Advantage• Up to 50% longer lamp life - Fewer replacements for

the end-user

• Saves Energy - Up to 50% improvement in systemlumens per watt compared to standard probe startmetal halide technology

• Faster Warm-Up/Restrike - Up to 400% improvement- Less arc chamber quartz mass reduces thermallosses

• Better Color Uniformity - Smaller temperature gradientin the arc tube, along with uniform wall thickness andshape, combined with the optimized regulation of theOpti-Wave® and Ventronic™ ballasts, results inexcellent color uniformity

• Reliable starting in colder conditions, down to -40°C;exclusion of a starter electrode, bi-metal switch and resistor improves the reliability ofthe lamp

ProtectionOpen fixtures offer advantages over enclosed fixtures.Cover lenses reduce light output, accumulate dirt andmake it more difficult to replace lamps. For safetypurposes, open fixtures need open rated (ANSI Type-O)metal halide lamps. To reduce the risk of liability, lightingspecifiers need to be aware of the criteria for a true openrating and what the Type-S or Type-O designationsindicate about lamp construction.

NEC ComplianceIn 2005, the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA),publisher of the National Electrical Code (NEC), indicatedspecific guidelines for the manufacture and installation ofmetal halide fixtures.

NEC section 410.73(F)(5) states that “Luminaires(fixtures) that use a metal halide lamp other than a thick-glass parabolic reflector lamp (PAR) shall be providedwith a containment barrier that encloses the lamp, or shallbe provided with a physical means that only allows theuse of a lamp that is Type-O.”

Open fixtures need sockets that only accept Type-O lamps(pink mogul EX39 sockets) in order to prevent accidentaluse of Type-S or Type-E lamps.

Over 34 states have adopted the NEC guidelinesconcerning metal halide open fixtures. Venture lightingstrongly recommends that Type-S lamps be replaced onlywith Type-O lamps which fit in all existing lampholders.

We Build Lighting SystemsWith Safety in Mind!For 20 years, Venture has been leading the way byproducing metal halide lamps that contain protectiveshrouds. In the event of an arc tube rupture, the shroudhelps contain hot particles within the lamp outer jacket.Venture Lighting provides the industry's widest selectionof lamps that meet ANSI C78.389-2004 testingrequirements for a rating of Type-O. Venture is buildinglighting systems with safety in mind; your customers’safety and yours.

Horizontal Pulse StartI N T R O D U C T I O N I N F O R M A T I O N

Horizontal Pulse Start Operation: Horizontal +/- 75° (H75)What makes Venture’s Horizontal Pulse Start systems sounique? Very simply, Venture’s formed body arc tube.Venture understands the practical need to remove thePOM base and socket requirement from horizontallyoperating lamps. In order to allow this to happen, Venturefound a way to keep the electrodes at the center of the arctube at all times, so the install positioning has nowbecome irrelevant.

Benefits• Longer life compared to both universal and

HOR lamps in horizontal operation, and higherlumen output

• No POM socket required

• Variety of outer jacket shapes and sizes for full cut-off fixtures

Features• Thicker wall of the lamp arc tube

• Better distribution of the halides in the arc stream

LifeThe walls of the arc tube have been substantiallythickened with quartz material. This results in less heatingof the upper side of the arc tube, which in turn results inlonger overall lamp life.

LumensVenture has also modified the Uni-Form shape to offerbetter lumens. We have changed the chemistry of themetal halide arc tube to produce the lumens that equal thetypical V or BU versions of the lamp. This also hasresulted in greater mean lumens of this product line.

Venture has created a horizontal pulse start lamp line thatnow offers long life and high lumens based on a betterarc tube. This product line eliminates the problemsassociated with the POM base lamp and socket and isoffered in a variety of jacket sizes and wattages.

Energy SavingsI N T R O D U C T I O N I N F O R M A T I O N

Worldwide Energy SavingsVenture Lighting is leading the way in improving lightingenergy efficiency and reducing overall energyusage and costs throughout the world.Today, electronic pulse start metal halidelighting systems technology is the mostenergy efficient lighting available inthe world. Utilizing this highlyefficient technology can result inincredible benefits for the worldaround us, particularly in terms ofreturning our overall environmentto both a greener and cleanerworld for all to enjoy.

Replace half of the world’s inefficientHID lighting with Venture’s energyefficient electronic pulse start metal halidelighting technology, worldwide lighting electricalenergy consumption would be reduced by 4% by theyear 2010:

The world would save:• 152 Terawatt hours of energy usage annually

• 73,157,600 tons of coal annually

This is enough coal to fill a train circling the entire worldstarting at New York City.

The world could reduce:• 18 nuclear plants worldwide (average energy

consumption of 7.5 terawatt hours annually), or

• 37 coal burning plants worldwide (average energyconsumption of 4 terawatt hours annually)

• 313,120,000,000 lbs. of CO2 emissions annuallyworldwide

It would be like planting 38,819,054 acres of trees(15,527,226,445 trees) annually or saving1,556,540,862 cubic ft. of coal annually

Outdoor Lighting Worldwide, outdoor lighting is an area ideally suited for

the white light generated through pulse start metalhalide electronic lighting systems.

Fluorescent lighting is ineffective in mostoutdoor applications, and high

pressure sodium and mercury vaporsystems generate less effective“yellow” or undesirable light.

Approximately 8% of globallighting electricity use is inoutdoor street lighting, the vast

majority of which is High IntensityDischarge lighting. In 2004 this

amounted to about 247 terawatthours of electrical consumption, an

expected 305 terawatt hours in 2010 andover 480 terawatt hours in year 2030.

50% of the World’s Street LightingThe following energy savings would result by replacing50% of the world’s street lighting with highly efficientpulse start metal halide technology in 2010:

The world would save:• 76 Terawatt hours of energy annually

• 36,097,500 tons of coal annually

The world could reduce:• Annual CO2 emissions by 154,500,000,000 lbs.

• Equivalent to 9 nuclear power plants

• Equivalent to 18 coal burning plants

Results in: Saving 768,030,186 cubic ft. of coal annually- enough to cover 159 football fields 10 stories high!

Results in: Saving 7,869,246,954 gallons of gasolineworldwide annually

Replacing the world’s outdoor lighting withthe more energy efficient electronic pulsestart metal halide lighting systems can alsohelp to preserve, protect and save our world,and make it greener and cleaner for futuregenerations to enjoy.

electronic low watt pulse

start metal halide track

lighting system

Brighter with Less EnergyIn retail lighting applications good quality light can oftenmean the difference between effectively displaying yourproducts or leaving your customer unimpressed. Retailerstypically have a short time frame to capture the attentionof shoppers, and good lighting which emphasizes color,quality and uniqueness of products quickly can be animportant selling tool for them.

Venture Lighting’s new Performance Plus™ low wattageelectronic pulse start metal halide track lighting system isideal for displaying retail products in the best possiblelight. Venture’s 35 watt MR16 track lighting solution ishigh powered, accent lighting, requiring less energy, hasa longer life and better quality light than competitiveofferings. In a typical retail track lighting application,quartz halogen lamps shine a “yellowish” 2700K- 2800Klight while ceramic metal halide lamps shine anunexciting 3000K - 4000K light on retail products. As aresult, products are not displayed with the best possiblecolor rendering, and lighting fixtures are not typicallyenergy efficient. Performance Plus MR16 lamps, on theother hand, have a high color rendering of 90+ CRI and5000K color temperature, truly matching the color ofdaylight. Colors are truer under this light and products“sparkle” more, quickly grabbing the attention of yourcustomers.

Performance Plus lamps are also much more energyefficient than most other retail track lighting technologies.For example, just (1) Venture 35W MR16 lamp canprovide the same amount of light as (3) 50W MR halogenlamps, (1.5) 100W PAR 38 halogen lamp or (25) 3WLED MR16’s, and at the same time Venture provides youwith energy savings from 74% to 400%! In addition,Venture’s MR16 lamps can have over twice the life, at onethird the replacement costs of halogen lamps. Furtherbenefits include tight beam angle control, small size andmaximum light “punch”, ideal for retail applications.

Venture Lighting’s MR16 track lighting system is theperfect choice for displaying retail products in a betterlight. The retail shopping experience is enhanced, andcustomers will be more impressed in a shorter amount oftime with your product offerings.

Increased Light and EnergySavings “SuperMall of The Great Northwest”, located just east ofTacoma in Auburn, WA is an over one million square footshopping complex serving over 7,000,000 customersannually. Opened in 1995, SuperMall is just 1 of 24malls owned and operated by Glimcher Realty Trust,which is headquartered in Columbus, Ohio.

Glimcher Realty Trust malls are in the process of updatinglighting in all areas, and recently began this process withSuperMall of the Great Northwest. Paul Hensley,operations director of the mall, was looking for “moreuniform brighter light, with energy savings”. SuperMallturned to United Lamp Supply of Tacoma, WA. KarlWillard, Sales Manager for United Lamp, with more than20 years of lighting experience himself managed theproject from beginning to end.

Challenges and ResultsInitially, (240) 1000W standard probe start lamps andballasts were replaced by Venture’s energy efficient875W pulse start lamps and ballasts in the mall’s variousparking lots. The 875W systems saved 155 watts perfixture and footcandle readings were a full 37% higherthan with the previous standard probe start technology.Since the photometrics of the lamps were the same, theexisting parking lot poles and fixtures did not need to bechanged, significantly reducing installation costs.

In the food court areas of the mall, (91) 250W standardprobe start lamps and ballasts were replaced with thesame number of Venture’s 200W Uni-Form® pulse startsystems and (35) 400W probe start lamps and ballastswere replaced with the identical number of Venture’s320W Uni-Form pulse start systems. In the variousentrances of the mall, (32) 175W standard probe startlamps and ballasts were replaced with the same numberof Venture’s 150W Uni-Form pulse start lamps andballasts. Paul Hensley is happy to report that the initialintroduction to each mall entrance now plays a morepositive role in the overall shopping experience forSuperMall customers.

Saving from RebatesAs incentive for using this energy efficient technology,SuperMall received an energy rebate from the local utility,Puget Sound Energy. The mall received an up-frontrebate of $156,000.00, which enabled them to reducethe pay-back period in half.

Benefits:• Brighter, better quality lighting

• Energy Savings

• Energy utility rebates, reducing pay-back period

The Metal Halide InnovatorIn grocery stores, lighting can play a significant role inassisting shoppers in locating items on shelves and inhighlighting important features of those items. Attractivedisplays encourage customers to browse and buy, leavingthem satisfied and more likely to return. The grocerystore industry is extremely competitive, and any featuremore pleasing to a customer can mean the differencebetween success and failure during the shoppingexperience. Grocery stores with lights that are brightwith an appealing color are more likely to enticecustomers to shop at their location than at a store withlighting that creates a gloomy atmosphere.

