MVR175/VBU/PA Metal Halide HID Bulb

The Current MVR175/VBU/PA is a 175 W pulse arc metal halide HID bulb built for vertical base-up operation within fifteen degrees. It uses a mogul screw E39 base and an ED23.5 clear envelope with a three-inch diameter and 7.5-inch overall length.

Operating Position and Rated Life Limits

The lamp is rated for 15,000 hours only when installed vertically base up within the stated fifteen-degree tolerance; tilting beyond that angle will shorten life and may cause premature failure. The pulse arc design requires a compatible ballast that can deliver the proper starting pulse and sustained arc current.

17,500 Lumen Output at 4200K

This model delivers 17,500 lumens at a 4200 K colour temperature with a CRI of 75, making it suitable for high-output industrial or outdoor fixtures where that specific lumen package and colour appearance are required. Buyers needing a different lumen level, colour temperature or base type should select another lamp.

Should I choose the vertical base-up version or another operating position for my fixture?

This bulb is rated for vertical base-up operation within fifteen degrees, so select it only if your fixture holds the lamp in that orientation.

What does the 17,500 lumen rating mean once the bulb is installed in a real fixture?

The lamp delivers 17,500 initial lumens at 4200K with a CRI of 75, providing high-output cool-white light for the rated 15,000-hour life.

Does the mogul screw E39 base limit the wattage or ballast I can use with this 175W metal halide bulb?

The E39 base is standard for 175W pulse-arc metal halide lamps; it accepts the matching ANSI ballast for this wattage and arc technology.
