GE 18104 MVR175/HOR

GE 18104 MVR175/HOR — 175W High Output Multi-Vapor Metal Halide Lamp

The GE MVR175/HOR (order code 18104) is a 175-watt High Output / Extra High Output Multi-Vapor® metal halide lamp with a ED28 bulb and Position-Oriented Mogul base, designed as a direct replacement lamp for HID fixtures built around a M57 ANSI ballast circuit.

Technical Specifications

Product Overview

The GE MVR175/HOR is a 175-watt High Output / Extra High Output Multi-Vapor® metal halide lamp finished in clear glass, rated at 65 CRI and 4000K color temperature. It ships with a ED28 bulb envelope on a Position-Oriented Mogul base and is built to operate on a M57 ANSI-type metal halide ballast.

This High Output / Extra High Output variant is built for higher lumen output at the same or similar wattage class as the standard Multi-Vapor lamp, making it suited to larger high-bay, parking structure, and wide-area lighting applications where maximum light output per fixture matters.

At 10,000 hours rated life and 15,000 initial lumens, this lamp is intended as a like-for-like replacement for GE order code 18104 — confirm the code printed on your existing lamp or fixture ballast label matches before ordering.

Compatible Applications

• Fixtures wired for a M57 ANSI-type metal halide ballast circuit
• Position-Oriented Mogul socket fixtures rated for 175W metal halide lamps
• High-bay industrial and warehouse lighting
• Parking structure and large-area exterior lighting
• Burning position: HOR (Horizontal)

Before Ordering – Verify

• Confirm your fixture's ballast is rated ANSI type M57 — GE metal halide ballasts are not interchangeable across different ANSI type codes, and pulse-start ignition systems are not interchangeable with probe-start ballast circuits; verify the ballast label before ordering.
• Confirm base type (PosMog) and burning position (HOR — Horizontal) match your fixture — operating a lamp outside its rated position can shorten lamp life.
• This lamp requires an enclosed fixture with a UV-absorbing outer lens or globe; it is not rated for open-fixture use.
• Confirm order code 18104 (GE MVR175/HOR) exactly matches the lamp or ballast label on your existing fixture before purchasing a replacement.
• Case pack quantity is 12; confirm this meets your order needs.

Safety and Handling Guidelines

• Contains mercury — dispose of in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations; do not place in regular household trash. Use a certified lamp recycler where required.
• Always de-energize the fixture and allow the lamp to cool completely before relamping or servicing.
• Metal halide lamps carry a small risk of non-passive (violent) failure at end of life or if operated past rated life; use only in a fixture with the enclosure/containment specified by the fixture manufacturer.
• After a power interruption, allow the lamp to cool before it will restrike and return to full output — this is normal metal halide behavior, not a defect.
• Do not operate this lamp in an open fixture — open-fixture operation of an enclosed-fixture-rated lamp can expose users to UV radiation and increases the risk of injury if the lamp fails.

Compliance

• Contains mercury; recycle/dispose of per applicable RoHS, EPA, and state lamp-disposal regulations.
• Manufactured to GE's published ANSI lamp/ballast standard for the listed ballast type.