Venture Lighting offers many metal halide wattagechoices for superior grocery store lighting, both at a4000K and a 5000K color temperature. A commonretrofit for standard probe start 400W metal halide lampsand ballasts for a grocery store application is Venture’s320 watt Uni-Form® systems with Opti-Wave® magneticballasts or Venture’s Ventronic™ HF electronic ballasts. Byutilizing this lamp and ballast system, grocery stores notonly benefit from improved and brighter light, but canachieve significant energy savings in the process, oftentimes 25% or greater overall savings!

Going GreenBuilding a new facility that is “Green” is great, but whatabout facilities built before energy conservation was acommon consideration? The University of MarylandCampus Recreation Services Department askedthemselves this very question. Many of the buildings thatmake up their College Park campus were built manyyears ago, and inherent in these early facility designs areenergy inefficiencies. They decided to begin looking athigh usage areas where lighting is on 24/7. Their goalwas to save energy without sacrificing light levels for theenjoyment and safety of their students, faculty and guests.The University’s Eppley Recreation Center was the firstbuilding under consideration and the gymnasium wasidentified as the first phase of the project. The challengealso included staying within a modest facilities budget.

The OldThe gymnasium was lit with (60) tandem 400W standardprobe start metal halide enclosed high bay fixtures, at amounting height of 35 feet (spacing of 25 foot centers).Photopic foot candle readings ranged from 42 to 58;scotopic readings ranged from 79 to 105. Energy drawper fixture was measured at 1.67Amps.

The NewThe fixtures were retrofitted with Venture Lighting’s 320WNatural White®, 90+ CRI, pulse start metal halide lampand 277V Opti-Wave® ballast system. The Universityliked the look of the 5000K light that augmented thenatural daylight from large windows along the perimeterof the gymnasium. Photopic foot candle readings rangedfrom 68 to 85; scotopic readings ranged from 135 to 186.

Venture Product: Uni-Form®

pulse start 320W system

with Ventronic™ HF electronic

ballast, e-Lamp® lamp and

dimming controls

Controlling SustainabilityA leading manufacturer of superior commercial roofingsolutions was looking to improve the lighting in its150,000 sq. ft. Bristol, CT warehouse. Specifically, it waslooking to achieve significant energy savings, providebrighter and “whiter” light throughout the facility, andhave the capability of dimming lights in areas of thewarehouse that were often unoccupied for significantamounts of time.

The lighting system this manufacturer was looking toreplace in the warehouse consisted of (420) fixtures of400 watt high pressure sodium lamps, which typicallycast a “yellowish” and unattractive light, and which makerendering colors extremely difficult. Another problemwith the existing system was the enormous energy usageit consumed, over 1,000,000 kWh of energy annually.

The manufacturer turned to Venture Lighting to improve itslighting in the Bristol warehouse. They previously lookedat the possibility of utilizing linear fluorescent lamps butdecided to utilize Venture metal halide technology forseveral reasons. Linear fluorescent technology isadversely affected by temperature changes, a particularconcern in an unconditioned space such as the Bristol

warehouse, whereas metal halide technology isunaffected by temperature changes. The linearfluorescent fixtures would require more maintenance dueto a greater number of fixtures and lamps per fixture.

A Greener Lighting SolutionThe solution specified was (200) fixtures of Venture’s 320watt e-Lamp® pulse start lamps on Ventronic™ HFelectronic ballasts. Venture’s e-Lamp lamps (4K productsonly) are Uni-Form® pulse start lamps specificallydesigned for dimming on electronic ballasts down to 35%lamp power.

The light produced was a “white” light rather than theyellowish light from the previous HPS lamps. Because ofthe Ventronic ballast, and motion sensors on each fixture,the lamps were able to dim down to 35% lamp power.The energy savings realized through the combination ofdimming, reduction in wattage (from 400W to 320W) aswell as the huge reduction in fixtures (from 420 to 200)resulted in an annual savings of 650,000 kWh of energyat full brightness. Through dimming, an estimatedadditional 260,000 kWh would be saved annually.

Reduced maintenance costs was another benefit, as fewerlamp replacements were required due to the superiortechnology of pulse start. Even more beneficial was thesecuring of a Connecticut Light & Power utility rebatewhich paid for a full 50% of the material and install costof the retrofit. The warehouse was able to achieve alllighting goals as well as reduce maintenance costs andbenefit from a huge utility rebate. The success of thisproject has turned into a national specification ofVenture’s dimmable e-Lamp and Ventronic system.

pulse start systems

Improving Worker SafetyA 1.3 million square foot steel mill located near Gary,Indiana was aware of the importance to the ecology ofthe surrounding countryside, and works continuously toimprove its operations to become more environmentallyfriendly. In November of 2006, they looked intoreplacing hundreds of their older and energy inefficientstandard probe start metal halide, mercury vapor andhigh pressure sodium lamps with a more energy efficientlighting technology, hoping to significantly reduce energyusage and improve safety and the productivity of theworkers.

They were utilizing (1190) 1000 watt standard probestart metal halide, (340) 1000 watt mercury vapor and(170) 400 watt high pressure sodium high bay lights.Choosing Venture Lighting’s superior 875 watt pulse startsystem, they were able to reduce the fixture count by44%, resulting in a 50% energy savings. In various partsof the mill, entire rows of lamps could now be eliminateddue to the exceptional light output of the Venture Lighting®

lamps! Overall, (952) 875 watt pulse start metal halidesystems replaced the original (1700) systems. They wereable to reduce the total number of lamps, ballasts andfixtures resulting in a reduction of inventory and lightingmaintenance costs.

Making a Positive DifferenceWorker attitudes also improved noticeably once the newlamps and fixtures were installed. Management receivedseveral “thank you’s” from its workers, and the commentwas made more than once that they often felt as if it was“daylight at midnight” in the mill during their eveningshifts. In addition, complaints of the previous light hurtingworkers eyes was eliminated. This was a problem duenot only to the lower light output of the previous lightingtechnology, but also because of the tendency for theselamps to regularly burn out. Thanks to the improvedlighting, the mill experienced one of its safest years intheir over 40 year history!

The plant’s operations manager was extremely pleasedwith the changes resulting from utilizing this new lightingtechnology as he noted, “the Venture lights resulted indoubling the light output with nearly half the number oflamps”. The electrical maintenance manager hasfurthered this green initiative by utilizing remote lightingcontrols to turn various lamps on and off as needed inspecific areas of the mill. This significantly reducesenergy usage in these sections of the mill, and allows lightto be utilized only as needed.

Keeping It CoolAs one of the largest refrigeration companies in theUnited States, Preferred Freezer Services, Inc. maintains99 million cubic feet of freezer space at a frigidtemperature of -10° to -25° Fahrenheit. This is the perfecttemperature for warehousing frozen seafood; nearly 75percent of domestic consumption passes through one ofPreferred Freezer’s 26 warehouses.

A typical Preferred Freezer warehouse had been lit using(320) fixtures of 400 watt HPS. Light levels measuredbelow 4 footcandles in the aisles (7 ft wide, 175 ft long,60 ft high) which proved insufficient for optimal employeeproductivity during the daily 12-15 hours of operation.Preferred Freezer contacted Liberty Lighting, Venture’srepresentative in New Jersey, about a lighting upgrade.

ObjectivesPreferred Freezer investigated lighting options that wouldachieve the following objectives:

• Switch to more desirable white light

• Dependable lighting, given the demandingenvironment of extreme low temperatures

• Increased light levels for optimal employeeproductivity

• Energy savings through efficient lighting technology

• Flexibility of dimming controls

SolutionVenture’s 350 watt Uni-Form® pulse start system wasselected as the solution for use in Hubbell Highbayscontrolled with LightBAT™ motion sensors, one per fixture,programmed for high-low light levels. This systemdelivers significant energy savings of 65 watts per fixtureas compared to the HPS system. Additional energysavings is obtained by keeping fixtures at 50%illumination when an aisle has no activity and the motionsensors trigger the lamps to full brightness when activityis detected. About 90% of the time, fixtures are in lowmode. Additionally, the number of fixtures was reducedto 275 (from 320) while light levels at full illuminationmore than doubled to 9 footcandles (from 4 footcandles).Pulse start metal halide lumen output and dependablestriking is unaffected by the cold temperatures, unlike FLT8 and T5HO. Fluorescent’s performance is dramaticallydecreased in cold environments.

Additional SavingsJohn Galiher, President and CEO of Preferred Freezer,expects the lighting project to yield a return on investmentin 1.2 to 1.5 years. The lighting upgrade satisfies all ofthe stated objectives and additional savings weregenerated because of reduced cooling demand; lowerlamp wattage translates to less radiated heat. The new350W pulse start system generates 724 million fewerBTUs annually per warehouse. Due to the heat savings,the refrigeration system doesn’t need to work as hard to

Such facilities aretypically open 24/7, and incorporate high traffic truckingareas interacting closely with significant pedestriantraffic. For worker safety and reduced risk of damage toshipped goods, quality bright light is crucial. Freightcarriers are also often looking to achieve energy savingsin their lighting systems.

In 2008, one large freight carrier turned to VentureLighting to provide better lighting technology, energysavings and improved overall safety in several of its U.S.freight terminals. Venture manufactures advanced pulsestart metal halide lamps and ballasts which provideenergy efficient and bright white light for various lightingapplications. At 2 locations, 1000 watt high pressuresodium systems were replaced with Venture’s 875 wattpulse start technology. Not only do the pulse start lampsprovide a much brighter “whiter” light than the typical“yellowish” light of high pressure sodium lamps, but eachsystem reduces wattage usage by 175 watts!

Spreading the Wealth of LightAt one of these locations (137) 1000 watt high pressuresodium lamps and ballasts with 1100 system wattsoperated in inefficient horizontal flood fixtures. Theywere replaced with (76) 875 watt pulse start lamps andballasts with 925 system watts, operating in verticallymounted high performance area light fixtures. Thereduction in lamp and ballast quantities resulted in anannual wattage reduction from 150,700 watts to just70,300 watts, a reduction in energy usage of over 50%!Lighting uniformity improved throughout the facility withthis technology. Previously with HPS, only 10% of thedock area had a minimum of 2.0 footcandles; now, withVenture’s 875 watt pulse start system, 90% of the samearea meets or exceeds 2.0 footcandles. 80% of thestaging area now achieves a minimum of 1.0 footcandlescompared to the less than 60% previously with HPS.Similar results in energy efficiency, light output anduniformity were also achieved at other freight locationsretrofitted by Venture.

providing energy savings (up to 155 watts per luminaire),long life (20,000+ hours) and increased light output (115LPW) over the life of the system.

