Philips CDM-TD 150W Metal Halide Lamp

This Philips CDM-TD 150W/830 RX7s double-ended metal halide bulb delivers 12750 lumens at a warm 3000K colour temperature. It operates on an ANSI C142/E ballast and has a rated life of 16000 hours. The compact 5.41 inch length and 0.86 inch diameter suit compatible enclosed fixtures.

Suits commercial or retail display lighting

Buyers requiring a single-ended base, a different colour temperature, or higher colour rendering than CRI 88 should look at other options. It is not for residential sockets without the correct ANSI C142/E ballast and fixture. The double-ended RX7s base limits direct replacement use.

Fits fixtures accepting RX7s double-ended lamps

Installation requires a compatible ballast and enclosed fixture rated for high intensity discharge lamps. Handle the quartz envelope with clean gloves to avoid contamination. Incorrect ballast matching or open-fixture use are the most common causes of premature failure.

Questions about this item

What ballast rating must the fixture provide for this 150W CDM-TD lamp to operate?

The lamp requires an ANSI C142/E ballast rated for 150W metal halide operation.

Will the RX7s base fit the ceramic sockets in my older 150W double-ended fixture?

Yes, the double-ended RX7s base with 22mm diameter matches standard ceramic sockets used for 150W CDM-TD lamps.

How can I confirm the bulb is delivering its rated 12750 lumen output after installation?

A warm-up period of several minutes followed by a lux-meter reading at the target distance should match the 12750 lumen specification at 3000K.
