When marking street light poles, what is the standard color to use on the tag to identify a metal halide lamp? I know it is yellow for HPS but I can not find a standard for MH.

Induction----White

The wattage is also listed using the first 2 digits,ie, 7=70watt, 15=150 etc. Induction is listed with the wattage over the letters IND,ie,
