G E Lighting 30951 175W Metal Halide Lamp Mogul Base

Product Description

The G E LIGHTING 30951 is a 175-watt clear multi-vapor metal halide lamp designed for high-intensity discharge (HID) lighting systems in commercial, industrial, and institutional applications. Operating at a color temperature of 4000 Kelvin with a CRI of 65, it delivers 13,600 lumens of bright, white light suited for large open spaces. The lamp carries an M57 ANSI ballast designation and features a mogul base for use in standard HID fixtures. With a rated lamp life of 10,000 hours and 90% lumen maintenance at 50% of rated life, it provides consistent output over an extended service interval. Electricians and lighting contractors are the primary trade installers for this lamp type.

This lamp is suited for commercial interiors, warehouses, gymnasiums, retail spaces, and outdoor area lighting where high lumen output and long service life are priorities. The universal burn position allows installation in any fixture orientation, and compatibility with both open and enclosed fixture types expands its application range. The 4000K color temperature provides a neutral white output appropriate for task and ambient lighting in high-bay and mid-bay environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. Always de-energize the fixture and allow the existing lamp to cool completely before handling, as metal halide lamps operate at high internal pressure and temperature. Mogul base lamps require firm seating in the socket to ensure proper electrical contact. Allow full warm-up time before evaluating lumen output, as metal halide lamps require several minutes to reach full brightness after ignition.
