Science behind the product
A high-pressure sodium lamp uses sodium to create light. High pressure lamps have more components than low pressure and contain other substances such as mercury. The lamp produces a clarity of light that creates vivid colour from objects illuminated by it.
The arc tube of a high-pressure sodium light is made out of aluminium oxide, due to its resistance to the high pressure, and xenon, a stable noble gas. This is used as a starter for the light because it is extremely unreactive: it does not interfere with the chemical reactions occurring in the operating lamp.
Voltage runs to the light through a ballast, which regulates the current.
