G E Lighting 97670 50W T3 Quartz Halogen Lamp 12V

Product Description

The G E LIGHTING 97670 is a 50-watt T3 quartz halogen lamp designed for low-voltage lighting applications requiring a compact, high-output light source. This lamp operates at 12 volts and delivers 950 lumens through a C-6 filament, making it well-suited for accent, display, and task lighting fixtures. The GY6.35 two-pin base provides a secure, positive-locking connection. Rated at 2000 hours of lamp life, the 97670 offers a reliable service interval for installations where frequent relamping is disruptive. Licensed electricians and lighting maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this lamp type.

This lamp fits recessed downlights, track lighting heads, under-cabinet fixtures, and specialty display luminaires that accept a T3 GY6.35 base at 12 volts. It is commonly found in residential and light commercial settings, including retail display cases, cove lighting, and low-voltage landscape or accent systems. The lamp ships in a carded retail pack with a package quantity of 5, making it practical for service calls requiring multiple replacements.

Installation Notes

Always de-energize the fixture and allow the existing lamp to cool completely before handling. Quartz halogen lamps are sensitive to skin oils — use the packaging or clean cotton gloves when handling the bulb envelope to avoid premature failure from surface contamination. Verify that the supply transformer is rated for 12-volt low-voltage operation and that the socket contacts are clean and undamaged before inserting the replacement lamp. Installation should comply with applicable NEC requirements for low-voltage lighting systems.
