Product Overview
GE LED35ED17/740 27602 — 35W LED HID Replacement Lamp, ED17, 4000K, E26 Medium Base, Ballast Bypass Type B
The GE LED35ED17/740 (Order Code 27602) is a 35-watt LED HID replacement lamp from GE/Current Lighting Solutions, designed as a Type B ballast-bypass retrofit for 70W HPS or 100W metal halide fixtures. This ED17 corn-cob style lamp uses an E26 medium base and matches the ANSI length and diameter of the HID lamp it replaces, with omnidirectional light output for compatibility with existing fixture optics. With 4000K neutral white color temperature, CRI greater than 70, 5,000 initial lumens, 143 LPW efficacy, and a rated life of 50,000 hours, this lamp delivers 3.3x longer life than metal halide while using significantly less energy. cULus certified, Damp location rated. The existing fixture must be rewired to bypass the ballast. Sold 3 per carton. Verify ballast bypass wiring and voltage range before ordering.

Product Overview
The GE LED35ED17/740 is a Type B ballast-bypass LED lamp engineered to directly replace a 70W HPS or 100W metal halide HID lamp, requiring the existing fixture to be rewired to bypass the ballast entirely. This eliminates the ongoing cost and hassle of ballast replacement and maintenance, while delivering 3.3 times longer service life than metal halide and using significantly less energy for comparable light output. This lamp uses a standard E26 medium screw base, the smallest base/shape combination in the GE LED HID lineup, and is the neutral 4000K option in this wattage and replacement tier.
GE's proprietary active cooling design enables this lamp's compact construction, with omnidirectional light distribution similar to traditional HID lamps. Note that this SKU does not support dimming of any kind, including external Variac control — unlike most other lamps in the broader GE LED HID lineup, this older-catalog 35W ED17 series is intended for fixed-output operation only.
Compatible Applications
- Low-wattage HID retrofit projects — Direct ballast-bypass replacement for 70W HPS or 100W metal halide fixtures with an E26 medium base socket.
- Area, decorative post-top, and general-purpose fixtures — Where ballast bypass wiring is permitted and the fixture uses an E26 socket.
- Commercial and light industrial facilities — Seeking energy savings in fixed-output, lower-wattage HID applications.
Before Ordering — Verify
- Ballast Bypass Required: The existing fixture must be rewired to bypass the ballast entirely — this is a Type B lamp, not a plug-and-play ballast-compatible retrofit.
- Base Type: Confirm your fixture uses an E26 medium socket.
- Input Voltage: Confirm your circuit falls within 120–277V.
- Existing HID Wattage: Confirm you are replacing a 70W HPS or 100W metal halide lamp.
- Dimming: This lamp does not support dimming in any configuration.
- Physical Fit: Confirm 5.4" MOL and 2.6" diameter fit within your fixture housing, with a minimum compartment volume of 78 in³ (approximately 3.5" x 3.5" x 6.5").
- DLC Status: This SKU is not DLC qualified per manufacturer data; do not specify it where DLC listing is required for utility rebates.
- Carton Quantity: Minimum order quantity is 3 units (1 carton).
Safety and Installation Guidelines
- Disconnect power before installing or servicing.
- Qualified Electrician Required: Ballast bypass wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician familiar with rewiring HID fixtures for Type B LED lamp operation.
- No Dimming: Do not attempt to connect this lamp to any dimming control, including external Variac devices.
- Damp Location Use: Confirm fixture rating matches installation environment; not rated for hazardous or air-tight explosive locations.
Compliance
- cULus listed. Not DLC qualified per manufacturer data.
- RoHS compliant — contains no lead or mercury. No mercury-related shipping restrictions apply.
- Covered by U.S. Patents 10788163 and 10508776 (and potentially other pending applications).
- 5-year limited warranty.
