Another one of your sodium lamps featuring the 2-piece arc tube. I also like its light color, that's quite typical of low-wattage Super HPS lamps. That's why I prefer them to their larger variants - their light color output is less affected by the high xenon fill pressure, so they do not show the ugly yellow shift that is usually associated with this particular type of HPS lamps. The worst offenders of all are the mercury-free sodium lamps... I really can't stand their yellow light color. The orange tone of mercury-containing HPS lamps feels more natural, its more like an incandescent radiator at a really low temperature.
