Talk:Ceramic discharge metal halide lamp

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Operating principle?

A metal halide lamp works on basis of metal halides, not mercury and a noble gas. This should be reflected in the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.245.0.98 (talk • contribs).

Well, you might want to read this before you go off editing the article.

Uh yes, this article totally forgot about the fact that metal halide lamps use metal halides to make light. The mercury and argon is used for easy starting only to get the lamp started and warming up when switched on cold. 66.114.93.6 06:06, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
