Hi Venket:

As such, I address them separately...

Nag, Thanks for your input. I really get lost with the plethora of acronyms the regulars use.
My humble contribution relating to lighting:
MH - Metal Halide
CFL - Compact fluorescent lamp (has a built in ballast)
PLL - PL type CFLs (PL stands for Philips Lighting). Differ from regular CFL in that these need external ballasts.
WPG - Watts Per Gallon
HO - High Output
Regards

Hey Krishnadas

Looks like you are browsing through topics on IAH, which is good, there is tons of information in there. But try avoiding digging up such old threads, This thread is nearly 7 Years old. |