The key to Venture’s Uni-Form pulse start system is itsexclusive formed body arc tube. This uniquely shaped arctube results in improved lamp-to-lamp color consistency,higher lamp efficacy and faster warm-up than standardprobe start metal halide lamps. The decision to switch tothis technology was made even easier when the localpower company, Xcel Energy, offered the airport asubstantial rebate for retrofitting with Venture’s newtechnology. Venture’s energy saving 125 and 150 wattUni-Form pulse start metal halide lamps were the lampsof choice to retrofit the current system.

Venture Brightens AirportFutureThe six month project involved the installation of morethan 4,000 lamps and ballasts in the parking garagestructure. Airport management was ecstatic with the resultof the retrofit: “We doubled our light levels!” said BobLitke, Electrical/General Foreman for the MetropolitanAirports Commission,“ and with the substantial energy-savings, we should begin seeing a return on ourinvestment in only one year.”

Improved Light Output andReduced Energy ConsumptionIn Murfreesboro, TN, located 40 miles south of Nashville,Innsbrooke Plaza is a 150,000 square foot shoppingcomplex with a Kroger Company store serving as itsanchor location. In early 2008, Inland ContinentalProperty Management, the developer of InnsbrookePlaza, was looking to improve the overall lighting outputin the parking areas of the mall. The existing lightingconsisted of (6) lighting poles 39’ in height, each of whichheld (4) 1000W high pressure sodium lamps in verticalsemi-cutoff luminaires. High pressure sodium lamps casta yellowish light, making it difficult for shoppers to seewell at night, and provide very poor color rendering,making the identification of one’s automobile in the lotdifficult as well.

To improve the lighting situation at Innsbrooke, Inlandturned to WLS, a leading retail development industrylighting equipment manufacturer located in Fort Worth,TX. Dean Pritchard, President of WLS, and his teamrecommended replacing the existing fixtures and lampswith FVR series sharp cutoff luminaires and takingadvantage of new Natural White® pulse start metal halidelamp technology from Venture Lighting International,located in Cleveland, Ohio. WLS’s goal was to improvelighting levels and quality at Innsbrooke, reduce lightingenergy consumption and maintenance.

Bringing Daylight to NightVenture recommended a one-for-one replacement of thehigh pressure sodium lamps with their unique 775 wattNatural White lamps. Natural White lamps providewhiter and brighter light due to superior color rendering;a color temperature of 5000K essentially matching thecolor of natural sunlight. By switching to this much lowerwattage option, Innsbrooke was able to achieve anincredible reduction of 255 watts per fixture, resulting in23% less energy consumption, and the superior “white”light output of the 775 watt lamps increased footcandlesin the parking lot by 60%!

Inland and Innsbrooke Plaza are extremely pleased withits new “whiter” Natural White pulse start lamps andballasts. Not only were all initial goals of improved lightlevels, reduced energy consumption and improvedlighting maintenance met and surpassed, Innsbrooke isnow benefiting from an annual energy savings of$4,000! Combining the retail development expertise ofWLS with Venture Lighting International’s superiorNatural White lighting technology was a win-win for bothInland and Innsbrooke. More importantly, Innsbrooke’scustomers are reaping the benefits of this lightingretrofitting success!

Job: Mexico City, Mexico

Venture Product: 200W and

320W Horizontal pulse start

systems

The Metal Halide InnovatorMexico City, with its more than 20 million residents, wasin search of street lighting, which would provide bettervisibility at night. With a preponderance of high pressuresodium lamps used, HPS may have long life, but theirdistinctive “yellow” glow reduces overall visibility duringthe night, creating public safety and security issues, amajor concern of one municipality.

In the summer of 2005 the Mexico City municipalityutilized 36,000 of Venture’s 200 watt Uni-Form®

Horizontal pulse start lamps for street lights. About 60%of these lamps were used to retrofit existing HPS lamps,while the remaining lamps were for entirely newinstallations. “It’s a great investment not only in the city’sbeauty but in its public security. The new lightingtechnology has changed the city’s panorama completely”,stated Antonio Gershensen, Public Lighting Director ofMexico City.

Studies have shown that metal halide lighting, whichutilizes more visible “white” light, can have a visibilityeffectiveness of up to six times that of HPS when used at

night. Gershensen further noted: “This kind of lamp gives30% more light than that the old yellow ones (HPS), theyhave longer life and they represent an importantdevelopment in color fidelity. The lamps not only lastlonger but also give more brightness and clearness.”Mario Bonilla Ramirez, Coacalco County Under Directorof Public Services also notes that these lamps haveresulted in “a diminishing of 25% in the small felonies inthe streets.”

Per Jim McPhillips, independent agent for VentureLighting International, the success in Mexico City has“resulted in the largest metal halide project in all of LatinAmerica!” And Reforma, the most important dailynewspaper in Mexico, identified this municipality as “thebest public lighting system in the entire metropolitan areaof Mexico City.”

Human Eye SensitivityThe sensitivity of the human eye to different colors of lightat various light levels determines the true, or effective,lumen output of a lamp. The eye responds to colordepending upon the amount of light available.

Lumens are the standard measure of light output, but lightis actually defined as energy evaluated by the eye.Conventional lumen measurements define the light outputresponse of a person only during high light levels (calledphotopic light), typical of daylight and interior lighting.The light meter measures photopic light as seen by thecentral region of the eye.

When light levels are very low, like starlight, the viewingconditions are referred to as “scotopic.” Under theseconditions, the eye’s visual response changesdramatically. Sensitivity to yellow and red light is greatlyreduced, while response to blue light is vastly increased.If lamp lumens under scotopic viewing conditions havebeen determined using photopic measuring devices, thelumen value does not accurately measure the true amountof light as perceived by the human eye.

What Are Scotopic Lumens?Nighttime ObservationsPublished lumen ratings are based on the “photopic”lumen (“P”), or light measurement based on daytimeobservations. Lumen measurements, corrected fornighttime vision, are known as “scotopic” lumens (“S”).The ratio of light measured by the 2 methods is called the“S/P ratio”. The S/P ratio for white-blue (5000Kdaylight) light sources is 2.1. At 4000K the ratio is 1.65,and for HPS lamps the ratio is 0.64. As a result, 4000Klight sources are at least twice as effective for viewing atnight compared to HPS sources at the same photopicluminance. 5000K light sources are at least three timesas effective.

Daytime ObservationsLamps with high scotopic content and high S/P ratios,such as Venture’s Natural White® lamps, also improve theability to see indoors. Human studies have shown that theS/P values, though previously applicable to onlynighttime conditions, can be used to describe the“effective lumens” of indoor lighting as well. For example,if two identical objects in 2 different rooms are lightedseparately with 4000K and 5000K lamps to equalphotopic luminance, the 5000K room will appear 21%brighter (2.1/1.65)0.78.

Performance is EverythingFor lighting applications, performance is everything. It isimportant that lighting fixtures provide top performancein terms of heat management, optics and appearance.The lamp and ballast are expected to provide uniform,bright light as well as great lumen maintenance and longlife.

There are several types of burn positions posted by allmanufacturers. First, there is the Universal or “U”. Thereis the Vertical or “V” and the Base Up or ”BU”. Lastly, wehave the Horizontal or “HOR”. Most horizontal lightingapplications sacrifice light and life with standard choicesin lamps.

Horizontal +/- 75° (H75)What makes Venture’s Horizontal Pulse Start systems sounique? Very simply, Venture’s formed body arc tube.Venture understands the practical need to remove thePOM base and socket requirement from horizontallyoperating lamps. In order to allow this to happen, Venturefound a way to keep the electrodes at the center of the arctube at all times, so the install positioning has nowbecome irrelevant.

Benefits• Longer life compared to both universal and

HOR lamps in horizontal operation, and higherlumen output

• No POM socket required

• Variety of outer jacket shapes and sizes for full cut-off fixtures

Features• Thicker wall of the lamp arc tube

• Better distribution of the halides in the arc stream

LifeThe walls of the arc tube have been substantiallythickened with quartz material. This results in less heatingof the upper side of the arc tube, which in turn results inlonger overall lamp life.

LumensVenture has also modified the Uni-Form shape to offerbetter lumens. We have changed the chemistry of themetal halide arc tube to produce the lumens that equal thetypical V or BU versions of the lamp. This also hasresulted in greater mean lumens of this product line.

Venture has created a horizontal pulse start lamp line thatnow offers long life and high lumens based on a betterarc tube. This product line eliminates the problemsassociated with the POM base lamp and socket and isoffered in a variety of jacket sizes and wattages.

Application TargetsVenture’s H75 series is targeted at the mid-rangewattages as well as the enclosed fixture. H75 series lampsare perfect for parking garages, car dealerships, sitelighting, wall washes, gas station canopies, area lightingand parking lot lighting.

Change Just The Lamp!Retrofit for SafetyFor applications where safety is an issue, Venture Lightingoffers open-rated Energy Master® MPI (probe start)lamps, which meet 2005 NEC® (National Electric Code)requirements. The arc tube is enclosed within a quartzshroud to prevent the outer glass jacket from breaking inthe event of an arc tube rupture, passing ANSIcontainment tests. Lamp types are intended primarily foropen-rated fixtures and provide an added measure ofsafety in enclosed fixtures.

Retrofit Benefits:• No need to change luminaires or ballasts

• Save on energy consumption

• Safe alternative - Range of open-rated lampsavailable in 150 and 360 watt standard probestart metal halide lamps

• Clear and coated outer jacket options available

• Watch your energy savings grow with Energy Master!

• Indoor or outdoor, Energy Master lamps are perfectfor energy savings in any application

Energy SavingsA Simple Lamp Change Does It!Save Up to 40 watts per Fixture! Venture Lighting‘sEnergy Master line of retrofit products saves energy byoperating at lower wattages.

See an immediate reduction in energy costs of up to 40watts per fixture or a full 10% with virtually the same lightoutput. For example, at a cost of $0.12/KWH, theenergy savings over the rated life of the 360 watt EnergyMaster lamp (rated at 20,000 hours) is $64 per fixture.

Calculation: .040 KW/hr x $.12 x 20,000 hrs = $96.00

SimpleChange Just the Lamp!Considering an update of your lighting system? Explorethe advantages of the Energy Master line - just replaceyour lamp. That’s it! The high cost of a whole newlighting system or the labor cost of re-wiring or installingnew wiring is not needed with Energy Master energysaving retrofit lamps. Use existing luminaires andballasts.

IntroductionVenture Lighting makes both lamps and ballasts. Thecompany supports industry standards; however, Ventureunderstands their limitations. Venture optimizes its lampsand ballasts for peak system performance that goes beyondthe standards. This is reflected in Venture’s warranty policywhen Venture lamps and ballasts are used together. Thistechnical reference provides information on VentureLighting’s lamps and ballasts.

