These lamps are mostly suited for outdoor applications as well as special purpose lighting in technical or scientific circumstances, due to the near monochromatic light that is being emitted and the well-known, very closely spaced, doublet of sodium vapour discharge.
In starglazing, these lamps were appreciated due to the fact that their light is easy to filter out. As a security light, or as a light source on pedestrian or car traffic, they are fine. These lamps release low amounts of heat so they are better suited for enclosed fixtures. Most of the time, however, such lamps can be used on outdoor areas, especially since they attract less insects in the summer months and they are not affected by light scattering in foggy or snowy weather.
