With a luminous flux of 9000, the pulse start bulb is a better option over other standard metal halide lamps and increases maintained light output over 25%.
Not only does this bulb have greater efficiency and lumen maintenance, but also has a 50% faster warm up and restrike time, and a 50% increase in rated life which is 24000 hours! This pulse start lamp, with its reduced heat loss, uses one- fifth of the power that a comparable incandescent bulb uses, helping you save money, time, and the environment.
