Why BLV added lithium to their orange MH lamps of 150W and over? « on: October 19, 2025, 09:18:35 AM » Author: dor123
According to this PDF file , BLV orange MH lamps of 150W and over, have Na-Li, while 70W have Na only. Why they didn't added lithium also to the 70W orange MH lamp?

Please forgive me if my choice of my words looks like offensive, while that isn't my intention.

I only working with the international date format (dd.mm.yyyy).

I have both 70W and 250W versions. From the spectral captures I can say that smaller lamps definitely work at higher pressure and so have their Na line more widened and somewhat shifted to red. So there is less need to add Li to get the color desired.
