Metal-halide lamps are electrical lamps that produce light by an electric arc through a gaseous mixture of vaporized mercury and metal halides. The full light output is reached after a warm-up period of several minutes.
They operate at a pressure between 4 and 20 atmospheres so require special fixtures to operate safely, as well as an electrical ballast and a special igniter to ensure a reliable and instantaneous lamp ignition.
