- Halides are not metals.
- There's no such thing as the "halide group" (that would be the halogen group). Any metal can be a halide.
- Metal halide lamps probably don't contain astatine (highly radioactive). --Smack (talk) 04:13, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
- AFAIK they're metals AND halides, not metals THAT ARE halides.
- Change it to think for the mean time.
- Removed "all" for the mean time.
Removing the accuracy tag for now. 68.39.174.91 08:38, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
hOW ABOUT SOME-THING ON THEIR HISTORY?
correlated color temperature
Changed references to color temperature to correlated color temperature. HID spectral output does not resemble black body emission, and apparent color does not lie on the Planckian locus. Chondrite 22:00, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
Phosphor
A "phosphor" is not used to diffuse light, but to convert a short wavelength (UV perhaps) into a longer (visible) wavelength.
are you Sure about that??....The spectrum produced by the Metal Halide Arc is White and has a Good CRI,why would it need Phosphorus??....they do make MH Lamps with Diffuse Coatings.
Phosphor is used to create a warmer color temp and to eliminate glare from the arc. 12.155.56.194 (talk) 18:20, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
Regulations
Suggest it be made clear (at the End of Life segment) that where these lamps are part of consumer electronics, like an LCD or DLP projector, that they are not "electronic waste" in most regulations in the United States, and should instead be disposed of as "universal waste."
Relevant links here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Waste http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/hazwaste/recycle/electron/mce-fs.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.67.6.15 (talk) 23:25, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
Luminous efficacy
"About 24% of the energy used by metal halide lamps produces light (65-115 lm/W[1])"
The numbers in that sentence are a little contradicting. Which one is correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Victor van Poppelen (talk • contribs) 22:25, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
