Talk:Ceramic metal-halide lamp

message: Everywhere I've seen people talk about these lamps, the name has been Ceramic Metal Halide. CMH. The "discharge" part is useless, it just refers to high-intensity discharge (HID), which is the operating principle. This is a variation of metal halide lamps, and the discharge part should be removed. A simple web search also agrees with this view; "ceramic discharge metal halide" has almost no hits compared to "ceramic metal halide". Also, it should be added on the "CMH" page. I don't know how to edit all the stuff removing the word discharge, so somebody please do it. — 62.240.92.209 (talk) 10:52, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  CMH instead of CDM? 

message: A metal halide lamp works on basis of metal halides, not mercury and a noble gas. This should be reflected in the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.245.0.98 (talk • contribs).
:Well, you might want to read this before you go off editing the article.

replies: text: Uh yes, this article totally forgot about the fact that metal halide lamps use metal halides to make light.  The mercury and argon is used for easy starting only to get the lamp started and warming up when switched on cold.  66.114.93.6 06:06, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Operating principle? 

message: I have removed the following paragraph from the end of the article for the time being because it reads like a how-to guide (“Wikipedia is not a manual, guidebook, or textbook”) and because it seems quite out of place in the surrounding text, topic-wise.
Note: The igniters for the CMH lamps (the part that pulses electricity to the ballast to start the 'arc' across the lamp) are rated differently from that of a standard MH HQI lamp. Should you replace a faulty ignitor (usually a white plastic cased or bare aluminium cased part in the light fitting) with the incorrect ignitor the lamp will not strike.

The result of the move request was: page moved. Keeping metal-halide hyphenated, for consistency with the metal-halide lamp article. –  wbm1058 (talk) 15:41, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Ceramic discharge metal-halide lamp →  – I ask to move the article to "Ceramic metal halide lamp", because the current name it wrong. It is comes from the trademark of Philips lighting of these lamps, "CDM", so it is wrong. זור987 (talk) 09:47, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

text: I support the proposed move. A quick review of the references cited in the article indicates that "ceramic metal halide lamp" is the common name for this technology and that CDM is one vendor's trade name for it, as זור987 pointed out. After the move, the lede should still mention both names, since some users will come here looking for CDM.--Srleffler (talk) 17:16, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