Consensus standards among lamp and ballastmanufacturers assure compatibility of various lightingcomponents. In North America, ANSI codes are used.Internationally, IEC codes are used. These codes assure thatlamps and components from different manufacturers worktogether. They describe lamp dimensions as well as thermaland electrical requirements

CharacteristicsThe unique characteristics of metal halide lightingprovide high performance such as:

Long Life Metal halide lamps have an average life of 15,000-20,000++ hours, more than ten times that ofincandescent lamps.

Better Light QualityThe output of metal halide lamps is closer to naturalsunlight than most other light sources. People preferwhite light because of better visual acuity, even at lowerlight levels.

Excellent Color RenderingMetal halide lamps offer excellent color rendering, with a65-90+ CRI (color rendering index).

Compact Size Metal halide lamps generate high light levels from acompact light source. This allows for smaller, morecontrollable luminaires.

Versatility Metal halide lamps are unaffected by ambienttemperature and are equally suited for indoor or outdooruse. Extensive style and wattage options allow for manyapplications.

High Efficiency Metal halide lamps generate 65-115 lumens per watt,more than incandescent, fluorescent or mercury vaporlamps. (see chart at left)

Positive Environmental Impact Since metal halide lamps deliver light more efficientlythan incandescent, widespread acceptance of thetechnology has a positive effect on air quality and theenvironmental waste stream. Lower electrical powergenerating requirements means less air pollution.Efficient long-life systems mean less landfill waste.

Technology Goes Head-to-HeadMH vs. IncandescentA 100 watt pulse start metal halide lamp provides fivetimes the lumen output of a 100 watt incandescent lamp,and will last 20 times longer. Although incandescent hasa low initial lamp cost, metal halide has a lower totaloperating cost over the life of the lamp.

MH vs. Mercury VaporMercury vapor lamps have long life, but are not asenergy efficient as metal halide, producing only 35-58lumens per watt. Their limited blue-green light spectrumhas a lower CRI than metal halide.

MH vs. HPSWhile HPS lamps offer long life, they do not deliver thesame light quality as metal halide. Because of theirdominant sodium content, HPS lamps yield strong yellowlight (2200K) and have a very poor CRI of 20-25. Thefull spectrum light of metal halide lamps has a muchhigher CRI.

MH vs. FluorescentFluorescent lamps are difficult to direct because of theirlarger size. One 100 watt pulse start metal halide lampproduces the same light as three 48” high output T8fluorescent lamps. Metal halide lamps also tolerate awider operating temperature range. Fluorescent lampsare often limited to temperature-controlled indoorapplications: T8 fluorescent lamps perform optimally atapproximately 77°F (25°C), degrading measurably astemperature varies. T5 lamps perform similarly, but peakat 95°F (35°C).

Wider Range of ApplicationsSpecifiers can now select from a broad variety of lamptypes and wattages to suit almost any application. Metalhalide lighting is used today indoors and out, forindustrial, commercial, retail and municipal spaces.Popular for sports facilities, and site lighting, it isincreasingly found in supermarkets, big box retail, officesand lobbies.

Uni-Form® Pulse Start LampTechnologyUni-Form lamps provide superior performance comparedto standard probe start metal halide lamps. The specificbenefits are higher efficacy, better color uniformity, fasterwarm-up, improved lumen maintenance and longer life.It all takes place in Venture’s revolutionary formed-bodyarc tube.

One key to superior lamp performance is heatmanagement. In probe start arc tubes, uneven heatingprevents optimum arc enhancement. Venture created anexclusive, tipless formed-body arc tube, sculpted to followthe actual curve of the arc stream. The shape creates amore uniform temperature profile. Higher temperaturesdraw more halides into the stream, resulting in more lightgenerated. Venture’s unique sculpting process also moldseach arc tube for improved color uniformity.

System SolutionsVenture’s pulse start system technology, actualized in Uni-Form lamps and Opti-Wave® ballasts, representsadvancement as important as the invention of the metalhalide lamp. Every change in arc tube design, lampconstruction and the ballast enhances overall systemperformance. This metal halide focus allows us to offer avast array of integrated packages, providing optimumlighting efficacy and quality for virtually any application.

High Performance DesignFormed-Body Arc TubeThe shape of Venture’s formed-body quartz arc tubefollows the actual curve of the arc stream, preventinguneven temperatures in the arc tubesurface. This significantly improvesthermal performance and allowsmore halides to be pulled into thearc, thus emitting more light.

Reduced Pinch SealsThe large pinch fins on standardprobe start metal halide arc tubesradiate heat. By reducing thequartz mass in the arc tube,Venture’s formed body arc tubeshelp in producing a more uniformthermal profile which results in greaterlamp efficacy.

Tipless Arc TubeThe exhaust tip on probe start arc tubescreates a cold spot which degrades arctube performance. Venture’s exclusivetipless design ensures a totally uniform arctube shape, improving efficacy and coloruniformity.

High Voltage Pulse IgnitionHigh voltage pulse starting eliminates the starterelectrode, bi-metal switch and resistor of standard probestart lamps. It also provides quicker breakdown of gases,so starting (cold and hot) is faster.

Higher Fill PressureVenture’s formed-body design and pulse ignition supporta higher fill gas level that helps to reduce wall blackeningcaused by tungsten sputtering from the electrodes duringstarting.

Weldless Arc Tube MountVenture’s nearly unbreakable, patented weldlessconstruction is stronger than standard welded mounts.

Opti-Wave® BallastsThe lower current crest factor in the electrical output ofVenture’s Opti-Wave ballasts improves lamp lumenmaintenance. Ballast energy losses are reduced by asmuch as 50% compared to standard probe start CWAballasts, and ballast noise levels are significantlyreduced.

Opti-Wave® Ballast For ImprovedPerformanceVenture’s Opti-Wave family sets the Gold Standard inballast performance with an optimized current waveform. To maximize your pulse start metal halide system,specify Opti-Wave multi-tap or power saving Opti-Wave277V ballasts.

Bottom Line: More Light forLess EnergyUni-Form® pulse start technologyexceeds expectations.More light for less energy makes Uni-Form the mostlogical lighting choice for designers and corporateenergy managers seeking to drastically cut power bills.Compared to standard probe start metal halide, Venture’srevolutionary system offers up to 50% improvement insystem mean lumens per watt. In practical applications,the higher efficiency can translate into a savings of morethan 100 watts per luminaire! And that savings isachieved while still producing the same, or more, highquality light.102


Lamp Technical InformationT E C H N I C A L I N F O R M A T I O N

Light OutputAt specific hours of lamp life, the lumen output valuescan be measured and plotted. This lumen maintenance(or lumen depreciation) curve contains important data forlighting designers.

Though initial lumen ratings at 100 hours are frequentlythe basis for comparing light sources; mean lumens,

determined at 40% of rated lamp life, are the mostimportant. Mean lumen ratings are based upon lampoperation at 10 hours per start (except where noted).Lamp lumens are measured on a reference ballast in thedesigned operating position at the rated lamp wattage.

Lumen maintenance curves representthe lamp manufacturer’s estimate ofthe best lamp lumen output plottedover time. Typically, each group oflamps tested will display a range orscatter of lumen maintenance valuesat each interval measured. Therefore,individual lamps may vary frompublished mean lumen ratings.

Many factors affect the performanceof metal halide lamps over time. Mostof these factors (see table at left) are controllable in thedesign of the lighting system. Incorporating as many ofthe optimized conditions as possible will deliver the bestperformance from any given metal halide lighting system.More light-reducing conditions present in the design ofthe lighting system create a gap between published“optimized” ratings and actual lighting systemperformance - the greater the light reducing conditions,the greater the gap.

For example, Venture’s Uni-Form®

lamps, operated on an a low currentcrest factor Opti-Wave® ballast withother optimized conditions, can beexpected to deliver mean lumensapproaching 80%. In contrast, astandard probe start metal halidesystem operating under light-reducingconditions may deliver only 50%lumen maintenance. Venture Lightingpublishes “optimized mean lumens.”

Even within the Uni-Form system, you can expect a rangeof lumen maintenance from 70% to 80%. (see chart atright) Performance will vary depending on the number oflight-reducing conditions present. By selecting a Uni-Form lamp, a low current crest factor Opti-Waveballast, and optimizing the system conditions, significantimprovements in lighting system performance can beachieved.

ColorThe “color” of light sources is comprised of a complicatedrelationship derived from a number of differentmeasurements, including correlated color temperature(CCT), color rendering index (CRI), and spectraldistribution. In general, color is most accuratelydescribed by a combination of CCT and CRI.

Correlated Color Temperature (CCT)The first factor in choosing a lamp color is the correlatedcolor temperature. For example, if a retailer wantslighting to blend in with warm halogen accent lamps,they may choose a Venture® MP 100W/C/U/3K, whichhas a correlated color temperature of 3200K. CCT isdefined as the absolute temperature (expressed inkelvins) of a theoretical black body whose chromaticitymost nearly resembles that of the light source. The CCTrating is an indication of how “warm” or “cool” the lightsource appears. For higher numbers, the lamp colorappears cooler. For lower numbers, the lamp color appearswarmer.

Spectral Energy DistributionWhen we look at a light source, the eye “perceives” asingle color. In reality, we are seeing literally thousands ofcolors and hues made up of a combination of differentwavelengths of light. These different combinations, andthe relative intensity of various wavelengths of light, areused to determine the CCT and CRI of a light source.

Different ColorsVenture Lighting offers lamps in many colors to suitvirtually any lighting application. Outlined below are thevarious color temperatures (CCT) currently available:

27K 2700K - Used as a replacement for very warmincandescent lamps (coated only)

3K 3000K-3200K - Used as a general warm, whitelight source, available in clear or coated finish forretail or interior applications; blends with halogenlamps

4K 3700K-4000K - Used as a neutral white lightsource, available in clear or coated finish forgeneral lighting, factories, parking lots, warehouses

5K 5000K - A moderately high CCT daylight sourceused in general and retail lighting applications

6K 6500K - A high CCT daylight source used tosimulate average outdoor light conditions

10K 10,000K - A very high CCT, daylight light source,used in horticulture and aquarium applications

Color Rendering Index (CRI or Ra)In general, CRI is a numeric indication of a lamp’s abilityto render individual colors accurately relative to astandard. The CRI value is derived by comparing thecolors of 8 different color objects as they appear using atest light source and a reference light source.

