GE 250 W High-Pressure Sodium Bulb

The GE 76204 is a 250-watt high-pressure sodium lamp designed for standard fixtures with an E40 mogul screw base. It produces warm white light at 2100 K and carries a rated life of 24000 hours for extended service intervals.

Suits industrial or outdoor lighting where warm

This bulb fits users who need high-output sodium illumination in compatible E40 sockets. Buyers who require accurate colour rendering should look elsewhere because the CRI is only 22. Those needing instant restrike or different base types must choose another product.

E40 mogul screw base determines fixture

The lamp uses an E40 base designated S50, so it only works in sockets built for that specific fitting. Verify the fixture base before purchase because an incorrect match will prevent installation.

Questions about this item

Does the GE 76204 package include a ballast or must I buy one separately?

This 250 W high-pressure sodium lamp requires a compatible S50 ballast and an E40 mogul-base socket, neither of which are included in the box.

How do I know this GE 76204 is the right version for my fixture?

Match the E40 base, 250 watt rating, S50 ANSI code and ED18 envelope shape to your fixture’s label; those four identifiers confirm correct fit.

What does the 24000-hour life rating mean for daily operation?

At twelve hours per day the rated 24000 hours equals roughly five and a half years before lumen output drops below useful levels.
