Product Overview

The GE LU100/SBY/XL/ECO is a 100-watt Ecolux® Standby Longlife TCLP-compliant HPS lamp with dual arc tubes. It ships with a ED23.5 bulb envelope on a E39 Mogul Screw base and is built to operate on an HPS ballast rated ANSI S54. Output is 9,200 initial lumens (8,190 mean lumens) at 2000K and 22 CRI, with a warm amber HPS color.

Standby Longlife lamps contain an extra arc tube that provides light instantly after a momentary power interruption and returns to 80% light output in 1–2 minutes. They operate on standard HPS ballasts and auxiliary equipment and use a lead-free base that passes TCLP.

Not recommended for: retail displays, color-critical inspection environments, or any application requiring CRI above 22.

Compatible Applications

Typical uses (per GE): Industrial, roadway, security, and hard-to-reach sockets.
Fixtures wired for an HPS ballast rated ANSI S54 with a E39 Mogul Screw socket.
Direct replacement for existing 100W HPS lamps with the same base and ballast rating. Verify ballast compatibility before ordering.
Burning position: U (Universal — any burning position).

Before Ordering — Verify

ANSI / Ballast Code: Confirm the existing lamp or ballast label matches S54.
Wattage: Confirm the fixture is rated for 100W.
Base Type: Confirm the socket matches E39 Mogul Screw.
Ballast Compatibility: This lamp requires an HPS-rated ballast and ignitor. It will not operate on a metal halide or mercury vapor ballast.
Burn Position: HPS lamps are not position-sensitive — no orientation restriction.
Physical Fit: Confirm lamp shape (ED23.5), length (7.75" MOL), and clearance against the existing lamp or fixture manual.
Confirm order code 61368 (GE LU100/SBY/XL/ECO) exactly matches the lamp or ballast label on your existing fixture before purchasing a replacement.
Case pack quantity is 12; confirm this meets your order needs.

Safety and Handling Guidelines

Correct Ballast Required: Use only with an HPS-compatible ballast and ignitor rated for this lamp. An incompatible ballast can cause lamp failure or fixture damage.
Vacuum Jacket: This is a vacuum jacket lamp and may implode if broken. Wear safety glasses and gloves when installing or removing the lamp, and allow it to cool fully first.
Sodium Content: The lamp contains sodium — avoid skin contact with broken pieces (chemical burn risk).
Warm-Up / Restrike: Per GE, HPS lamps take about 3–4 minutes to reach 90% light output after starting, and about 1 minute after a brief power interruption.
Approved Fixtures Only: Install only in fixtures rated for the listed lamp type, wattage, and operating position; do not use if the outer glass is scratched or broken.
Mercury Content: Contains mercury. Do not dispose of in regular trash; recycle through an approved lamp recycling program in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations.

Compliance

Ecolux® lamps use a lead-free base and pass TCLP per the GE catalog, which can lower disposal costs.
Contains mercury — subject to applicable lamp recycling and disposal regulations. California, Washington, and other states may have mandatory take-back or handling fee requirements.
Verify additional certifications (UL, Title 20, Prop 65) with the GE specification sheet prior to use in regulated installations.
