EISA 2007 Pulse Start Advantages

Pulse Start technology is the new cornerstone in HID lighting. Pulse Start systems dramatically improve every aspect of metal halide lighting, including improved lumens per watt, lumen maintenance, longer lamp life and color stability.
  • Improved Efficacy
    Lumen output per watt increases by 25% to 50%, depending on lamp wattage and burning cycle


  • Up to 75% Lumen Maintenance
    Lower light loss results in consistently higher light levels and less energy consumption over life of lamp


  • Longer Lamp Life
    Up to a 50% improvement of lamp life: up to 20,000 – 30,000 hours

  • Superior Color Rendition
    Color Rendering Index (CRI) of up to 85+ represents a 30% improvement


  • Reduced Color Shift
    Improved lamp-to-lamp color consistency


  • Faster Warm-up
    Warm-up time is cut in half to just 2 minutes


  • Quicker Restrike
    Reduces the time needed to restart hot lamps after a momentary outage to just 3 to 4 minutes


  • Colder Starting Temperatures
    -30º to -40ºF/C Pulse Start versus -20º to -30ºF/C Probe Star