High CRI vs. High CCTHigh CRI does not necessarily equal high CCT, andshould not be the only deciding factor in light sourceselection since light sources with high CRI do not alwaysrender colors satisfactorily. For example, whencomparing a light source with low CRI at a highilluminance level with another light source that has highCRI but at a low illuminance level, the respective value ofCRI means very little in terms of accurately identifyingcolors. In many instances, the personal preference of theconsumer is even more important than the specific CRIlevel.

By definition, a standard 2700K incandescent bulb has aCRI of 100 even though its light output is predominantlyyellow. This is because the incandescent lamp is utilizedas the reference standard for determining the CRI of mostlight sources. However, for lamps with colortemperatures of at least 5000K, the reference standard isdaylight. For example Venture’s Natural White® pulsestart metal halide lamps are 5000K and have CRI ofgreater than 90 even though it looks much whiter thanthe incandescent lamp.

Color Shift and VariationDifferent colors are produced in metal halide lamps byusing various arc tube shapes and metal halide salts. Innew lamps, these halides need to “burn-in” forapproximately 100 hours before they reach theiroptimum color. This is why new lamps can sometimes beunstable or vary in color.

As metal halide lamps age, chemical changes occurcausing shifts in color. Generally, standard probe startlamps shift approximately twice as much in CCT over lifeas do Uni-Form® pulse start lamps.

Why Color Uniformity:• Create a better atmosphere for customers and

employees! - Whiter, brighter light makes people feelsafer, more relaxed and more productive

• See colors better! - Consistent color helps improvecolor rendering

• Lights of the same color appear to be better maintained

Lighting Design for Low Light LevelsStudies on nighttime visibility demonstrate experimentallythat the sensitivity of the human eye to different colors oflight at various light levels determines the true, oreffective, lumen output of a lamp. Recent research showsthat the color output of the light source has a significanteffect on nighttime visibility, which is important becauseroad accidents occur mostly at night. Also, it is wellknown that the eye responds to color depending upon theamount of light available.

Photopic, Scotopic and Mesopic ConditionsLumens are the standard measure of light output, but lightis actually defined as energy evaluated by the eye.Standard lumen measurements define the light outputresponse of a person only during high light levels (calledphotopic light), typical of daylight and interior lighting.The light meter measures photopic light as seen by thecentral region of the eye.

When light levels are very low, like starlight, the viewingconditions are referred to as “scotopic.” Under theseconditions, the eye’s visual response changesdramatically. Sensitivity to yellow and red light is greatlyreduced, while response to blue light is vastly increased.If lamp lumens under scotopic viewing conditions havebeen determined using photopic measuring devices, thelumen value does not accurately measure the true amountof light production as perceived by the human eye.

The eye response does not shift suddenly from high lightlevels to low light levels. A gradual change occurs as lightlevels are reduced in twilight and typical street lightingconditions. This is the “mesopic” condition in which theeye’s response lies somewhere between photopic andscotopic.

Rods And ConesThe change in the eye’s spectral response is due to thepresence of two types of light receivers in the retina,called rods and cones. Rods are responsible for humanvision at low light levels and are located in the peripheralfield of view. Conversely, only objects viewed directly bythe eye are seen by the cones. Rods are sensitive toscotopic light (nighttime); cones react to photopic light(daylight). Therefore, as the light level is reduced, conesbecome less active and rods become more active.

Rods:• Responsible for human vision at low light levels

• Located in the peripheral field of view

• Sensitive to scotopic (nighttime) light

• Become more active as light levels are reduced

Cones:• Responsible for human vision at high light levels

• Located in the direct field of view

• React to photopic (daytime) light

• Become less active as light levels are reduced

What Are Scotopic Lumens?Nighttime ObservationsPublished lumen ratings are based on the “photopic”lumen (“P”), or light measurement based on daytimeobservations. Lumen measurements, corrected fornighttime vision, are known as “scotopic” lumens (“S”).The ratio of light measured by the 2 methods is called the“S/P ratio”. The S/P ratio for white-blue (5000Kdaylight) light sources is 2.1. At 4000K the ratio is 1.65,and for HPS lamps the ratio is 0.64. As a result, 4000Klight sources are at least twice as effective for viewing atnight compared to HPS sources at the same photopicluminance. 5000K light sources are at least three timesas effective.

Daytime ObservationsLamps with high scotopic content and high S/P ratios,such as Venture’s Natural White® lamps, also improve theability to see indoors. Human studies have shown that theS/P values, though previously applicable to onlynighttime conditions, can be used to describe the“effective lumens” of indoor lighting as well. Forexample, if two identical objects in 2 different rooms arelighted separately with 4000K and 5000K lamps toequal photopic luminance, the 5000K room will appear21% brighter (2.1/1.65)0.78.

Eye Color Sensitivity And LumensThe value of a lamp’s lumen output is different whenconsidering the shifting color sensitivity of the eye at lowlight levels. The effective lumens will be different from the

measured photopic lumens. As lightdiminishes from photopic to scotopicconditions, the effective lumens of yellowHPS light sources are reduced and theeffective lumens of white light withblue/green content increase.

This effect is dramatic for low pressuresodium (LPS) lamps. Almost all energy outputfrom this lighting system is yellow, resulting inhigh photopic lumen output. At low lightlevels, the effectiveness of LPS lamps isdrastically reduced.

Metal Halide Lamps For Low LightLevelsA typical metal halide lamp has strong light output in theblue, green and yellow areas, resulting in high lumenoutput at all light levels. The blue light output of metalhalide is in the high sensitivity region of the eye for lowlight levels. This means that the effective lumens actuallyincrease for a metal halide lamp as the light level reducesand the eye shifts to a blue/green peak sensitivity.

The ability to detect fine contrast is also significantlybetter under metal halide sources than sodium. In streetlighting, driver reaction time under LPS and HPS lightingis roughly 50% longer than for metal halide. Therefore,the color output of a light source has an importantinfluence on safety. Studies have shown that metal halidelighting, in some circumstances, can be up to six times aseffective as HPS. This can make a difference in peripheralviewing and in dark areas where hidden hazards may bepresent.

Proper Use of Metal Halide LampsCorrect Operation and Warnings ForHigh Intensity Discharge Lamps:High intensity discharge (HID) lamps require auxiliaryequipment (ballasts, capacitors, ignitors, power supplies)to provide the correct electrical values for starting andoperating. This auxiliary equipment must meet allelectrical specifications outlined by the AmericanNational Standards Institute (ANSI). Venture LightingInternational will not be responsible for poorperformance, personal injury, property damage, burnsor fire from lamps operating on unapproved auxiliaryequipment or from lamps being operated in a mannerinconsistent with their design.

Power should always be turned off and preferably lockedout in accordance with OSHA guidelines wheneverinstallation, removal or maintenance is performed onlighting systems. Safety glasses and gloves should beused when installing or removing HID lamps. Lampsshould be installed firmly into appropriate lamp sockets,without over tightening, to avoid loosening fromvibration.

HID lamps and arc tubes operate at extremely hightemperatures and may shatter as a result ofmisapplication, system failure or other factors. Scratcheson the outer bulb, direct contact with water, or excessiveinstallation pressure can also cause the lamps to break.Breakage may release extremely hot glass and lampparts into the surrounding environment and raise the riskof fire, personal injury or property damage. Injury mayalso be caused by ultraviolet energy from an unjacketedHID lamp. If the outer jacket should break, immediatelyturn the power off. Do not remove a lamp until it hascompletely cooled; then replace it with a new Venture®

lamp. In areas susceptible to contamination by flyingglass, where flammable materials are present, or wherethere is a possibility of personal injury, users should seekadditional protective measures by using open fixture(Type-O) lamps and enclosed luminaires.

Luminaire Requirements andOperating PositionsIt is imperative that users adhere to specified luminaireand lamp operating positions and requirements. Theoperation of lamps in positions other than those specifiedcan result in severe reductions in lamp performance,including lamp life, light output and color. Incorrectoperating positions can also create the possibility of anearly failure.

Refer to each lamp’s technical data specification sheet todetermine correct operating position and luminairerequirements. Also, refer to the diagrams to the right onthis page to determine allowable operating positions.

Federal Compliance - Metal HalideVenture® lamps comply with USA Federal Standard 21CFR 1040.30 and Canada Standard SOR/80-381. TheFDA requires the following safety warning statement forall metal halide lamps:

“WARNING: This lamp can cause serious skin burn andeye inflammation from shortwave ultraviolet radiation ifouter envelope of the lamp is broken or punctured andthe arc tube continues to operate. Do not use wherepeople will remain for more than a few minutes unlessadequate shielding or other safety precautions are used.Lamps that will automatically extinguish when the outerenvelope is broken or punctured are commerciallyavailable.”

Careful adherence to the previous mentioned precautionsmay not eliminate all possible risks associated with theuse of metal halide lamps, but it will reduce the likelihoodof personal injury or property damage.

End-of-Life and Reduction of RiskAt end-of-life, the vast majority of metal halide lamps willsimply fail by not reigniting. On rare occasions, metalhalide lamps may fail in a violent manner. The possibilityof this failure is significantly reduced by group relampingat or before the rated end of life, (see Group Relamping).In any application where enclosed rated (Type-E) lampsare operated continuously (24 hrs/day, sevendays/week), the lamps should always be turned off for aperiod of at least 15 minutes once a week, a precautionthat can reduce the possibility of violent failures. Thisprocedure is not required when Venture’s open rated(ANSI Type-O), shrouded lamps are used. These lampsare easily identified by the prefix “MP”, “MPSE” or “MPI”in the lamp description code.

Starting and RestartingCharacteristicsProbe start metal halide lamps will start at an ambienttemperature of -30°C (-22°F) or higher. Full light outputdoes not occur immediately when power is applied toany metal halide lamp; there is a time delay of at leastthree to six minutes after starting before lamps reach fulllight output.

After lamps have started, a power interruption of 1/4cycle (1/240th of a second) or more may cause thelamps to extinguish. Several minutes are required beforean arc can be re-established by the ballast and full lightoutput achieved.

The exact time is dependent on a number of factorsincluding lamp wattage, ballast and ignitorcharacteristics, ambient temperature, fixture dimensionsand supply voltage. The time needed to establish full lightoutput can be as short as 3 minutes and as long as 15 to20 minutes. In general, pulse start technologydramatically decreases the time for hot restart.

Venture’s exclusive Uni-Form formed body arc tubeprovides warm-up and hot restrike in up to 60% less timethan probe start lamps (standard probe start metalhalide) and allows better starting, even in temperaturesdown to -40°C (-40°F).

Lamp LifeLamp life is an important consideration when purchasinga new, retrofit or replacement lamp. Two very differentand distinct terms describe life: “rated life” and“economic life.”

