HID lamps include Mercury Vapor, Metal Halide, High Pressure Sodium/Low Pressure Sodium (SOX). In an HID lamp, the electrical arc, gasses and metals are contained in the arc tube. Like fluorescents, HID lamps require a ballast to control the electrical current in the arc tube. HID lamps need a start-up time to reach their full brightness. This usually takes 5 to 10 minutes. Mercury Vapor: Uses a small amount of liquid mercury sealed in a quartz tube with argon gas Produces both visible and invisible UV light.
