Product Description

The PHILLIPS mhc100/u/m/4kelite429886 is a BD17-shaped metal halide lamp designed for commercial and industrial lighting applications. With a clear finish and a diameter of 2.125 inches and an overall length of 5.438 inches, this single-ended lamp fits E26 and E27 medium screw bases. Its universal burning position makes it a flexible choice for a wide range of fixture orientations. Licensed electricians and lighting technicians typically specify and install this type of high-intensity discharge lamp where consistent, high-output illumination is required.

This lamp is suited for indoor and outdoor commercial lighting systems including retail, warehouse, and industrial environments.

Installation Notes

Metal halide lamps should be installed by a qualified electrician. Always de-energize the fixture and allow the existing lamp to cool completely before handling, as operating temperatures are extremely high. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when handling the lamp, and confirm the fixture is rated for metal halide operation before installation. Consult local electrical codes and the NEC for proper HID lamp installation requirements.
