Re: Lighting

I assume you are intending to say lumens per watt? You first, what do you think? After you answer, we will help. We are not in the business of just answering your test or homework question; however, we are here to help you.

Re: Lighting

Thanks Charlie,

I did mean to say per watt.

Mercury vapor should give you the most light per foot candles.

Thanks, Paul

Re: Lighting

Soory no, it certainly is not MV, HPS has twice the efficient than MV, And some of the new t-5's are better than HPS.
but the most efficient source in general use is low pressure sodium.

Re: Lighting

Tom,

Also in the test for that same question included Metal Halide.

Sorry that I didn't include that.

Re: Lighting

Tom,
it's been so long since I've seen a Low Pressure Sodium fixture or lamp. I've known too much since then so they've been almost completly erased from memory
