G E Lighting 37771 250W Red Infrared Heat Reflector Bulb

Product Description

The G E LIGHTING 37771 is a 250-watt infrared heat reflector light bulb rated at 120 volts, designed to deliver both radiant heat and red-spectrum light in a single R40 form factor. Built with heat-resistant Pyrex glass, the bulb withstands the thermal stress of continuous high-wattage operation. With an output of 2,200 lumens and a rated lifespan of 5,000 hours, this bulb is suited for applications where consistent, long-running heat output is required. It installs in a standard medium base socket, making it compatible with a wide range of existing fixtures. Licensed electricians and qualified technicians are the typical installers.

This bulb is commonly used in food service heat lamps, brooder lighting for poultry and livestock, reptile enclosures, and industrial warming applications. The red filter reduces visible light interference while maintaining full infrared heat output, making it appropriate for settings where ambient light disruption is a concern. The R40 reflector shape directs heat downward efficiently. The maximum overall length is 6-9/16 inches, which should be verified against fixture clearance before installation. This product is sold in a package quantity of six units.

Key Features

• 250-watt infrared output delivers consistent radiant heat for food service, agricultural, and industrial warming applications
• Heat-resistant Pyrex glass construction handles sustained high-temperature operation
• Red-filtered R40 reflector directs infrared heat while minimizing visible light output
• Standard medium base fits widely available heat lamp fixtures without adapters
• Rated 5,000-hour lifespan reduces replacement frequency in continuous-duty environments
• 2,200 lumens output with 120-volt rating for standard single-phase circuits

Compatibility

Designed as a direct replacement for medium-base R40 infrared heat reflector sockets rated for 250 watts at 120 volts, including standard food service heat lamp fixtures and agricultural brooder housings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or trained technician in compliance with applicable NEC requirements. Always de-energize the fixture and allow the existing bulb to cool completely before handling. Verify that the fixture is rated for 250 watts at 120 volts and that the socket is a medium-base type before installing. Do not exceed the wattage rating of the fixture, and ensure adequate clearance from combustible materials given the high operating temperature of this bulb.
