Product Overview

The GE 13253 LU150/D/MED/ECO is a 150W 2000K Warm Amber GE Lucalox High Pressure Sodium lamp. Diffuse (D) lamps feature a coated outer envelope that softens and diffuses the arc tube light, reducing glare and providing a more uniform, comfortable illumination pattern for area and commercial applications.

HPS ballast required. This lamp must be operated on a compatible High Pressure Sodium ballast matched to ANSI code S55/O. HPS lamps are not interchangeable with metal halide or mercury vapor ballasts. Contains mercury — dispose per local regulations.

Applications

Outdoor area and street lighting – Roadways, parking lots, municipal streetlights, and perimeter security lighting.
Industrial and commercial high-bay – Warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and large indoor/outdoor commercial fixtures.
Retrofit and maintenance replacement – Verify ANSI code and wattage before ordering. HPS lamps require an HPS-rated ballast.

Safety and Installation

HPS ballast required. Operate only on a High Pressure Sodium ballast rated for ANSI S55/O. Do not use on MH or mercury vapor ballasts.
Allow warm-up time: 3–5 minutes for full output.
Hot restrike: Allow 10–20 minutes after switching off before restarting.
UV radiation: Use only in fixtures with UV-protective shielding. Do not operate with a broken or cracked outer envelope.
Mercury disposal: Contains mercury — dispose per local lamp recycling regulations.
