Nice! Needs some color though. also note that lumen output is different between coated and clear MV lamps.

[gailgrove]

Colourful enough for you? I know coated and clear lamps have somewhat different values, but they are pretty close, I just averaged everything. Otherwise I would have to get into coated and clear HPS and MH.

[Mike]

I thought MH was red? I like your lumen chart. Now I don't have to surf 1000 Bulbs.com to find the lumens of laps I need.

[gailgrove]

I was going for what colour the light they produce actually is, not the NEMA designation.

[Mike]

Ahh. Okay.

[joe_347V]

Nice job although the HPS is a bit hard to read, must be the yellow light

[gailgrove]

I put it in bold so it should be a little easier to read.

[joe_347V]

Thanks, I also stickied the thread so it won't get lost.

You forgot 175w PSMH, which is ~17000 lumens.

Great table! Nice to have a way to find the lumen output of HID lamps rather than having to search them up.
