Personally, I'd worry about the lamp resting on the cold metal support in case it should create a local thermal stress point and cause the envelope to implode. Impressive lamp though!
I have a projector lamp, but I can't turn it on because it doesn't have a ballast and because of that I've been trying to use a 12v battery and some DIY things and I managed to light it with a battery
16amp & 8amp sockets are normal thing in most of asia. Here we have round pin plugs and the large one can do 16amp & smaller one can do 8amp. Anything more requires hard wiring to electrical box. There aren't many loads that can pull more than 16amps at 240v. , Only the water pump (which is 2hp) , 3x 76000btu pannasonic vrf & a 3phase 2hp exhaust fan motor is hardwired to electrical box in my home..
Yeah, that is the molten metal salts at the bottom. Not all the halide dose is evaporated on the majority of halide lamps. You can actually see them vaporising when it starts.
LED's that probably cost 1/30 of the cost of a gas bulb, less non-directional wasted light (less light pollution), less energy waste running them, less maintenance (provided they are not over-driven). And will last year's (again, if good quality, under-driven). While they take a bit of adjusting to, they are doing an important job.
1/30th? Sounds a little optimistic. A lot optimistic, even. However, even 1/2 of the cost (which seems more realistic) is quite a good savings at that scale. Still unfortunate that LED is taking away all of the interesting lights though.
@@Wyatt_James typically you would be looking at between 1/2 MW to just over 1MW for flood lighting a stadium using halogen lamps, monthly maintenance. With LED lamps it's a tenth of the power consumption but after initial installation the maintenance costs plummets to 1 inspection every 3 or 4 years provided they are not overdriven and have adaquate cooling they can last for years without needing to be replaced. This where they cost 1/30th of the old lights.
@@Wyatt_James misread their poor grammar and lower case as typos. Still my point is still valid, it's 1:18 cheaper. And who is this 'we', 'they' made a comment and 'we' are the responses.
I like watching the salts recrystallize. It's the best part. Just caught it at the end.
Should have given Photonicinduction a call, he'd have powered that in seconds.
Omfg. I remember watching the vid of you comparing different MH Lamps years ago, always wanted to see it turned on
Nothing like the light from some good ol mercury!

Oh what I would go through to get my hands on one of these, here in the states 1.5kw is the best I can do. Excellent work sir.
well... 1.5kW is the best a standard socket can do... those dryer sockets though... DAAAAAYUM they pack a wallop!
Ebay is your freind for US nembers
Imagine putting a 9-ft diameter highly polished parabolic reflector behind this bad boy.
I remember been round Photonicinduction's when he fired up a 10kW halogen, instant Sahara heat lol 🤣
Having fired up "only" a 5kW halogen, which was quite staggering... I can't imagine what a 10kW would be like in person!!!
What kind of applications are these bulbs used for? Cool video!
Big sport stadiums ect. They'd have dozens of these mounted on big masts!
20A, but the mains fuse in the plug had to be "upgraded" for this, probably using the good old M6 stud fuse.
Not far off... A 1/4 hex bit 😂😂😂
Cool
It’s so sad that many stadiums are replacing these with LEDs. LEDs make the game look artificial on TV.
Sadly LED is taking over pretty much everywhere these days which is a shame. :(
You can make LED look good but it seems no one cares
I have a projector lamp, but I can't turn it on because it doesn't have a ballast and because of that I've been trying to use a 12v battery and some DIY things and I managed to light it with a battery
I have one of those as well in
Big boy lamp!
Jealous how easily you can get that kind of power from wall sockets over there.
The UK would be lost without our 3kW kettles lol.

Where I live, most ordinary households have 3 phases and 16A in the house.
That's a hell of a light bulb, holy smokes.
@@FrontSideBus damn right, but when you go gas you never use mains again if you have hard water.
At 5:30 is that the halides solidifying at the bottom inside the tube? Nice video!

Hello sir can u share wiring drawing
I'm am very sad because in my city a new stadiums was made but alas no mh lamp they were all stupid dum led floodlights

@@dennis8196 Why are you comparing to a halogen? We were referring to Metal-Halide.

Stop taking the lord's name in vain
There is no fucking god.
Used the 1kw version of these as grow lights. They worked awsome! ⛤❤⛤
I bet your electric bill was something lol.
