High pressure lights have a life expectancy of 16 000 to 24 000 hours while low pressure sodium lights should run for 12 000 to 18 000 hours.
High pressure sodium lamp lifetime.
A sodium vapor lamp is a gas discharge lamp that uses sodium in an excited state to produce light at a characteristic wavelength near 589 nm.
Cri and reduced lamp efficacy.
High pressure sodium applications hps lamps unlike most metal halides do not require enclosure except to prevent moisture from accumulating on the lamp.
Two varieties of such lamps exist.

Low pressure and high pressure low pressure sodium lamps are highly efficient electrical light sources but their yellow light restricts applications to outdoor lighting such as street lamps where they are widely used.

Ballasts for discharge lamps.
High pressure sodium lamps tend to produce a much whiter light but still with a characteristic orange pink cast.
New color corrected versions producing a whiter light are now available but some efficiency is sacrificed for the improved color.
The expected lifetime for high pressure sodium lights is longer than low pressure sodium lights.
