GE 72548 200W PS30 Incandescent Bulb
The GE 72548 is a 200-watt PS30 incandescent bulb with an inside frost finish and a protective Teflon coating. It operates at 130/120 volts and delivers 3240/2495 lumens depending on the voltage applied. The shatter-resistant design contains glass fragments if the bulb breaks. This unit is sold individually for standard medium-base sockets.
Suited for rough-service and enclosed fixtures
The heavy-duty, all-weather construction protects against shattering, rain breakage, and splatter from oil or lubricants. It fits kitchens, basements, garages, workshops, and enclosed exterior fixtures where durability matters. Buyers needing lower wattage, longer rated life, or higher energy efficiency should consider alternative lighting technologies. The PS30 size requires a compatible fixture.
Sustained output with voltage-dependent life
At 130 volts the bulb uses 200 watts and produces 3240 lumens with a rated life of 0.9 years at three hours daily use. At 120 volts it draws 177 watts for 2495 lumens and lasts 2.4 years under the same usage pattern. Light output and power draw remain steady throughout the rated lifetime. The protective coating does not degrade under continuous operation.
