Philips Gas Discharge Lamps

The Philips gas discharge lamps range covers high-performance lighting solutions built for industrial and large-scale applications. From high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps to metal halide, high-pressure sodium and other discharge technologies, each unit brings high light output, long service life and compliance with professional lighting standards. As part of Philips’ professional lighting portfolio, these lamps support demanding projects such as warehouses, street lighting, sports halls and industrial facilities.

Philips High Intensity Discharge Lamps for Industrial & Outdoor Use

Philips high intensity discharge lamps are engineered for installations where very high luminous outputs are required, often replacing older lamp types while offering longer lifespan and improved energy performance. 
Key features:

  • Compact high‐intensity discharge categories (e.g., ceramic metal halide, quartz metal halide, high‐pressure sodium) under the Philips “High Intensity Discharge” umbrella. 
  • Efficiency improvements over older technology, delivering high lumens per watt and long lifetime
  • Suitable for large spaces: warehouses, streets, stadiums, industrial halls where conventional lighting is insufficient.

These lamps are a key element for lighting professionals and distributors handling retrofit or new high-output lighting installations.

Philips HID/Metal Halide & Sodium Discharge Lamps for Specialty Applications

Philips also offers discharge lamps for specific professional uses — such as ceramic metal halide (CMH) for retail and display lighting, high‐pressure sodium (HPS) for outdoor area lighting, and other niche discharge types. 
Technical highlights:

  • Ceramic metal halide variants deliver improved colour rendering (CRI) and stable colour over lifetime compared to older discharge lamps. 
  • High-pressure sodium lamps (such as the SON/SOX series) deliver high energy efficiency for areas where colour accuracy is less critical. 
  • These discharge lamps require appropriate ballasts/gear and installation considerations (ignition systems, warm-up behaviour, thermal stability). 

For wholesale distributors, these Philips discharge lamp lines enable support for legacy installations as well as high-spec projects where discharge technology is still required.

Philips Gas Discharge Lamps Assortment Overview

The Philips gas discharge lamps portfolio is organized into key segments:

  • High Intensity Discharge (HID) Lamps — the main category for high-output, professional lighting.
  • Metal Halide & Ceramic Metal Halide Lamps — for display, retail and architectural high-output lighting needs.
  • High-Pressure Sodium & Other Discharge Lamps — for outdoor and utility lighting where efficiency and longevity are essential.

This segmentation supports distributors and project buyers in aligning their purchasing and inventory strategy with application types and installation requirements.
