SOX 55 LOW PRESSURE SOD

Converts electricity to intense sodium light for illumination systems that demand low-energy operation. Operates under low pressure, optimized for applications like exterior lighting or industrial spaces requiring efficient, monochromatic output. Fits in the high-pressure sodium category but specialized. Watts at 55 output. Rated lifespan? ~18K hours typical use before degradation kicks in hard—dependent on ballast compatibility and operating conditions. Tubular construction, standard SOX socket match-up for replacement scenarios; do NOT confuse with SON variants (different handling specs). Dimensions around 525mm length by approx. 40mm diameter—verify if sized tight into housing unit. Effective color temperature: Warm-yellow range (~1800 Kelvin maybe?). Lumen delivery: solid @6200 lumens performance when new (manufacturer data seems legit). Power connection voltage needs stabilized 240V mains input setup or fluctuation may tank efficiency sharply over time. Handle fragile ceramic/sodium-components carefully during installation; accidental break risks contamination + immediate loss of fixture utility. Technical notes dump: Low-pressure sodium gas discharge type lamp, Watts-rated-55 level, Length-~525mm, Diameter-38–40 mm varies slightly per batch if casing shifts during production run, Connection voltage spec locked at ~240V detection circuit threshold recommended, Start-up stabilization lag (<5 min till steady glow common.), Always install vertical orientation where possible, Matches roughly IEC code profiles referring SOX series-lamp-family manuals sort-based standards guidance appendix.)
