As pressure increases the chance of multiple collisions gets increased.
High pressure mercury vapour lamp colour.
There is also an increase in red color e g due to the continuous radiation in ultra high pressure mercury vapor lamps usually greater than 200 atm which has found application in modern compact projection devices.
Mercury lamps get dimmer over time and rarely burn out so it is wise to replace them and restore light level.
The clear mercury bulb has a bluish green appearance and the deluxe white has a higher color rendering.
High pressure mercury the mercury vapour standard range of high pressure mercury lamps utilise yttrium vanadate phosphor and provide a neutral white colour temperature of 4000k.
Most models produce a bluish white light.
Mercury vapor lamps feature low initial cost but have higher operating costs than hps or metal halide due to its lower efficiency.
Mercury vapor lamps were the first high intensity discharge lamps to be commercially available for a wide variety of lighting applications.
Mercury vapor lamps are gas discharge lamps that uses an electric arc through vaporized mercury to produce light.
This results in a warmer color appearance and higher color rendering than standard mercury lamps.
Again transition of the electrons requires least amount of input energy from a colliding electron.
The light output of a self ballasted lamp is a blend of incandescent and mercury vapor light.
When outside coated or color corrected lamps can usually be identified by a blue halo around the light being given off.
Further improvement is achieved in many of the lamp types by the addition of a phosphor coating to the inside surface of the outer bulb.
