Do I need a specific fixture for this lamp?\u003c\/b\u003e Yes, this lamp must be used in an enclosed fixture specifically designed for double-ended HQI lamps with an RX7s base and the correct control gear (ballast and ignitor).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e2. Can I touch the glass of the HQI lamp with my bare hands?\u003c\/b\u003e It is highly recommended to use a clean cloth or gloves when handling. Oils from skin can cause \"hot spots\" on the quartz glass, which may lead to premature failure or the lamp shattering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e3. Does this lamp reach full brightness immediately?\u003c\/b\u003e No, like all metal halide lamps, it requires a warm-up period of a few minutes to reach its full light output and stable color temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e4. What happens if there is a brief power cut?\u003c\/b\u003e The lamp will require a \"restrike\" period. It must cool down for several minutes before the ignitor can restart the arc and bring the light back on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e5. How does this compare to a standard halogen floodlight?\u003c\/b\u003e A 150W HQI lamp is significantly more efficient than a halogen bulb, providing much higher brightness while consuming less energy and offering a significantly longer lifespan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CK-Electricals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57219033432446,"sku":null,"price":13.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0985\/3832\/4350\/files\/DEHQI150W.jpg?v=1775585332","url":"https:\/\/ssmelectric.co.uk\/products\/high-performance-150w-hqi-double-ended-metal-halide-lamp","provider":"SSM ELECTRIC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
