Lighting Guide
We now have a variety of security lights available. Security lights come in different wattages and types. Three types of security lighting options are available.

Mercury Vapor (MV) - Purple to bluish in appearance, these are the current workhorse in the utility industry. What most people now refer to as "streetlights", these are available in 175-watt and 400-watt fixtures.
Metal Halide (MH) - These are the lights normally used at sporting events. They are a bright light and show colors well. These are available only in 400-watt fixtures.
High Pressure Sodium (HPS) - These are bright yellow lights used primarily in parking lots. These are available only in 400-watt fixtures.
