GE 15482 Q20A/PAR56/C Quartzline® PAR56 Airport & Airfield Lamp - 300W 20A Sealed Beam PAR56, GX16d Mogul End Prong, Teflon Coated, 500hr Life

The GE 15482 Q20A/PAR56/C is a GE Quartzline® sealed-beam PAR56 lamp built for airport and airfield lighting systems. It is rated at 300W on a 20A constant-current series airfield circuit, with a GX16d Mogul End Prong base and a Teflon-coated bulb, and is rated for a universal burning position (any orientation).

This product should be selected by matching the GE order code, wattage, current rating, base type, and lamp shape to the installed fixture. Airfield lamps are frequently used in constant-current series airfield lighting circuits, so compatibility should be confirmed before ordering.

Product Overview

GE airport and airfield lamps are used in specialized visual guidance fixtures where lamp substitution can affect optical output, beam placement, maintenance intervals, and fixture performance. For best results, replace like-for-like using the exact lamp code and fixture documentation.

These lamps are commonly used across constant-current and constant-voltage airport lighting systems, including runway, taxiway, approach, beacon, obstruction, and guidance-sign equipment.

Technical Specifications

Key Features

• FAA/ICAO fixture maintenance programs where the fixture calls for this exact lamp type

Before Ordering Verify

• GE Order Code: Confirm the installed lamp or fixture documentation calls for GE 15482 / Q20A/PAR56/C.
• Electrical Rating: Confirm the fixture operates on a 20A series circuit and is not a different airfield circuit type.
• Wattage: Confirm the fixture is rated for 300W operation.
• Base Type: Confirm the socket or connector matches GX16d Mogul End Prong.
• Burn Position: This lamp is rated for universal burning position (any orientation), so this should not restrict fixture placement.
• Physical Fit: Verify MOL (5.00 in) and 7.00 in bulb diameter against fixture clearance before ordering. LCL is not published by GE for this SKU — confirm fit directly if the fixture is LCL-sensitive.

Safety & Installation Guidelines

• Risk of Breakage: Lamp may shatter and cause injury if broken — do not use if the outer glass is scratched or broken.
• Risk of Burn: Allow the lamp to cool before handling.
• UV Exposure: A damaged lamp emits UV radiation that may cause eye or skin injury — turn off power if the glass bulb is broken, and remove and dispose of the lamp.
• Voltage Limit: Unexpected lamp rupture may cause injury, fire, or property damage — do not exceed 110% of rated voltage, and do not use the lamp if the outer glass is scratched or broken.
• Fire Risk: Keep combustible materials away from the lamp, and use only in a fixture rated for this product.
• Qualified Installation: Airport, airfield, and aviation lamps should be installed by qualified maintenance personnel following fixture and site procedures, with power de-energized and locked out before servicing.
