Metal Halide

Metal halide refers to a type of lighting that produces bright, efficient illumination by passing an electric current through a mixture of metal salts and halogens (like iodine or bromine). When the electricity excites the metal atoms, they emit powerful, intense light. This technology is common in outdoor sports stadiums, warehouses, and large commercial spaces due to its high brightness and good color rendering. Metal halide lights are known for their energy efficiency compared to older lighting options, but they may take a few minutes to reach full brightness and can generate significant heat.