Rated LifeRated life for metal halide lamps is a value of lamp lifeexpectancy based on laboratory and field tests ofrepresentative lamps, operating on approved ballasts,with a burn cycle of at least 10 hours per start. The lamplife is determined when:

• 50% of standard probe start metal halide lampsinitially installed are still operating

• 70% of 320-875 watt Uni-Form® pulse start lampsinitially installed are still operating

• 80% of Uni-Form® pulse start lamps operating onVentronic™ ballasts initially installed are still operating

Mortality Curves

Various operating conditions affect lamp life. One keyfactor is operating position. Position-oriented lamps(designed to operate in one specific position) are testedand rated based on that designated position; operatingthese lamps in any other position can dramaticallyshorten life, reduce lumen output and cause color shift.Lamps designated universal can be operated in anyposition, however, life expectancy and lumen output aresacrificed in certain positions; published “rated life” foruniversal lamps is based on operation in the verticalposition, “rated life” for universal lamps operatedhorizontally is 75% of the published rating.

Shorter operating cycles reduce life. At operating cyclesshorter than 10 hours per start, life will shorten as follows:

• 5 hrs/start: Life is 75% of rating

• 2.5 hrs/start: Life is 55% of rating

• 1.25 hrs/start: Life is 40% of rating

Other factors, alone or in combination, that can alsoreduce lamp life include:

• High or low line voltages

• Marginally-operating control devices (ballasts,capacitors, ignitors, dimming systems, etc.)

• Frequent line power interruptions

Economic LifeEconomic life refers to the hours of operation duringwhich a lamp is designed to provide optimum light outputand color quality as well as lowest replacement cost.Economic life describes actual lamp life better than ratedlife because rated life does not account for the lumendepreciation and color shift that occur as lamps age. Theeconomic life of lamps is generally 60% to 75% of thelamp rated life. Though economic life is important whenconsidering a lighting system, lamp data tables showrated life because they provide a comparison with otherlamp manufacturers’ ratings.

Group RelampingEffective Lighting ManagementGroup relamping offers significant savings in time andlabor costs over spot replacing failed lamps. Regularlyscheduled maintenance based on economic lamp lifekeeps a lighting system functioning at its maximum.

This provides:

1) Optimum Light Output: Light levels are at their peak when a lighting installation isnew. Most standard probe start metal halide lampsdecrease to 40% of initial light output by the end of ratedlife. A number of factors may accelerate this reduction inefficacy (lumens per watt). Group relamping at economiclife keeps the light levels from dropping significantly; it alsoprovides an opportunity to remove luminaire dirtaccumulation. Cleaning during group relamping savestime and helps maintain optimum light levels. A cleaner,well-lit environment increases safety and security, cancontribute to higher worker productivity and creates abetter impression for visitors.

2) Aesthetic Quality: The quality of light changes over economic life, shifting200K to 350K in color. Most of this shift occurs in the last25% of rated life. This causes old lamps to appear blue orpink, especially when compared to new lamps. All thelamps in an area will generally change color together;however, lamps that are spot-replaced will look noticeablydifferent than those around them.

3) Optimum Energy Efficiency: While the light output of standard probe start metal halidelamps decreases over life, they will still consume the same(or sometimes more) electricity. Since energy is the largestcost of lighting, group relamping prevents almost half ofthe energy from being wasted by under-performing lamps.For example, a 400 watt standard probe start metal halidelamp may consume $800 of electricity over its rated life.After 60% of rated life, about $320 is wasted on lampsproviding less than mean lumens. Spot relamping wastesenergy dollars; the cost of a new lamp and the labor toinstall it as part of group relamping is generally less than5% of the total energy cost.

4) Cost Effective Replacement: Group relamping, as a planned maintenance program,reduces downtime and labor costs. Spot relamping oftentakes an employee away from regular duties just to replacea burned out lamp. This inconvenience grows as lampfailures increase towards the end of rated life. Grouprelamping eliminates workday disruptions, allowingscheduling during normal shutdown periods. Grouprelamping at economic life is a practical way to sustainworkers’ visual acuity with a bright workplaceenvironment. It also offers the opportunity to replace olderlighting with energy saving, more efficient lighting such asVenture’s Uni-Form pulse start systems.

Open Rated LampsOpen fixtures offer significant advantages over enclosedfixtures. They do not require cover lenses which reducelight output and accumulate dirt. Enclosed fixtures makelamp replacements more difficult. For safety, openfixtures need open rated (ANSI Type-O) metal halidelamps.

To reduce the risk of liability, lighting specifiers need to beaware of the criteria for a true open rating and what theType-S or Type-O designations indicate about lampconstruction.

ANSI Lamp DesignationsThe American National Standards Institute (ANSI)currently classifies metal halide lamps with three possibleratings: Type-O, Type-S, and Type-E.

Type-O open fixture rated lamps characteristics:

1. Shroud around the arc tube, which helps preventdamage to the outer bulb in the event of an arc tuberupture

2. Open fixture ratedbase, such as an EX39mogul base or narrowneck bulb with amedium base

3. Pass the ANSI C78.389lamp containment test,where arc tubes areforcibly ruptured andmust be containedwithin the outer jacket.

All MP, MPSE and MPIlamps produced byVenture Lighting meet the requirements to be rated Type-O, and can be used with confidence.

Type-S lamps do not include internal protectionagainst failure. These lamps are not permitted in openfixtures according to the 2005 NEC. Previously they hadbeen permitted whenoperated and installed instrict adherence tomanufacturers and NEMAguidelines1.

Type-E lamps are ratedonly for use in enclosedfixtures.

The Insurance Industry An insurance industry report published in March 1998,warned against the use of lamps with an “S” designationbecause they pose a risk of fire and injury. Lamps withthe “S” designation do not have containment shrouds.

The insurance industry now recommends that all metalhalide lamps manufactured for open fixtures incorporateshrouded arc tubes with the Type-O rating. One majorinsurer also recommends using Type-O lamps in enclosedfixtures with plastic lenses2.

NEC ComplianceIn 2005, the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA),publisher of the National Electrical Code (NEC),indicated specific guidelines for the manufacture andinstallation of metal halide fixtures.

NEC section 410.73(F)(5) states that “Luminaires(fixtures) that use a metal halide lamp other than a thick-glass parabolic reflector lamp (PAR) shall be providedwith a containment barrier that encloses the lamp, orshall be provided with a physical means that only allowsthe use of a lamp that is Type-O.”

Ballast IntroductionVenture Lighting focuses not only on metal halide lamps,but also on metal halide ballasts. We apply the samelevel of passion for quality and performance to Ventureballasts as we do to Venture lamps. To assurecompatibility, refer to our specification sheets todetermine which ballast works with each lamp type.

The information below introduces ballast function,terminology and proper usage.

Why are ballasts needed?For many users, ballasts are a mystery. Electricaldistribution systems deliver fixed AC voltage (50 or 60Hz). Users expect connected electrical loads to limit thecurrent drawn from the source. Low pressure and highpressure arc discharge lamps exhibit “negativeimpedance.” Without a ballast, the arc will extinguish ordraw increasing current until some circuit element burnsup. Ballasts provide system stability by limiting the currentthat can be drawn. Magnetic ballasts use inductive andcapacitive components because they impede alternatingcurrent with little power consumption. Resistivecomponents generate high losses and are usuallyavoided. This is true of conventional electromagneticballasts as well as electronic ballasts.

HID ballasts perform the followingfunctions:• Provide voltage to break down the gas between the

electrodes of arc lamps and initiate starting

• Provide voltage and current to heat the electrodes toallow a low voltage/high current arc mode to develop(referred to as glow-to-arc transition, GAT)

• Provide enough current to heat and evaporate the lightemitting components after an arc has been established;provide enough sustaining voltage (see Vss) tomaintain the arc during warm-up and operation

• Set lamp current once all the evaporable materialshave reached thermal equilibrium

Breakdown vs. Glow-to-ArcTransition (GAT)Standard probe start metal halide lamps, and high-pressure mercury vapor (HPMV) lamps utilize anauxiliary electrode in the arc tube to facilitate starting.These arc tubes are filled with a relatively low pressure ofargon gas. Breakdown occurs when several hundredvolts are applied. The lower the fill pressure, the lower thebreakdown voltage, and as a result, less electrodeheating occurs in the subsequent glow mode. Withoutenough electrode heat, the arc mode will not develop.There is a trade-off of breakdown voltage and GAT withfill pressure for these lamps. For most mercury vaporlamps, sinusoidal output voltages around 220 Vrmssuffice; for most metal halide lamps, highly peaked(distorted) output voltages around 300 Vrms suffice.Failing to attain a GAT will destroy lamp electrodes inless than 100 hours.

Uni-Form® pulse start metal halide and high pressuresodium (HPS) lamps dispense with the auxiliaryelectrode, but have breakdown voltage requirements inthe range of several thousand volts. An “ignitor” is

added, which provides a narrow (µsec wide) pulse nearthe peak of the output voltage waveform; some lampsrequire more than one pulse per half cycle. The minimumoutput voltage requirement (min. OCV) assures that aGAT will occur. At room temperature, mercury interactswith argon to reduce breakdown voltage. In cold weatheror refrigerated spaces, the breakdown voltagerequirement goes up. Standard probe start metal halideand mercury vapor ballasts have to supply a fairly highoutput voltage for low temperature starting. Pulse startmetal halide and HPS ignitors are sufficient to start lampsdown to -40°C (-40°F).

Warm-upUnlike low pressure lamps, HID lamps have a low initialarc voltage following GAT, and warm up over severalminutes to final operating voltage. In HPMV lamps, thisinvolves the evaporation of a fixed amount of mercury. Instandard probe start metal halide and Uni-Form pulsestart lamps, a fixed amount of mercury and some of themetal halide salts evaporate.

For most HPS lamps, this involves the partial evaporationof mercury and sodium as the lamp reaches thermalequilibrium. Standard probe start and pulse start metalhalide lamps have sustaining voltage requirements afterGAT to assure the lamp will continue to operate. HPSlamps have a lamp power vs. lamp voltage space (seegraph under ‘High pressure sodium lamp “trapezoids”’)that has been defined to assure stable warm-up andoperation.

OperationThe ballast determines the lamp current in normaloperation by providing electrical impedance. Thecombination of lamp current and voltage determines thepower consumed by the lamp. The lamp power, in turn,determines light output and color. For example, if a 320watt lamp is accidentally operated on a 350 watt ballast,the lamp will run over-wattage at 350 watts because thenominal lamp voltage is the same for both lamps and theballast delivers the higher 350 watt current. Color will bewarmer, light output will be higher and lamp life will beshorter.

