GE 43272 CMH35/T/UVC/U/830/G12

The GE ConstantColor 43272 CMH35/T/UVC/U/830/G12 PLUS Lamp is a premium 35-watt ceramic metal halide (CMH) single-ended capsule engineered for high-performance retail display, accent spotlights, and architectural track configurations. Delivering a brilliant 3,400 initial lumens of an Elite-level 3000K warm white spectrum, this high-efficacy lamp utilizes advanced ceramic arc tube chemistry to guarantee superior color rendering (80+ CRI) and long-term color stability. Outfitted with a premium G12 bi-pin ceramic base and an integrated UV-blocking quartz envelope, it offers an extended 12,000-hour rated service life.

ADL Supply Expert Application & Replacement Guide

The GE CMH35/T/UVC/U/830/G12 PLUS is a commercial-grade lighting solution specifically deployed across high-end retail apparel boutiques, jewelry display cases, art galleries, and upscale hospitality downlights. By incorporating an advanced ceramic discharge arc tube, this capsule maintains exceptional lumen preservation and resists color-shifting over its lifespan—ensuring that structural architectural textures and merchandise colors remain vibrant and visually true under daily operational stress.

Critical Hardware and Fixture Safety Requirements: This unshielded HID capsule carries a strict ANSI Enclosed-Fixture Rating (M130/E). National electrical and building codes mandate its installation exclusively inside fully enclosed luminaires outfitted with tempered, thermal-shock-resistant glass lenses. Electrical contractors must ensure that control networks utilize a dedicated **ANSI M130 pulse-start ballast** equipped with a 4,000V pulse-rated socket structure. Running this lamp on non-compliant legacy ballasts will cause severe current fluctuations, leading to immediate cathode failure or catastrophic arc tube degradation in the field.

Operation, Safety & Mounting Compliance

Warm-Up, Cooldown, and Hot Restrike Cycles

Following a cold startup sequence, this high-intensity discharge lamp requires an initialization window of 2 to 5 minutes to fully vaporize internal halide salts and stabilize its core electrical arc path. In the event of a brief voltage drop or structural circuit interruption, a hot restrike safety delay of 7 to 12 minutes is strictly required. This allows internal operating pressures to equalize completely before the pulse-start electronic ignitor can safely re-fire the lamp capsule.

Integrated Ultraviolet Radiation Shielding

This single-ended source features advanced UV-Control (UVC) quartz glass fabrication designed to significantly reduce ultraviolet output, preventing the premature fading of sensitive fabrics, museum paper archives, and retail showroom inventory. Never operate this bulb if the outer glass jacket becomes cracked, chipped, or scratched. Permitting a fractured lamp to run introduces severe life-safety hazards, including acute eye tissue inflammation and localized skin burns from raw, unfiltered UV leakage.permitting skin oils to deposit on the shell creates localized hotspots that cause rapid micro-fractures; always handle using a clean cloth or gloves during re-lamping sweeps.
