AND
OPERATING
For lighting applications, performance is everything. The
lamp and ballast are expected to provide uniform, bright
light, as well as great lumen maintenance and long life.
In most horizontal lighting applications, lamp light output
and life are drastically effected.
Published catalog lumens of Universal lamps are based
on operation in the Vertical burning position. When
these lamps are burned horizontally, they will lose as
much as 25% of lamp life and 10% of its initial and
mean lumens.

lamp performance in a horizontal burning position is

H75
Venture has created a horizontal pulse start lamp line that
now offers long life and high lumens based on a better
arc tube. This line of lamps is free of the problems
associated with the POM base lamps and is offered in a
variety of jacket sizes and wattages.
There are several types of burn positions posted by all
manufacturers. These different positions are: Universal
(“U”), Vertical (“V”), Base Up (“BU”), and Horizontal
(“HOR”).

U NIVERSAL (U)
When a metal halide lamp is turned sideways, two things
occur: loss of lamp life as well and loss
of lamp lumens. All lamp
manufacturers
publish
these ratings. When the
lamp burns on its side,
gravity intervenes, and the arc between
the electrodes begins to bow upwards. As this happens,
the bow of the arc overheats on the upper quartz wall of
the arc tube. This shortens the life of the lamp and often
cause non-passive failures.
The bow in the arc also reduces lumen output. The metal
halide salts used in the chemistry of the arc tube lay at the
bottom of the arc tube in the horizontal burning position;
this creates a cool pool of halides. This pool affects the
performance of the lamp, resulting in lower lumen output.
H ORIZONTAL (HOR)
A design technique with probe start HOR lamps used by
Venture to help correct lumen output and lamp life loss is
the usage of POM bases and sockets. The electrodes in
this arc tube design are moved down to the bottom of the
arc tube. As the arc bows, it does not position itself as
close to the top of the arc tube, thus assisting in improved
lamp life.
In addition, with the electrodes positioned lower, the pool
of halides falls due to the gravity draw. They are now
closer to the arc stream,
which keeps the overall
light output high.
This design has resulted in many problems in lighting
applications. Initially, engineers must be certain to specify
the POM base and socket. Then, the manufacturer has to
ensure that the POM socket is correctly installed in the
fixture, and the proper
HOR lamp with the
POM base has to be
ordered. Additionally,
the pin and the channel
on the socket must
Position Oriented Mogul
(POM) base and socket,
align perfectly. All of
which is NOT required for
these elements rarely
Venture’s H75 Series
occur. Consequently,
early failures, color
shift and lumen miscalculations are common occurrences.
Venture’s Horizontal Pulse Start Series is a practical and
needed improvement to help alleviate these problems.
H ORIZONTAL +/- 75°(H75)
What makes Venture’s Horizontal Pulse Start systems so
unique is the Uni-Form® arc tube. Venture Lighting
understands the practical need to remove the POM base
and socket requirement. In order to allow this to happen,
Venture developed a
way to keep the
electrodes at the
center of the arc tube
at all times; the install
positioning has now
become irrelevant.
Life
The walls of the arc
tube have been
substantially thickened with quartz material. This allows
for a more uniform heating of the upper side of the arc
tube, which results in longer overall lamp life.
Lumens
Venture has also modified the Uni-Form arc tube shape
to offer better lumens. The chemistry of the metal halide
lamp’s arc tube has been changed to produce the lumens
that meet the standard V or BU versions of the lamp. This
has produced greater mean lumens in this product line.
Dimming Capabilities
For even greater energy savings, Venture Lighting’s
Horizontal pulse start metal halide lamps can be step or
bi-level dimmed by the switched capacitance method on
a CWA or CWI ballast, or continuously dimmed on
electronic ballasts. Lamps cannot be dimmed below 50%
of the rated lamp wattage at 90% input voltage. Contact
Venture Lighting for further information.
