| I don't know exactly but they run cooler than other HID because they are very efficient. James Hooker would know.

Why I like LEDs on top of other lighting tech?
LEDs = Upgrade 95% of the applications. (That is if you avoid eBay's LEDs).
LED brainwash? No, people uses them cuz they work well for them.

| With one of those no-contact thermometer. You don't have to touch anything to get a reading. Some of them have a built laser pointer.

Outer glass: Base/electrode area 82C - 180F End: 72C - 162F
Arc tube: Cathode ends 95C - 203F U bend: 83C - 181F

| technically a low pressure sodium lamp is not a high intensity discharge lamp
1 a lps lamp opperates under low pressure.
2 a lps has a lower current glow discharge as apposed to hids which use higher current arc discharges.
3 a lps lamp does not exibit the bright arc of a hid lamp and produces a soft glow similar to a flourescent lamp.
