Philips 35W Metal Halide G12

The Philips CDM35/T6/830 is a 35 watt metal halide lamp with a G12 two-pin base designed for high intensity discharge fixtures. It delivers 3150 lumens at a warm white 3000K colour temperature and carries an 81 CRI rating for acceptable colour rendering in commercial and retail settings. Average rated life is 12000 hours, reducing relamp frequency in maintained installations. The ANSI code C130/E restricts use to enclosed fixtures only.

Suited for enclosed commercial fixtures

This lamp fits retailers, galleries and display areas that require warm white output from a compact T6 envelope in an enclosed luminaire. It is not suitable for open fixtures because the ANSI code mandates enclosed operation. Buyers needing higher lumen packages, different colour temperatures or a base type other than G12 should look elsewhere. The 81 CRI may not meet demands for critical colour evaluation tasks.

ANSI code C130/E enclosed fixture only

The single specification that decides fitment is the ANSI designation C130/E, which requires the lamp to be operated exclusively within a fully enclosed fixture. Ignoring this requirement creates a safety hazard and voids the lamp's certified operating conditions. Verify that the intended luminaire is rated for enclosed use before purchase.

Questions about this item

What is included with the Philips CDM35/T6/830 bulb and what must be purchased separately?

The package contains the 35W metal halide lamp with G12 base; a compatible G12 socket, enclosed fixture rated for ANSI C130/E and appropriate ballast must be supplied separately.

Which version should I choose between the listed lumen figures?

The lamp delivers 3300 initial lumens and is rated at 3150 lumens in the lumen range; both refer to the same 35W 3000K model so no alternative version exists.

What does the 12000-hour lifetime mean in daily use?

At 12 hours per day the rated 12000 hours equals roughly 2.7 years before replacement is needed.