In stable operation, lamp power varies with supplyvoltage and lamp voltage. Electronic ballasts can bedesigned to minimize both sources of power variation.On reactor and HX ballasts, lamp power varies about 2%for each 1% of line variation. On CWA and CWI ballasts,lamp power varies about 1% for1% of line variation. TheseCW-type ballasts amplify lampvoltage variations intopower variationswhile reactor and HXballasts minimize thesame.

Ballast HistoryMost of the world uses “lag” type ballasts for the operationof high intensity discharge (HID) lamps. Another commonname for the simplest type of lag ballast is “reactor”. Theseballasts are constructed from steel laminations and wirecoils. The term “lag” derives from the inductive nature of theballast; the input current lags the input voltage by up to 90electrical degrees. Several input taps may be provided toaccommodate the different line voltages. Reactor ballastsprovide outstanding lamp performance, with excellentefficiency, at the lowest possible cost, but only operate at asingle input voltage.

Lag ballasts that can accommodate a wide range of inputvoltages are made using an autotransformer stage in frontof an inductive element. These use two coils and arereferred to as HX or high leakage reactanceautotransformers. The losses and material content arehigher resulting in higher operating and initial costscompared to single voltage reactor ballasts. The lampperformance benefits are retained.

The CWA, or constant wattage autotransformer ballast,became popular in North America for mercury vaporlamps after World War II. The primary application wasroadway lighting. The circuit delivered relatively constantlamp current, which, in turn, translated to relatively constantlamp power, as long as lamp voltage does not vary duringlife. This was a good assumption for mercury vapor lamps.It allowed utilities to start a roadway circuit with as much as+13% input voltage at the beginning of a string of lights andallow for sag to -13% at the end of the string. The resultinglamp power variation was an acceptable ±15%. A small“peaking” capacitor across the lamp terminals providedenough voltage to start lamps outdoors with modest OCV.The strategy had little to do with temporal variations in linevoltage, but rather addressed the economics of lightingcircuits along long stretches of road.

When HPS lamps were introduced, they were incompatiblewith CWA ballasts because they required a high startingvoltage. The constant current characteristic of CWA ballastsled to unstable lamp operation. Lag (HX and reactor)ballasts with electronic ignitors became the preferred circuittypes. Later, CWA circuits were developed for HPS lampsthat departed from the constant current characteristic andincorporated ignitors.

Metal halide lamps were introduced in the 1960’s. Theyrequired a higher peak starting voltage than mercuryvapor lamps, but were incompatible with “peakingcapacitors.” The lamps would start and promptly “dropout.” By adding saturable elements to the magnetic circuitof the ballast, the OCV could be “peaked” to start thelamps. Standard probe start metal halide lamps and“peaked lead” ballasts launched metal halide lighting inNorth America. Internationally, the same lamps operatedon reactor ballasts by adding simple low cost ignitors.Multiple input voltage taps for CWA ballasts were readilyaccommodated. More CWA ballasts could be operatedon a circuit than reactor or HX ballasts of the samewattage. However, the current wave shape left littlemargin for input voltage fluctuations during starting.These ballasts had poor energy efficiency and providedpoor regulation of lamp power with respect to lampvoltage. Evidence suggests that maintained lumens ofmost metal halide lamps operated on CWA ballasts areworse than those operated on lag circuits.

Ballast TypesVenture makes a full line of high performance ballasts formetal halide and high-pressure sodium lamps. Venture’sOpti-Wave® family of ballasts is designed especially forUni-Form pulse start metal halide lamps.

Opti-Wave BallastsThe Opti-Wave family of ballasts includes single voltagereactor and multi-tap HX circuit designs and incorporatesignitors. They are carefully matched to Uni-Form pulsestart lamps toprovide peak lampperformance. Singlevoltage designs offerthe most overallvalue to the end user.Multi-tap designsoffer flexibility and lower inventories for distributors,OEMs, and contractors. Venture offers a full line of multi-tap CWA ballasts for Uni-Form pulse start lamps whereCWA ballasts have been specified.

Opti-Wave 277VThese are optimized lag/reactor ballasts. The fluxdensity, losses and power factor capacitors are chosenfor good circuit loading andmodest lamp power variation withrespect to lamp voltage variation.These ballasts provide moreconsistent color from lamp-to-lamp than constant currentdesigns. The circuit loading(250W – 875W) is similar to that of CWA ballasts,providing better value and performance without the needfor higher capacity circuits.

High Reactance Autotransformer(HX-HPF)These are two coil ballasts, consisting of a primarywinding that provides the voltage transformation forOCV requirements, coupled with a secondary coil forlimiting current.The ballast usesmore material andhas higher lossesthan its lag/reactorcounterpart. Inreturn, it offers

multi-tap capability to serve a wide variety ofapplications. A capacitor is typically connected to thehighest voltage tap to increase input power factor. Lampperformance is excellent.

Opti-Wave® Multi-tapOur Opti-Wave multi-tap ballasts are HX circuits thathave the same lamp power regulation characteristic as277V Opti-Wave ballasts. These are multiple tap (two,three and four) HX autotransformers with all of thecommon US input voltages. The flux density, losses andpower factor capacitor are chosen for good circuitloading.

They yield modest lamp power variations with respect tolamp voltage variations. As a result, these ballastsprovide more consistent lamp-to-lamp color than CWAballasts. Opti-Wave multi-tap ballasts can be used in awider range of applications than 277V Opti-Waveballasts, while providing the same performance benefits.Circuit loading is similar to comparable CWA ballasts.

Constant Wattage Autotransformer(CWA)Present day CWA ballasts for metal halide lamps havechanged very little from early designs dating back to the1960’s. Versions with ignitors to operate pulse start lampsare available, along with a wide range of wattages.CWA ballasts have a large installed base in the US, butlow wattage metal halide lamp performance with CWAballasts has proven to be poor. Most ballasts sold forlamps of 150 watts or lower are reactor or HX types.

CWA ballasts have two coils. One acts as anautotransformer with multiple input taps, and a secondprovides inductance that in series witha capacitor controls lamp current.For standard probe start designs,the capacitor usually connectsbetween the lamp and thesecondary coil of the ballast. Inpulse start designs, the capacitor usually connectsbetween the primary and secondary coils. A tap near thelamp output on the secondary coil is connected to theignitor circuit.

“Constant Wattage” is actually a misnomer. The circuitprovides constant current to the lamp. This is undesirablefor lamp loads that do not provide constant voltage. HPSlamps are unstable when they are operated at constantcurrent. CWA circuits have been modified for HPS lamps,but use more materials and result in higher losses. This isalso an issue for metal halide lamps that rise in voltage

with aging. Theresult is lamp-to-lamp powervariation that showsup as lamp-to-lampcolor variation. Aslong as demand forCWA ballasts continues, Venture will provide them withthe best technology available.

Constant Wattage IsolatedTransformer (CWI)CWI ballasts share thesame features as theCWA versions, but haveelectrically isolatedsecondary coils to meetthe Canadian ElectricalCode. These ballasts useslightly more materialthan CWA types, making them less energy efficient andmore costly.

Magnetically Regulated Ballasts(a.k.a. Regulated Lag)Magnetically regulated ballasts use three coils andsaturable magnetic elements to provide a high degree ofpower regulation to the lamp. From the perspective of thelamp, operation is the same as on a lag ballast with awell-regulated input voltage. These typically have twicethe material content of comparable CWA ballasts andhigher losses. They are primarily used in heavy industrialsettings where switching of large electrical loads impactslighting circuits (for example, a downlight hanging froma crane in a steel mill). Venture currently does not offerthese because demand is small.

Electronic BallastsFluorescent lighting uses electronic ballasts for essentiallyall new commercial lighting in the US, largely because ofenergy legislation. Fluorescent lamps generate morelumens per watt when operated at high frequency andhave no compatibility issues. HID lamps on electronicballasts have had issues of acoustic resonances thatdisturb lamp operation. These issues have been resolved.Electronic HID ballasts operatelamps either above acousticresonance (HF sine wave ballastsused mostly for mid-wattage HID), orbelow acoustic resonance (lowfrequency square wave ballasts usedfor low wattage HID lamps). Theadoption of electronic HID ballasts has been slow, yet isgrowing.

The most mature metal halide electronic ballasts operatelow wattage (150 watts and lower) metal halide lamps.Designers have opted for low frequency circuits that drivelow wattage lamps with square wave current. The smallsize and light weight of low watt electronic ballasts fitretail track lighting applications very well. High wattagelamps have lower resonant frequencies, so ballastdesigns that operate lamps in the 100 KHz range andabove work quite well. These ballasts have low losses,

Ventronic™ BallastsVenture has the Ventronic HF electronic line ofballasts. Venture continues to investigate a number

of exciting performance phenomena. Lampsoperating on electronic ballasts (HF, DC, or square

wave) provide higher maintained lumens over life. This isa rapidly evolving topic. Look to Venture’s website fornew developments.

North American Ballast TypesBallasts that Venture sells in North America include thefollowing versions:

• Quad-tap: 120V, 208V, 240V and 277V

• Tri-tap: 120V, 277V and 347V (Canada)

• 480V/120T: A 480V ballast with a 120V tap forstandby quartz lighting.

• 600V (Canada)

• Reactor and HX ballasts rated for supply voltagevariations of ±5%.

• CWA and magnetically regulated circuits rated forsupply voltage variations of ±10%.

• Ventronic™ HF electronic ballasts.

Ballast PerformanceThe following performance factors affect ballastspecifications:

Current Crest Factor (CCF)The current crest factor is the ratio of the peak lampcurrent to the root-mean-square (RMS) value of thecurrent. High current crest factors are associated withpoor lumen depreciation of HID lamps. A typical range ofcurrent crest factors for reactor, HX and regulated lagballasts is 1.4-1.5. For CWA ballasts CCF ranges from1.6 to 1.8. Electronic ballasts can be as low as 1.0.

Open Circuit Voltage (OCV)The voltage across the output terminals of a ballast withno load connected is the OCV. Lamp OCV requirementsdiffer for the various ballast circuit types.

Sustaining Voltage (Vss)Vss is the instantaneous voltage across the lamp whenlamp current crosses zero. If the voltage is not sufficient,the lamp will not ignite on the next half cycle of currentand drop out. Adequate Vss is needed from every ballasttype, but is particularly important for CWA ballasts.However, Vss is difficult to measure without sophisticatedlab equipment. ANSI standard values are determined forthe condition. ANSI does not specify Vss for lag or HXcircuits.

AC Line RegulationLine regulation is the percentage change in lamp wattageper percentage change of supply voltage.

