Anyone know of such a thing please. I am at a loss as I have minimal knowledge of this subject. I am looking for discharge luminaires with a rough equivalence to 1000w tungsten/halogen. These will be controlled by either time switches or dusk/dawn sensors. Must give a white, not amber/yellow, light. I've googled for hours and find myself more confused than ever. No doubt I am not putting the right search in but I don't really know what I'm looking for. Tungsten/halogen I vaguely understand as that is what I use now. Several luminaires are well past the use-by date. So I would like to replace them with more modern and efficient units. Son, Sox, HQI, metal halide ! The choices seem bewildering but, as yet, I am unable to find a simple explanation or comparison of different types.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Philip.
