What Does HID Stand For?
HID stands for High Intensity Discharge
HID, or High Intensity Discharge, refers to a type of electrical lighting technology that produces a bright light by passing an electric current through a gas, resulting in a high output of lumens per watt. Commonly used in commercial and industrial applications, HID lamps provide efficient illumination for outdoor lighting, streetlights, and large indoor spaces. They are known for their efficacy and longevity, though they typically require a ballast for operation and have a longer warm-up time compared to other lighting technologies.
