Medium Pressure Lamps
Medium-pressure lamps are much more similar to HID lamps than fluorescent lamps.
These lamps radiate a broad-band UV-C radiation, rather than a single line. They are widely used in industrial water treatment, because they are very intense radiation sources. They are as efficient as low-pressure lamps. Medium-pressure lamps produce very bright bluish white light.

Famous quotes containing the words medium, pressure and/or lamps:
“The role of the writer is not simply to arrange Being according to his own lights; he must also serve as a medium to Being and remain open to its often unfathomable dictates. This is the only way the work can transcend its creator and radiate its meaning further than the author himself can see or perceive.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
“Amid the pressure of great events, a general principle gives no help.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“You are to the Nineties what lava lamps were to the Seventies.”
—Robert Altman, U.S. director, screenwriter, and Barbara Shulgasser. Cort Romney (Richard E. Grant)
