Sodium Lamps

Sodium lamps, known for their distinctive yellow-orange glow, are widely utilised in various applications due to their efficiency and long lifespan. These lamps operate by passing an electric current through sodium vapour, which produces light. They come in two main types: low-pressure sodium (LPS) and high-pressure sodium (HPS) lamps. LPS lamps emit a monochromatic yellow light and are highly efficient but offer poor colour rendering. In contrast, HPS lamps provide a broader spectrum of light with better colour rendering while maintaining high efficiency. Sodium lamps are often used in street lighting, industrial lighting, and security lighting due to their durability and ability to penetrate fog and mist.
