GE 26851 MVR400/U/ED28/R — 400W Chromafit Multi-Vapor Metal Halide Lamp (HPS Retrofit)

The GE MVR400/U/ED28/R (order code 26851) is a 400-watt Chromafit™ Multi-Vapor® metal halide lamp (HPS-retrofit) with a ED28 bulb and E39 Mogul Screw base, designed as a direct replacement lamp for HID fixtures built around a S51 ANSI ballast circuit.

Technical Specifications

Product Overview

The GE MVR400/U/ED28/R is a 400-watt Chromafit™ Multi-Vapor® metal halide lamp (HPS-retrofit) finished in clear glass, rated at 65 CRI and 4000K color temperature. It ships with a ED28 bulb envelope on a E39 Mogul Screw base and is built to operate on a S51 ANSI-type HPS ballast.

GE Chromafit™ Multi-Vapor® lamps are designed to convert high pressure sodium (HPS) sockets to white metal halide light. Per the GE catalog, they operate on standard HPS ballasts and auxiliary equipment and are intended for area lighting, industrial, and "people places" in enclosed fixtures.

At 15,000H/20,000V hours rated life and 33,100H/36,000V initial lumens, this lamp is intended as a like-for-like replacement for GE order code 26851 — confirm the code printed on your existing lamp or fixture ballast label matches before ordering.

Compatible Applications

• Fixtures wired for a S51 ANSI-type HPS ballast circuit
• E39 Mogul Screw socket fixtures rated for 400W HPS-retrofit lamps
• General commercial and industrial area lighting
• Parking lot, warehouse, and wall pack fixtures already equipped with a matching ballast
• Burning position: U (Universal (any burning position))

Before Ordering – Verify

• Confirm your fixture's ballast is rated ANSI type S51 — this HPS-retrofit lamp is for standard HPS ballast circuits; verify the ballast label before ordering.
• Not for use on magnetic-regulator or electronic-regulator ballast systems (per GE footnote) — using this lamp on those systems can overheat the ballast.
• Confirm base type (E39) and burning position (U — Universal (any burning position)) 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 26851 (GE MVR400/U/ED28/R) 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.
