The Uni-Form®
Pulse Start Advantage
The Uni-Form pulse start formed-body arc tube
combined with new, more efficient low current crest factor ballasts using high
voltage ignitors provides higher light levels initially (20% more) and
significantly more maintained light over time (40% more) than today’s standard
metal halide.
Many of Venture’s Uni-Form pulse
start lamps can be used horizontally, too, giving 20% more initial lumens than
standard, universal technology.
Longer Life
The Uni-Form pulse start system offers up to
50% longer lamp life because of less electrode damage, reduced arc tube
darkening, and improved lumen maintenance. The direct benefits are lower
replacement costs and reduced lifetime operating cost.
A Light Word
Using Venture’s 15,000 hour Uni-Form
pulse start lamps (150, 175, 200 or 250 W) means relamping less often - labor
savings pay for lamp replacement over system life.
Superior Lumen Maintenance
The combination of the Uni-Form formed body arc tube, pulse start ignitor, and low current crest factor ballast results in higher maintained lumens over the entire life of the lamp. The end result is a dramatic improvement in design or mean lumens. The light output stays bright even after thousands of hours!

Faster Warm-up/ Hot Restrike
The Uni-Form pulse start system combines ignitor starting and improved arc tube design with higher gas fill pressures to provide initial warm up and hot restrike in 60% less time.
Color
Uniformity
Because of the uniform wall thickness and the consistency of shape obtained with Venture’s unique quartz sculpting process, all arc tube chambers are identical in thermal characteristics, resulting in consistent halide temperatures. this ensures minimal variation in lamp color as well as higher light output.
The external ignitor and the Uni-Form formed
body arc tube combine to allow better starting in colder conditions, down to
-40°C. Quicker breakdown of gases and higher fill pressures result in reliable
starting, even in cold weather applications such as cold storage or freezer
warehouses.
The Uni-Form pulse start system delivers more
light with lower energy usage. When compared to standard metal halide
technology, Uni-Form pulse start offers up to 50% improvement in system
lumens per watt. In addition, the use of Uni-Form pulse start reactor
ballasts reduces energy losses by more than 50%.
