Pros and Cons about LPS lamps « on: November 08, 2006, 06:46:17 PM » Author: TudorWhiz
READ THIS FIRST


Here I am gonna start something fun for you......and educational so you guys can learn.....but here's the rules....

only one positive OR a negative on each post....not both Pos. and Neg., also if the post is a negative please put subject as "Negative" or if its a Positive subject it as Positive....

Also I would like each person to get chance to post something....Please don't post 2 times....instead if you are the last person to post.....wait for one other person to post...then you can post as long as there is no double post of the same person

__________________________________

Example

Post 1: Ben

Post 2: Tammy (Ben can't Post this since he was last to post)

Post 3  Seth (it is OK for Ben to post...but Tammy can't post on this since she was last to post but can post on 4th)

Post 4: Will (Ben or Tammy either can post since the last person was Seth and Seth can't post this)
__________________________________

UPDATE: another idea I had...you can set the message icon to thumbs up for Positive and thumbs down for negative

So post only either one Pro or a Con about LPS lamps....

Enjoy!

Can suffer sodium migration before end of life, especially the 180w size, and essentially become red at the electrode end and become less efficent.

Scary to drive under LPS lights because of the monochromatic light and makes pedestrians hard to see! The monochromatic effect is just so weird.

Way too dark at night, color rendering is beyond poor.

I know that this post is old but anyway... Sodium hydroxide is not toxic, but its corrosive. When the lye is exposed to the air, it easily catches water and CO2 and converts into sodium carbonate, wich is less dangrous than lye. That also happens when with the water, it will catch the CO2 of the water.
