G E Lighting 97665 Quartz Halogen Lamp 50W T4 G8 Base

Product Description

The G E LIGHTING 97665 is a 50-watt quartz halogen lamp designed for use in light fixtures that accept a T4 bulb with a 2-pin G8 base. Operating at 120 volts, this lamp uses a CC-2V filament design and delivers a rated service life of 1,500 hours. The maximum overall length (MOL) is 1.77 inches, and the light center length (LCL) is 1.34 inches, making it a compact source suited for undercabinet fixtures, range hoods, display lighting, and similar close-clearance applications. Licensed electricians and lighting technicians are the typical installers for commercial and residential fixture maintenance.

This lamp is suited for residential and light commercial environments where a compact, high-output halogen source is required. Common applications include undercabinet task lighting, range hood fixtures, accent and display lighting, and decorative pendant fixtures that specify a T4 form factor with a G8 base. The compact T4 envelope and short MOL of 1.77 inches allow it to fit into space-constrained sockets. This lamp is sold in a package quantity of 5 units.

• CC-2V filament design for consistent light output

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or lighting technician following NEC guidelines. Always disconnect power at the circuit breaker before replacing the lamp. Do not touch the quartz glass envelope with bare skin — use a clean cloth or the lamp packaging to handle it, as oils from skin contact will cause hot spots that shorten lamp life and can crack the envelope. Allow the fixture to cool completely before servicing if the lamp has been in operation.
