the highest wattage i would use Plastic Lenses with is 175...even then i feel kinda sketchy about them but 250 Watts?!
streetlight98   [Sep 24, 2011 at 11:12 PM]
I'd say 150w MAX. 175 can be too much sometimes.

I'd say just avoid using plastic lenses, my area is 99% glass even for 70w HPS lights.

In ideal situations, yes i think glass is better. It can withstand heat, lamp explosions, and it has a longer service life. Plastic is OK though on small wattage fixtures. i'd personally only use plastic on 50-150w HPS fixtures. If the MH lamp goes boom, the plastic is doomed.

250 watt HPS streetlights should only have glass refractors.

200 watts and up - only glass, under 175 watt could have plastic lenses but glass is better.

i wouldn't use plastic on any metal halide fixture (exept CMH) because I'd fear of the refractor melting.

All our metal halide fixtures my company installs have glass lens.

GE only allows glass for MH. AEL allows polycarbonate and glass, and Cooper allows acrylic, poly and glass for MH.

i recall seeing an Exploded 400 Watt CMH on some forum...so i think CMH explosion risk is low but dont rule it out.
