The lamp is an improvement over the lps lamp in that it has more acceptable color with the great efficiency of the sodium lamp. Some bulbs also briefly produce a pure to bluish white light. As the main arc strikes and the gas heats up and increases in pressure the light shifts into the visible range and the high gas pressure causes.

High pressure sodium vapor hps lights similar to lps lights are a specific type of gas discharge light also known as a high intensity discharge hid or arc light. In 1959 the development of polycrystalline alumina pca opened a new path to introduce the high pressure sodium vapor lamp as this material is very rarely affected by high pressure and temperature sodium vapor. The principal difference between low and high pressure sodium lights is the operating pressure inside the lamp. The sodium is mixed with other impurities to create a.

The sodium vapor strikes an arc over 240 c. The high pressure sodium lamps have excellent colour rendition with a white colour appearance.

The first lamp with 400 w 42000 initial lumens and 6000 hour life first came in the market in 1965. High pressure sodium hps lamps are smaller and contain additional elements such as mercury and produce a dark pink glow when first struck and an intense pinkish orange light when warmed.
