What is a Metal Halide (MH) Lamp?
A metal-halide lamp is an electrical lamp that produces light by an electric arc through a gaseous mixture of vaporized mercury and metal halides (compounds of metals with bromine or iodine). It is a type of high-intensity discharge (HID) gas discharge lamp.
As one of the most efficient sources of high CRI white light, metal halides as of 2005 were the fastest-growing segment of the lighting industry. They are used for general lighting purposes both indoors and outdoors, such as commercial, industrial, and public spaces, parking lots, sports arenas, factories, and retail stores, as well as residential security lighting; automotive and specialty applications are further fields of usage.
LED vs Metal Halide Lights, What’s the Difference Between Metal Halide and LED Lights?
Specific brightness
The brightness of a 100-watt LED high bay light is equivalent to that of a metal halide high bay light of about 250 watts, and the average illuminance has not weakened at all.
Energy saving
Taking 100 lamps as an example, the average usage is 10 hours a day, and the electricity cost is 1 yuan/kWh. Replacing 250-watt metal halide lamps with 100-watt LED high bay lights can save 4,500 yuan in electricity bills per month and 54,750 yuan in electricity bills per year.
WINNER: LED
Usage time:
Compared to all other lighting technologies, LEDs have an extremely long lifetime.
The service life of the metal halide high bay light is 8,000 hours, and the LED high bay light can reach 30,000 hours equivalent to turning on the light for 10 hours a day, which can be used for 8 years, greatly reducing the cost of manual light replacement, and the cost performance is really high.

WINNER: LED
Greener
When the metal halide high bay light emits light, it will generate ultraviolet and infrared rays, the heat is large, and the air is dry, while the LED high bay light has no radiation, which not only protects people's eyes but also benefits a healthy body.
WINNER: LED
Cost:
LED lighting has a relatively high initial cost and low life cycle cost. LED maintenance costs are low due to the longevity of the LEDs and the frequency of bulb replacement.
Metal halide lamps are relatively inexpensive to purchase but relatively expensive to maintain.
In conclusion, LED lightings have many advantages, including improved energy efficiency, very long light life, and environmental friendliness. The downside is the price, which at the moment has been falling over the years and will continue to fall as they continue to gain mass adoption.
