Philips 35 W Metal Halide Lamp

The Philips CDM35/TC/830 is a 35-watt high intensity discharge lamp with a G8.5 2-pin base. It produces an initial output of 3300 lumens and a mean output of 2300 lumens at a warm 3000K colour temperature. The lamp carries a colour rendering index of 81 and an average rated life of 12000 hours.

Ideal for Commercial Display Lighting

This lamp suits retail displays, accent lighting and enclosed fixtures requiring warm white light with good colour fidelity from a compact single-ended source. It is not for buyers needing a standard screw-in base for domestic table lamps or those requiring instant restrike capability after a power interruption.

G8.5 Base and C130/E Ballast Compatibility

The G8.5 2-pin base requires a compatible C130/E ballast and a fixture designed for this specific single-ended format. Verify that the ballast and holder match these codes before purchase, as the lamp will not operate with other base types or ballast configurations.

Questions about this item

Will the G8.5 2-pin base fit my existing C130/E ballast for a 35 W metal-halide fixture?

Yes — the bulb uses a G8.5 single-ended 2-pin base and is rated for ANSI ballast code C130/E, so it matches the ballast you already have.

How can I confirm the lamp is performing correctly once installed?

A healthy lamp should start within a few seconds, reach its 3300 initial lumen output at 3000 K, and maintain roughly 2300 mean lumens with a CRI of 81 during its 12000-hour rated life.

Does the box include a ballast or only the CDM35/TC/830 bulb?

Only the 35 W MasterColor CDM35/TC/830 lamp is supplied; the matching C130/E ballast and any fixture hardware must be purchased separately.
