Technical Specifications

Product Overview

The GE ESJ is a precision halogen photo-optic reflector lamp engineered for specialty optical and technical applications. The MR16 multifaceted reflector design provides accurate beam control and consistent light output at the 32.0mm working light distance, making it well suited for photo-optic equipment, projection systems, medical instrumentation, and display lighting where lamp-to-optic positioning must be exact.

This lamp operates at 82V — confirm your fixture or power supply is rated for this voltage before ordering. The CC-8 filament and GY5.3 2-pin oval base are standard identifiers for this ANSI ESJ lamp; always cross-reference by ANSI code when ordering replacements.

⚠ Enclosed Fixture Required: This lamp must only be installed in approved enclosed halogen fixtures. Open fixture use is not permitted.

Burn Position Restriction: Base Down or Horizontal only. Do not operate in base-up or tilted positions outside this range.

Compatible Applications

• Photo-optic equipment — Cameras, film projectors, and precision optical instruments requiring an ESJ lamp.
• Projection systems — Slide, overhead, and specialty projection equipment.
• Medical and scientific lighting — Instruments and equipment requiring controlled, accurate illumination at a defined working distance.
• Display and specialty lighting — Optical display fixtures and specialty enclosed halogen systems.

Before Ordering — Verify

• ANSI Code: Confirm the existing lamp or equipment manual matches ESJ.
• Voltage: Confirm the fixture or power supply is rated for 82V operation.
• Wattage: Confirm the fixture is rated for 85W.
• Base Type: Confirm the socket matches GY5.3 2-Pin Oval.
• Burn Position: Confirm the fixture supports Base Down or Horizontal operation only.
• Working Distance: Confirm your optical system is designed for a 32.0mm working light distance.
• Physical Fit: Confirm 44.5mm MOL and 50.67mm diameter fit within your fixture's clearance.

Safety and Handling Guidelines

• Approved Enclosed Fixtures Only: This lamp must be used exclusively in fixtures approved for enclosed halogen operation. Never install in open fixtures.
• Do not touch the quartz envelope with bare hands. Skin oils cause hot spots that can lead to premature failure or lamp burst. Use clean gloves or a lint-free cloth. If accidentally touched, clean with isopropyl alcohol before use.
• Burn Position: Operate Base Down or Horizontal only. Operating outside the specified burn position can result in premature failure or safety hazard.
• Allow Cooling: Allow the lamp and fixture to cool fully before handling or relamping. Halogen lamps operate at very high surface temperatures.
• Correct Voltage Required: Use only with equipment rated for 82V. Incorrect voltage will reduce lamp life or cause immediate failure.

Compliance

• Verify RoHS compliance status and additional certifications with the GE manufacturer specification sheet prior to use in regulated installations.
• For use only in approved enclosed halogen fixtures per applicable safety codes.
