Product Overview
The GE 16452 Q100/MC Quartzline Halogen Lamp is a 100-watt, 120-volt SSTV lamp delivering 1,550 initial lumens at 2950K with CRI 100. It features an E11 mini candelabra screw base and a frosted T-4 bulb, making it suitable for stage, studio, and theater fixtures that require a compact, medium-wattage halogen source with warm color temperature and excellent color rendering.
The CC-8 coiled coil filament provides stable, intense light output, while the 2,000-hour rated life significantly reduces maintenance frequency compared to shorter-life halogen lamps. The frosted finish helps diffuse light, reducing harsh shadows and hotspots in optical systems. This lamp is ideal for smaller ellipsoidal spotlights, accent fixtures, and display lighting in entertainment environments.

Compatibility & Replacement
Fixture type: This GE 16452 lamp fits professional stage and studio fixtures designed for an E11 mini candelabra screw base and 100W/120V halogen lamps. Common in smaller ellipsoidal spotlights, accent lights, and specialty luminaires from various manufacturers.
Base: E11 (Mini Candelabra Screw) – a smaller screw base than standard E26, commonly used in compact stage and display fixtures.
Ballast: No ballast required – operates directly on 120V mains power.
Before ordering, confirm:
- Base type – E11: Verify your fixture uses E11 mini candelabra screw lampholders (not E26, E12, or other bases).
- Voltage – 120V: Verify fixture and supply circuit are 120V.
- Physical dimensions: Confirm your fixture accepts a T-4 bulb with 2.813-inch MOL and 0.500-inch diameter.
- Fixture wattage rating: Ensure fixture is rated for at least 100W.
- Burn position: Consult your fixture documentation for approved lamp orientation (not specified by manufacturer).

Safety & Handling Notes
- High pressure warning – face shield required: Quartzline halogen lamps operate under high internal pressure. Always wear a face shield and protective gloves during handling and installation.
- No bare hands: Never touch the quartz envelope with bare skin. Oils cause hot spots leading to premature failure or lamp burst. Use clean gloves or a lint-free cloth.
- Do not exceed rated voltage: Operating above 120V dramatically shortens lamp life. Verify supply voltage before installing.
- Burn position: Observe the rated burn position as specified by your fixture manufacturer (not provided – consult fixture documentation).
- Extreme heat and UV output: Use only in approved enclosed luminaires with appropriate UV filtering.
- Allow complete cool-down before handling: Allow lamp to cool completely before relamping. Do not touch immediately after switching off.
- Follow your fixture manufacturer's service documentation for lamp replacement procedures.
