Metal Halide Color Temperature

1305 Views 3 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  tlbays
Does the color temperature (i.e. 7200k) of these bulbs make a difference in the UV output? I need a new bulb, so wanted to find out if it matters.

thanks!

No colour temp isn't related to uv output.
Thanks, Dave!
Hi Guys

It's correct that Kelvin Temp is not a spec for bulb choice,
but it does hint at the fact that spectra output of a metal halide lamp varies.

Here's an excellent reference for anyone interested in further explanation:

Happy trails!
