Metal Halide Bulb Tester

Metal halide bulbs high pressure sodium bulbs and mercury lamps make up the family of high intensity discharge hid lighting.

Metal halide bulb tester.

To carry out this test is a simple process you should turn the multimeter to ohms settings and then you can make the meter indicate a direct shot by touching the ends of each. Checks starting pulse voltage and open circuit voltage. A metal halide lamp has an arc tube in a brand new lamp that arc tube will be clear or clean looking. Both testers fit in one belt loop.

The ballast assembly consists of a transformer capacitor and lamp starter sized for the specific type of lamp. Instructions are printed right on the hid light fixture tester. Used on hps high pressure sodium mh metal halide and mv mercury vapor types of lamp.

On a typical metal halide lamp one or two wires goes into each fixture the yellow or blue wires indicate the power wires while the white wire would be neutral. A ballast serves as a lamp starter and regulates power to the light. Make sure power is off 2. Set your store to see local availability add to cart.

An old metal halide lamp the arc tube will be black most of the time but not all that arc tube will shatter at the end of life and sometimes the outer glass will shatter as well if that is the case you will need a heavy pair of needle nose. Checks starting pulse voltage and open circuit voltage. Used on hps high pressure sodium mh metal halide and mv mercury vapor types of lamp. Screw tester into base lampholder and turn power.

Like fluorescent lamps hid lamps produce light by the excitation of a gas confined between a pair of electrodes and require a ballast to limit current draw and to provide proper starting and operating voltages.
