Basic Metal Halide Lamp Base Types Used in Commercial Exterior Lighting

Some types have an Edison screw metal base, for various power ratings between 10 and 18,000 watts. Other types are double-ended, as depicted above, with G4-G12 bases composed of ceramic, along with metal connections between the interior of the arc tube and the exterior. These are made of various alloys (such as iron-cobalt-nickel) that have a thermal coefficient of expansion that matches that of the arc tube. There halogen bulbs are mainly used in commercial exterior lighting.
