Product Overview

The GE LU1000/40 is a 1000-watt export-base Lucalox® high pressure sodium (HPS) lamp. It ships with a E25 bulb envelope on a E40 Export Mogul Screw base and is built to operate on an HPS ballast rated ANSI S52. Output is 130,000 initial lumens (117,000 mean lumens) at 2100K and 22 CRI, with a warm amber HPS color.

GE's Lucalox® HPS line offers very high efficacy and low operating cost, with over 90% lumen maintenance at 50% of life. It is a universal-burn lamp that can be operated in any position and used in open or enclosed fixtures.

Export-base lamp: GE identifies lamps ending in "/40" as export-only lamps with a non-domestic (non-U.S.) E40 base that comply with IEC electrical standards. They are not intended for use in the United States due to potential shock hazard.

Not recommended for: retail displays, color-critical inspection environments, or any application requiring CRI above 22.

Compatible Applications

Typical uses (per GE): Industrial, roadway, security, and floodlighting.
Fixtures wired for an HPS ballast rated ANSI S52 with a E40 Export Mogul Screw socket.
Direct replacement for existing 1000W HPS lamps with the same base and ballast rating. Verify ballast compatibility before ordering.
Burning position: U (Universal — any burning position).

Before Ordering — Verify

ANSI / Ballast Code: Confirm the existing lamp or ballast label matches S52.
Wattage: Confirm the fixture is rated for 1000W.
Base Type: Confirm the socket matches E40 Export Mogul Screw.
Ballast Compatibility: This lamp requires an HPS-rated ballast and ignitor. It will not operate on a metal halide or mercury vapor ballast.
Burn Position: HPS lamps are not position-sensitive — no orientation restriction.
Physical Fit: Confirm lamp shape (E25), length (15.06" MOL), and clearance against the existing lamp or fixture manual.
Export-base lamp (E40) — not intended for use in the United States due to potential shock hazard; confirm your socket is E40 and your installation is outside North America before ordering.
Confirm order code 44059 (GE LU1000/40) exactly matches the lamp or ballast label on your existing fixture before purchasing a replacement.
Case pack quantity is 6; confirm this meets your order needs.

Safety and Handling Guidelines

Correct Ballast Required: Use only with an HPS-compatible ballast and ignitor rated for this lamp. An incompatible ballast can cause lamp failure or fixture damage.
Vacuum Jacket: This is a vacuum jacket lamp and may implode if broken. Wear safety glasses and gloves when installing or removing the lamp, and allow it to cool fully first.
Sodium Content: The lamp contains sodium — avoid skin contact with broken pieces (chemical burn risk).
Warm-Up / Restrike: Per GE, HPS lamps take about 3–4 minutes to reach 90% light output after starting, and about 2 minutes after a brief power interruption.
Approved Fixtures Only: Install only in fixtures rated for the listed lamp type, wattage, and operating position; do not use if the outer glass is scratched or broken.
Mercury Content: Contains mercury. Do not dispose of in regular trash; recycle through an approved lamp recycling program in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations.

Compliance

Contains mercury — subject to applicable lamp recycling and disposal regulations. California, Washington, and other states may have mandatory take-back or handling fee requirements.
Verify additional certifications (UL, Title 20, Prop 65) with the GE specification sheet prior to use in regulated installations.