In the US, Canada and most of Europe, supply voltage isreliable with only occasional brownouts or blackouts.Where supply voltages are steady, reactor or HX ballastsprovide the best performance at a cost comparable to, orlower than, CWA ballasts. When there is a serious linevoltage regulation issue such as industrial applicationswith large electrical load switching, regulated lag orelectronic ballasts are preferred. Lag (reactor) ballastsdominate HID lighting in Europe, where supply voltage isregulated to ±5%. In North America, lighting circuitswired according to the National Electric Code typicallystay within the ±5%.

Lamp RegulationBy definition, lamp voltage regulation is the change inlamp wattage divided by the corresponding change inlamp voltage initially and during life.

The ANSI lamp voltage range allowed for a new (100-hour) lamp is typically ±12%. Modern lampmanufacturing processes typically yield metal halidelamps with a much tighter voltage range. However, metalhalide lamps typically rise between 1 and 2 V per 1000hours. At end of life, the metal halide lamp voltage canbe more than 25% higher than at 100 hours. Withmodern AC power lines regulated to within 5%, it is moreimportant to have tight regulation of lamp power, withrespect to lamp voltage variation, than supply voltageregulation. This results in the least lamp-to-lamp colorand brightness variations.

The operating characteristics of any ballast can bemapped in a graph of lamp wattage vs. lamp voltage.For reactor and HX ballasts, the graph is a parabolawhere the peak wattage typically occurs when the lampvoltage is about 60% of the OCV. The curve stops whenthe lamp voltage reaches about 80% of the OCV. At thispoint, the lamp stops operating. The graph for most CWAor constant current ballasts is a relatively straight line.HPS lamps need operating characteristics similar toresistive and reactor ballasts; a constant currentcharacteristic causes the lamp to become unstable.

High Pressure Sodium Lamp“Trapezoids”The HPS trapezoid is bounded by upper and lowerwattage limits. At the low watt limit, lumens are low; atthe high watt limit, life is short. The left side of thetrapezoid represents the lowest voltage lamp a user couldencounter. The right side represents the highest voltagelamp a user should expect to see. The sides of thetrapezoid slope because increasing power increases thevoltage of HPS lamps. Acceptable ballasts chart a paththat passes through both sides within the minimum andmaximum wattage limits. The three ballast curves in thegraph below illustrate the effect of low, nominal, andhigh line voltage.

Minimum Ambient Temperature forStartingANSI and IEC lamp specifications range from -30°C (-22°F) to -40°C (-40°F). As temperatures drop below -40°C, the mercury in the lamp freezes.

Ballast NoiseMagnetic ballasts generate audible noise as a result ofmagnetically induced mechanical stresses. This may beamplified or attenuated depending on fixture design,mounting methods and room acoustics. There arepresently no noise standards for HID ballasts. Opti-Wave®

ballasts are noticeably quieter (by greater than 10 dB)than CWA, CWI or regulated lag ballasts.

Lamp StartingPulse start metal halide ballasts provide the propercombination of open circuit voltage and high voltagepulses to start the lamp. The pulse is provided by aspecially designed ignitor, or starter, that is used inconjunction with the ballast. As soon as the ignitor sensesthat the lamp has started, it discontinues the pulsingoperation. After starting the lamp, the ballast sustainingvoltage must be sufficient to maintain lamp operation. Apositive feature of this system is that the lamp will hotrestart in 3-4 minutes following a power interruption.Standard probe start metal halide ballasts can take aslong as 10-15 minutes to restart the lamp.

The ballast open circuit voltage alone starts standardprobe start metal halide and mercury vapor lamps.Auxiliary electrodes, or probes, aid these lamps instarting. The probe electrode is disconnected after thelamp has warmed up. Most of these lamps operate onCWA ballasts that offer a more “peaked” open circuitvoltage, to assist lamp starting.

High Pressure Sodium lamps start in a manner similar topulse start metal halide lamps. The main difference is aslightly less demanding ignitor pulse requirement.

CapacitorsWith Reactor and HX ballasts, capacitors are needed toimprove (input) power factor. As a result, the number oflamps that can be operated on a circuit nearly doubles.In large installations, power factor correction is alsorequired to avoid power quality problems and utilitypenalties. Capacitors are integral components of CWAand regulated lag circuits; they will not operate withoutthem. Both oil-filled (wet) and dry-film (dry) capacitortechnologies are commonly used with ballasts. A meansto discharge capacitors after power is turned off is asafety requirement.

Oil-filled capacitorsOil-filled capacitors come in metalcases and are filled with adielectric fluid. They are rated upto 100°C, although 90°C is themost common rating. They usuallyhave two 1/4” spade terminal lugslocated on the top for connection with the ballast. Mostballasts come with the mating terminals already attachedto the appropriate leads. Oil-filled capacitors are veryreliable and available in ratings up to 525V. For somehigher wattage HID ballasts, they are the only choice.

Dry-film capacitorsDry-film capacitors do not use adielectric fluid. Originally, thesecapacitors were limited toapplications where voltages didnot exceed 330V; recentadvances have pushed this to400V. They are available in temperature ratings of100°C and have become an attractive alternative to oil-filled capacitors. They are packaged in plastic housingswhich do not need to be grounded and do not need anyspecial clearances above the terminals.

IgnitorsHID lamp ignitors providea brief, high voltagepulse or pulse train tobreak down the gasbetween the electrodes of an arc tube. Pulses can rangefrom several hundred volts to 5KV or higher. Typicaldurations are in the µsec range. They are usually timed tocoincide with the peak of OCV. If they are timed too earlyor too late, lamps may not start reliably.

There are three basic ignitor circuits in wide use. Thesimplest is a capacitor in series with a voltage sensitiveswitch that connects across the output of a reactor ballastand is known as the “Parallel” ignitor. It is usedinternationally to start standard probe start metal halidelamps on 220-230V 50 Hz mercury vapor ballasts. Itgenerates 600V pulses and has the virtue of simplicityand low cost.

The second ignitor circuit consists of a capacitor chargingcircuit and a voltage sensitive switch. It connects to a tapon the output inductive element of the ballast and uses itas a high frequency pulse transformer. This circuit workswith lag, HX, CWA, or regulated lag circuits. It is the mostcommon type of ignitor used in North America and isgrowing in popularity internationally. It has the virtue ofsimplicity and low cost. It requires the ballast insulationsystem to withstand the pulse voltage; because it is tied tothe ballast, the distance the lamp can be mounted fromthe ballast depends on pulse attenuation. Circuits thatgenerate wide pulses permit greater distance. Thesecircuits are generically referred to as “Impulsers.”

The third ignitor circuit is similar to the first except that itcontains a pulse transformer. The virtues are that theballast insulation is not exposed to pulse voltage. Theignitor can be mounted near the lamp, while the ballastcan be remote; it can be used with any ballast type. Thisis the most commonly used circuit internationally and isthe most costly, but it allows the use of a less expensiveballast. The ignitors are referred to as “Superimposed”ignitors (SIP) because the pulse is superimposed on top ofthe ballast OCV.

HID lamps are available internationally that incorporateinternal ignitors. The pulse voltage appears on the ballastoutput terminals. These may not work with all ballastcircuits, and could damage insulation. Technical supportshould be requested with these.

Venture® ignitors and ballasts are capable of continuouspulsing at the maximum rated case temperature.

Prolonged continuous operation (weeks to months)degrades ballast insulation and reduces ballast life. Thebest practice to prolong ballast life is timely replacementof failed lamps. Ignitor case temperature limits must beobserved; there is little safety margin, so expect shortignitor life if the limits are exceeded.

Most Venture pulse start ballasts have distance limitationsof 2 to 15 feet with standard ignitors. Longer ballast-to-lamp (BTL) distances can be attained with higher energyor SIP ignitors. These should not be used for short rangeas they may damage ballast insulation and shortenballast life. Contact Venture for availability and technicalsupport.

Remote MountingThe ballast to lamp (BTL) distance that standard metalhalide ballasts and lamps can be separated is limited bythe voltage drop of the wire which is determined by thewire size and length per the table below.

With pulse start metal halide and high pressure sodiumballasts, remote mounting capability is limited by the wirevoltage drop and the use of standard ignitors as theignitor pulse attenuates as the wire length increases.Remote mounting is possible by replacing the standardignitor with the remote superimposed ignitor per the tablebelow.

Grounding and WiringCaution: Installation and maintenance should only beperformed with the circuit turned off. Ballasts must beconnected to electrical ground to avoid electrical shock ordamage to the equipment and facility. The installationand wiring must comply with applicable federal, state orprovincial codes and regulations.

Core and coil ballasts are insulated with a varnish-likematerial. This material must be penetrated at the pointwhere the ground connection is made to ensure a goodconnection. This connection can be made when mountingthe ballast to the luminaire by using a star washer incombination with one of the mounting bolts.

Grounding of the Lamp Socket ShellsThe Canadian Electrical Code [Part 1 (1994) Rule 30-314]requires grounding of lamp socket shells; refer to theconnection diagrams. In circuits with two lamps in series,the socket shell is non-hazardous, provided that theremoval of the lamp electrically isolates the shell.

Circuit LoadingHow many lamps can be operated on a circuit?According to the 2005 National Electric Code® (NEC), inSection 210-20:

“Where a branch circuit supplies continuous loads, orany combination of continuous and non-continuousloads, the rating of the over-current device shall not beless than the non-continuous load plus 125% of thecontinuous load.”

“A Continuous Load is a load where the maximumcurrent is expected to continue for three hours or more.”

For new installations of CWA and regulated lag ballasts thehighest current draw is in continuous operation. The totalnumber of ballasts must draw less than 80% of the circuitbreaker rating. A conservative approach would use thecurrent draw of ballasts operating aged lamps. As lampsage, system wattage on CWA ballasts climbs, leading tohigher than rated input current. A safety factor of 1.2 timesthe rated current is a reasonable de-rating factor.

For new installations of reactor, HX, and Opti-Wave®

ballasts, the highest current draw is when the lamp is off,or just after starting. This occurs for seconds duringstarting, or for minutes following a power interruption.Per the NEC, this is a non-continuous load. Following alamp failure, power could be applied for a long time. TheNEC provides no guidance for dealing with failed lampsthat result in an open circuit current draw.

While it is unlikely that a lamp will be replaced in lessthan three hours, it is equally unlikely that users willtolerate very many lamp outages without replacementson a given circuit. As in the CWA case, a 1.2 safetyfactor seems reasonable. Divide the circuit breaker ratingby the open circuit current draw of the ballast todetermine the number of ballasts that can be connected(round down). Next, divide 80% of the circuit breakerrating by the normal operating current (round down) of aballast. The first is normally the limiting factor indetermining the allowable number of ballasts on a circuit.

In retrofits, higher wattage lamps and ballasts are usuallyreplaced with better performing, lower wattage lampsand ballasts. Circuit loading is rarely an issue as long asthe circuit was properly loaded initially.
