Product Overview
GE Current 22635 LED80ED23.5/740 – 80W LED HID Replacement Lamp, 4000K, 12,000 lm, EX39, 120‑277V, DLC Qualified
The GE Current 22635 (LED80ED23.5/740) is a Type B (ballast‑bypass) LED HID retrofit lamp designed for general‑purpose (ordinary) indoor and outdoor locations. At 80W it delivers 12,000 lumens at 4000K neutral white, directly replacing 150W high‑pressure sodium or 250W metal halide HID lamps per NEMA LS 20037‑2024. It operates on 120‑277V line power, includes built‑in 6kV surge protection, and is DLC qualified for utility rebate eligibility. The EX39 mogul base fits standard industrial sockets, and the compact ED23.5 form factor matches ANSI HID profiles for easy drop‑in retrofitting. With a 50,000‑hour L70 rated life, it delivers approximately 2.5× the service life of the HID lamps it replaces.

Key Features & Benefits
- Active Cooling Design: Proprietary internal fan circulates air for optimal thermal management, enabling high lumen output from a compact ED23.5 envelope.
- Omnidirectional Light Distribution: 360° beam pattern mimics traditional HID lamps for even illumination in existing reflectors and optics.
- Open and Closed Rated: Suitable for use in both open and enclosed fixtures (ordinary locations only – not rated for airtight explosive/hazardous environments).
- Wide Ambient Range: Operates reliably from ‑40°C to +50°C, making it ideal for unconditioned indoor spaces and outdoor installations.
- Built‑In Surge Protection: 6kV rating protects against line‑voltage transients common in industrial and outdoor lighting circuits.
- Energy & Maintenance Savings: Uses 60‑75% less energy than the HID lamps it replaces and lasts over 3x longer than traditional metal halide (50,000 vs. 15,000 hours).
- Complete Retrofit Kit: Includes a tether kit for secure installation; inline misapplication fuse kit is also provided.
- DLC Qualified: Eligible for utility rebates – confirm current status at designlights.org/search.

Product Overview
The GE Current ED23.5 series combines the latest in active‑cooling LED technology with a form factor that matches ANSI HID dimensions. This 4000K neutral‑white version provides excellent color rendering and visual clarity for warehouses, manufacturing floors, and outdoor area lighting. At 12,000 lumens, it comfortably replaces 150W HPS or 250W MH lamps, cutting energy consumption by more than half while dramatically extending relamping intervals. The included tether and fuse kits simplify installation, and the 6kV surge protection ensures durability in demanding electrical environments.
Typical Applications
- Industrial warehouses and distribution centers
- Manufacturing and assembly plants
- Retail big‑box stores and grocery high‑bays
- Parking garages and canopies
- Outdoor area lighting (perimeter, pathways, building facades)
- Cold storage and refrigerated warehouses (‑40°C rating)
- Fixture retrofits where HID ballasts are bypassed for maximum energy savings
- Utility‑rebate projects requiring DLC‑qualified products
Before Ordering – Verify
- Voltage: This lamp operates on 120‑277V only. It is not compatible with 277‑480V circuits. For 277‑480V equivalents, see SKU 93154642 (4000K) or 93154640 (5000K).
- This is a Type B lamp – the existing HID ballast must be physically bypassed or removed during installation.
- Confirm the fixture is rated for ordinary (non‑hazardous) damp locations. Do not use in airtight explosive or hazardous‑classified fixtures.
- Verify that the fixture interior can accommodate the ED23.5 form factor: MOL 7.8 in, diameter 3.7 in. Minimum compartment volume is approximately 367 in³ (e.g., 9 × 6 × 7 in).
- This lamp is suitable for both open and enclosed fixtures (ordinary locations).
- Do not connect to phase‑cut dimming circuits.
- For utility rebate eligibility, verify current DLC QPL status
Safety and Handling
Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local regulations. Always disconnect power at the circuit breaker and confirm the fixture is de‑energized before servicing or retrofitting. Allow the lamp to cool before handling. The fixture must be properly wired to bypass the existing ballast – failure to do so will damage the lamp and void the warranty.
