Are Metal Halide lamps dangerous? (2025 Update)

May 03, 2019 Last reply: 8 months ago 0 Replies

I retrieved some nice 1kW High Bay lamps from Dump. I am going to retrofit them with LEDs for my shop. I am a little nervous about removing the metal halide lamps. It seems the first one had become a little loose form it's socket. I am wondering if the bulb is fractured when I try to remove if it will explode.



I post this here because there is a lot of general knowledge between you all.
