SDW-TG Mini - GX12
The SDW gas discharge lamps with a GX12 base produce an intense light. This is due to the sodium in the light bulb that is under high pressure. The SDW-TG Mini is produced by Philips, which means you will always be ensured of quality! Gas discharge lamps need a ballast for them to work. For example, Philips has specially made ballasts that work perfectly with the SDW HID bulbs! The SDW-TG Mini gas discharge lamps are not dimmable. When replacing HID bulbs, you have got to make sure you don’t change the wattage. The ballast is connected to this.
Wattage VS Luminous Flux
| LUMEN | INCANDESCENT | LED | CFL | HALOGEN |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 200 - 300 Lm | 25 Watt | 2 Watt | 5 Watt | 20 Watt |
| 300 - 500 Lm | 40 Watt | 6 Watt | 7 Watt | 28 Watt |
| 500 - 800 Lm | 60 Watt | 9 Watt | 12 Watt | 42 Watt |
| 700 - 1000 Lm | 75 Watt | 10 Watt | 14 Watt | 53 Watt |
| > 1000 Lm | 100 Watt | >15 Watt | >16 Watt | >70 Watt |
Luminous flux (in lumens) is a measure of the total amount of light a lamp puts out. Wattage is the amount of watt a bulb uses in 1 hour. We've long identified bulbs by their wattage, but that is actually a measure of electricity, not the brightness of a bulb. The amount of light a bulb generates is measured in lumens. An incandescent 60-watt bulb, for example, gives off 750 lumens of light and LED bulbs can deliver the same amount of light using as little as 9 Watt! The amount of Lumen divided by the wattage will show you which lamps are most energy efficient.
