| I bought a new 6500K 70W MH lamp for my tracklight several weeks ago, and its DyI emission is very weak, even today. And no, it have a good amount of halides inside and large enough heat reflective coatings at the arctube ends, and operates on an electronic HID ballast.
Why the DyI in my lamp is so weak?

| How do you decide what's weak?
Did you let it run for 100 hours before taking your first spectrum? The first 100 hours are not representative for what a discharge lamp should look like. It has to age 100 hours first, because in the first 100 it ages rapidly after which it stabilizes for thousands of hours.

| I bet the lamp run more than 100 hours. I received the lamp at 20.12.2025.

| So you wanted a 6500K lamp and Chinese bro's supplied you with Dy-Tl lamp accordingly, okay. ) Tl line is always very prominent in these, as it is essentially monochromatic even at high arc loadings. It may look bright on the spectrum, but overall energy is limited as the width is still very narrow.
If checked with a calibrated spectrometer the lamp will show the color on CIE1931 XY space goes too much high to the green, we may speculate the lamp is improperly dosed or runs too cold (due to a leak to outer bulb, just badly made etc).

| There is no thallium in the spectrum. Only mercury and dysprosium. The green line is of mercury.

| How do you know this? Tl 535nm is rather close to Hg 546nm, hard to tell on uncalibrated spectrum. One way to tell is to look at run-up. At start, only four Hg lines present, as the burner heats, nearby Tl green line appears, and later usually over-dominates green Hg line.

| No thallium appears when I see the spectrum of this lamp run-up. Also, the yellow doublet and blue line of mercury are also strong.
Also: The lamp would be greenish if thallium would be present, and it isn't the case.
