GE Lighting HID Lamp LU250/H/ECO 250W High Pressure Sodium ED18 Mogul Screw (E39) 28000 lm 2100K 24000 hr

GE Lighting 250 W High Pressure Sodium ED18

The GE Lighting HID lamp is a 250 watt high pressure sodium bulb with an ED18 glass envelope and a mogul screw E39 base. It produces 28000 lumens at a warm 2100 Kelvin colour temperature and carries a rated life of 24000 hours. The clear finish and universal burning position suit enclosed fixtures in outdoor and industrial settings.

Suits enclosed fixtures needing high output

This lamp fits users who require intense amber light from a single 250 watt source in enclosed luminaires that accept an E39 base. It is not for buyers who need a dimmable bulb, a high colour rendering index above 22, or a lamp that operates on direct mains voltage without a compatible ballast. Shoppers wanting white light or instant restrike should look at alternative technologies.

Key spec is the ANSI S50 ballast match

The decisive specification is the ANSI S50 designation, which means the bulb must be paired with a ballast rated to the same code for safe ignition and stable operation. Using a mismatched ballast will prevent starting or shorten the 24000 hour rated life. Confirm the fixture ballast label reads S50 before purchase.
