Are Sylvania Relumina really have lanthanum? « on: May 25, 2026, 04:44:00 AM » Author: dor123
At James Hooker's website is written that the halide chemistry of the Sylvania Relumina CMH retrofit for MV lamps, have La-Na-Tl-Ca. The first halide, La, is lanthanum. Are the Sylvania Relumina really have it?

I've never seen CMH lamps with LaI. What Sylvania put it?

It was to circumvent the Philips patent on high efficacy halide fills.  Sylvania has a much earlier patent on the use of the Lanthanum-Thallium halides as a mechanism of boosting efficacy, lumen maintenance and colour rendering.  I don't think that was ever commercialised, but with modern computer modelling techniques we were able to further refine the La-Tl system to deliver exception performance especially when combined with the benefits of cerium halide.
