In chemical manufacturing plants, which is more commonly used currently: explosion-proof fluorescent lamps or explosion-proof metal halide lamps? Which one has a higher luminous flux?
Chemical manufacturing enterprises generally use explosion-proof fluorescent lamps more often. In my opinion, the installation and maintenance of metal halide lamps are quite complicated, their cost is high, and their energy-saving efficiency is not as good as that of fluorescent lamps.
Halogen lamps have a high luminous flux, which means they consume more power
The metal halide lamps used in our facility don’t seem difficult to maintain either
Energy-saving fluorescent lamps perform well when used in explosion-proof lighting fixtures.
All the explosion-proof fluorescent lamps used in the design of the new projects at our company are energy-efficient and help reduce maintenance needs. The price is lower than that of metal halide lamps
It depends on your lighting requirements; the two are not on the same level – metal halide lamps provide more light, but they are also much more expensive
Of these two types of lamps, explosion-proof fluorescent lamps are used more frequently, while metal halide lamps have a higher lumen output.
A choice can be made based on the conditions on site; fluorescent lamps are a bit cheaper than metal halide lamps. But if it is at a higher position, metal halide lamps are still better.
We use gold-colored lamp bulbs more often. Although they are a bit more expensive, it seems that lamps with gold-colored bulbs emit more light at the same power level. There’s no difference in terms of difficulty when performing maintenance – it’s all about replacing the bulbs, right?
