Product Description

The Philips 313585 is a switch-start metal halide HID lamp rated at up to 100 lumens per watt, designed for high-efficiency, long-life general and commercial lighting applications. Sold as a 12-pack under the MH175UM designation, this compact lamp delivers crisp, high-quality white light suited to demanding commercial and industrial environments. It operates on a standard switch-start ballast circuit and is built for consistent output over extended service intervals. Licensed electricians and lighting contractors typically specify this lamp for new installations and retrofits in high-bay and low-bay fixtures.

This lamp is well matched to industrial and retail facilities where high-bay and low-bay luminaires are common, including warehouses, manufacturing floors, big-box retail interiors, and parking lot area lighting.
