Metal Halide Systems
For more than 20 years, special metal halide lamps (such as the SolarModul 4000) have been an accepted radiation source for "full-spectrum" solar simulation systems. Widely used throughout the automotive industry and their suppliers, these systems are gaining importance through two main applications: aging tests for components made from several materials and solar heat load tests used research and development of air conditioning systems.

To fulfill those demands for solar simulation, metal halide lamps are carefully checked for their electrical and optical characteristics and individually measured for their spectral power distribution to become MHG (Metal Halide Global) lamps for solar simulation use. In combination with suitable filters, optical systems and electronic supplies, they provide a spectral power distribution that closely matches solar radiation.
