Hello,
is there a complete table of the electrical caractheristics of lamps run of ballast were an ANSI code (i.e. S52 for a HV 1kW HPS lamp) exists?

Best regards,

Alex

I’m not sure a table has been published, but in the ANSI standards there are datasheets for each lamp type which include this information.

Hello James,
Thank you. If I find time ill dig it out and will put a table together and publisch here.

Best regards,

Alex

This was the information that I have gathered so far. Some information may not be correct.

See here:

That useful compilation of ANSI spec by WorldwideHIDCollectorUSA deserves a permalink on the L-G front page!

Some info at the end of this old article, too
