Product Overview
The GE MVR1650/HOR is a 1650-watt Sports Lighting metal halide lamp finished in clear glass, rated at 65 CRI and 3200K color temperature. It ships with a BT56 bulb envelope on a Position-Oriented Mogul base and is built to operate on a M112 ANSI-type metal halide ballast.
This lamp is part of GE's Sports Lighting family, built for stadium, arena, and large outdoor sports/area lighting fixtures where long-throw beam control and high lumen packages are required. Confirm the fixture's specific ballast/igniter system before ordering, as sports lighting fixtures are frequently built around dedicated HID ballast packages.
At 3,000 hours rated life and 177,000 initial lumens, this lamp is intended as a like-for-like replacement for GE order code 25532 — confirm the code printed on your existing lamp or fixture ballast label matches before ordering.
Compatible Applications
- Fixtures wired for a M112 ANSI-type metal halide ballast circuit
- Position-Oriented Mogul socket fixtures rated for 1650W metal halide lamps
- Stadium, arena, and large-scale outdoor sports/area floodlighting
- High-mast and wide-area security lighting requiring long beam throw
- Burning position: HOR (Horizontal)
Before Ordering – Verify
- Confirm your fixture's ballast is rated ANSI type M112 — 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 25532 (GE MVR1650/HOR) 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
- 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.
