Philips SON High Pressure Sodium Lamps

Philips SON High pressure sodium lamps are gas discharge lamps that work with sodium gas. This gas is under high pressure in the light bulb. When an electric current flows through it, it creates light. SON gas discharge lamps have a good light output and a long lifespan, varying between 20.000 and 45.000 burning hours. You can use the Philips SON gas discharge lamp in the industrial sector, as decorative lighting but also as road- en residential lighting. If you want to place the Philips SON outside, you have to have a fixture that is qualified for outside use. Furthermore, the fixture has to be enclosed.

Wattage VS Luminous Flux

LUMEN	INCANDESCENT	LED	CFL	HALOGEN

300 - 500 Lm	40 Watt	6 Watt	7 Watt	28 Watt
500 - 800 Lm	60 Watt	9 Watt	12 Watt	42 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.
