Metal Halide

Metal halide lamps, a member of the high-intensity discharge (HID) family of lamps, produce high light output for their size, making them a compact, powerful, and efficient light source. Metal halide lamps are used both for general lighting purposes, and for very specific applications which require specific UV or blue-frequency light. Due to their wide spectrum, they are used for indoor growing applications, in athletic facilities and are quite popular with reef aquarists, who need a high intensity light source for their corals.
