Philips 360248 50 W Metal Halide Bulb

The Philips 360248 is a 50 W high-intensity discharge lamp delivering 3600 lumens at 4000 K with a rated life of 20000 hours. It suits commercial or industrial fixtures that require an enclosed E-rated CDM light source.

Installation requires a compatible ballast

The bulb works with existing ballasts so no rewiring is needed, but it must operate inside a suitable enclosed luminaire. Using it in an open fixture or with an incompatible ballast will cause premature failure or safety hazards.
