Longer Life: Discharge lamps typically last much longer than incandescent lamps. Depending on the type and size of the lamp, discharge lamps can last up to 20,000 hours or more, compared to 1,500 hours for incandescent lamps.
Lower Maintenance Costs: Due to their longer life, discharge lamps require less frequent replacement and therefore less maintenance costs.
Higher Efficiency: Discharge lamps are much more energy efficient than incandescent lamps. This means they produce more light while using less energy.
Higher Color Rendering: Discharge lamps also produce a truer and more natural color than incandescent lamps, making them better for applications that require accurate color rendition.
Wider Range of Applications: Discharge lamps can be used in a wider range of applications than incandescent lamps. This means they can be used in places where incandescent lamps cannot, such as outdoor lighting or in hazardous locations.
