About the Philips Metal Halide Floodlighting Lamps

Philips metal halide floodlighting lamps are the industry standard for professional sports lighting, stadium lighting and arena floodlighting across the UK and worldwide. The Philips MASTER MHN and HPI-T ranges deliver high-lumen output from 990W to 2100W, engineered specifically for sports floodlighting applications including football stadiums, athletics tracks, rugby grounds, cricket pitches, tennis courts and indoor sports halls.

The Philips MASTER MHN-LA series (1000W and 2000W, X528 double-pinch cap) offers cool white 4200K output with up to 15,000 hours life, making it the preferred choice for general sports floodlighting and stadium lighting where long maintenance intervals are essential. The MHN-LA 1000W is widely used in football pitch floodlighting and athletics track lighting, while the MHN-LA 2000W is specified for large stadium and arena floodlighting installations.

The Philips MASTER MHN-SA, MHN-SE and MHN-SB 2000W lamps deliver 5600K daylight output specifically for HDTV sports broadcasting applications. These daylight metal halide lamps provide the high colour rendering and colour temperature required by broadcast cameras for football, rugby, athletics and other televised sports events. The MHN-SA uses an X830R cap, the MHN-SE uses a GX22 cap, and the MHN-SB uses a cable connection, covering the full range of stadium floodlight luminaire designs.

The Philips MASTER MHN-FC 2000W is a double-ended metal halide lamp for floodlight luminaires requiring a linear lamp geometry, commonly used in sports hall lighting and indoor arena floodlighting where a compact double-ended format is preferred. With 12,000 hour life and 4000K cool white output, the MHN-FC is ideal for indoor sports facilities and training venues.

The Philips HPI-T 1000W/543 and HPI-T 2000W/542 and 2000W/646 are quartz metal halide lamps with standard E40 caps, designed for use with control gear originally intended for high-pressure mercury lamps. This makes the HPI-T range a direct retrofit for existing mercury vapour floodlighting installations, offering a cost-effective upgrade to metal halide output without replacing the luminaire or control gear. The HPI-T 1000W and 2000W are widely used in industrial high-bay lighting, warehouse lighting and outdoor area floodlighting as well as sports field lighting.
