GE 88513 SPL1000/PAR64/840/HR/G38

GE 88513 SPL1000/PAR64/HR — 1000W Sports Lighting Metal Halide Lamp

The GE SPL1000/PAR64/HR (order code 88513) is a 1000-watt Sports Lighting metal halide lamp with a PAR64 bulb and G38 Recessed Single Contact base, designed as a direct replacement lamp for HID fixtures built around a HID ANSI ballast circuit.

Technical Specifications

Product Overview

The GE SPL1000/PAR64/HR is a 1000-watt Sports Lighting metal halide lamp finished in clear glass, rated at 80 CRI and 4000K color temperature. It ships with a PAR64 bulb envelope on a G38 Recessed Single Contact base and is built to operate on a HID ANSI-type metal halide ballast.

This lamp is part of GE's Sports Lighting family, built for stadium, arena, and large outdoor sports/area lighting fixtures where long-throw beam control and high lumen packages are required. Confirm the fixture's specific ballast/igniter system before ordering, as sports lighting fixtures are frequently built around dedicated HID ballast packages.

At 3,500 hours rated life and 63,000 initial lumens, this lamp is intended as a like-for-like replacement for GE order code 88513 — confirm the code printed on your existing lamp or fixture ballast label matches before ordering.

Compatible Applications

• Fixtures wired for a HID ANSI-type metal halide ballast circuit
• G38 Recessed Single Contact socket fixtures rated for 1000W metal halide lamps
• Stadium, arena, and large-scale outdoor sports/area floodlighting
• High-mast and wide-area security lighting requiring long beam throw
• Burning position: U (Universal (any burning position))

Before Ordering – Verify

• Confirm your fixture's ballast is rated ANSI type HID — GE metal halide ballasts are not interchangeable across different ANSI type codes, and pulse-start ignition systems are not interchangeable with probe-start ballast circuits; verify the ballast label before ordering.
• Confirm base type (G38) and burning position (U — Universal (any burning position)) match your fixture — operating a lamp outside its rated position can shorten lamp life.
• This lamp requires an enclosed fixture with a UV-absorbing outer lens or globe; it is not rated for open-fixture use.
• Confirm order code 88513 (GE SPL1000/PAR64/HR) exactly matches the lamp or ballast label on your existing fixture before purchasing a replacement.
• Case pack quantity is 1; confirm this meets your order needs.

Safety and Handling Guidelines

• Contains mercury — dispose of in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations; do not place in regular household trash. Use a certified lamp recycler where required.
• Always de-energize the fixture and allow the lamp to cool completely before relamping or servicing.
• Metal halide lamps carry a small risk of non-passive (violent) failure at end of life or if operated past rated life; use only in a fixture with the enclosure/containment specified by the fixture manufacturer.
• After a power interruption, allow the lamp to cool before it will restrike and return to full output — this is normal metal halide behavior, not a defect.
• Do not operate this lamp in an open fixture — open-fixture operation of an enclosed-fixture-rated lamp can expose users to UV radiation and increases the risk of injury if the lamp fails.

Compliance

• Contains mercury; recycle/dispose of per applicable RoHS, EPA, and state lamp-disposal regulations.
• Manufactured to GE's published ANSI lamp/ballast standard for the listed ballast type.
