Osram MP150/U/MED 150W ED17 Metal Halide Lamp E26 Medium Base

Product Description

The OSRAM MP150/U/MED is a 150-watt pulse-start metal halide lamp in an ED17 envelope with an E26 medium base. It delivers an initial output of 12,900 lumens and a mean output of 6,550 lumens, with a correlated color temperature of 3000 K and a color rendering index of 70. The lamp operates on an M102/O ANSI-rated ballast and accepts universal burn position, making it adaptable to a wide range of fixture orientations. It is designed for commercial and industrial applications and is typically installed by licensed electricians or qualified lighting maintenance technicians.

This lamp is suited for ambient, industrial, retail, floodlight, lobby, atrium, mall, parking lot, and security lighting installations. The ED17 shape and E26 medium base allow it to retrofit into standard medium-socket fixtures. The METALARC PRO-TECH design incorporates a glass shroud for UV reduction and lamp containment, qualifying it for use in both open and enclosed fixtures. For open fixtures, an exclusionary medium socket rated for 50 to 150 watts is required when using open-rated lamps.

Key Features

• 150-watt pulse-start metal halide with 12,900 initial lumens and 6,550 mean lumens
• ED17 envelope with glass shroud provides UV reduction and lamp fragment containment
• Universal burn position supports vertical and horizontal mounting flexibility
• Rated lamp life of 15,000 hours vertical and 10,000 hours horizontal
• Compatible with open and enclosed fixtures; open fixtures require a dedicated exclusionary E26 socket
• Retrofits into standard E26 medium-base sockets, reducing luminaire replacement costs

Compatibility

Designed for use with M102/O ANSI-rated ballasts in open or enclosed fixtures accepting an E26 medium base. Open-fixture installations require a dedicated exclusionary medium socket rated for 50 to 150 watts with open-rated lamps.

Installation Notes

Installation and lamp replacement should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified lighting maintenance technician. De-energize the fixture and allow it to cool completely before handling, as metal halide lamps retain heat for an extended period after shutoff. Allow 2 to 4 minutes warm-up time for the lamp to reach full output, and plan for a 5 to 7 minute hot restrike delay following a power interruption. Verify ballast ANSI compatibility and fixture ratings before installation.
