GE 41829 MVR1000/C/U/40

GE 41829 MVR1000/C/U/40 — 1000W Export-Base Multi-Vapor Metal Halide Lamp

The GE MVR1000/C/U/40 (order code 41829) is a 1000-watt export-base Multi-Vapor® metal halide lamp with a BT56 bulb and E40 Export Mogul Screw base, designed as a direct replacement lamp for HID fixtures built around a M47 ANSI ballast circuit.

Technical Specifications

Product Overview

The GE MVR1000/C/U/40 is a 1000-watt export-base Multi-Vapor® metal halide lamp finished in coated glass, rated at 65 CRI and 3700K color temperature. It ships with a BT56 bulb envelope on a E40 Export Mogul Screw base and is built to operate on a M47 ANSI-type metal halide ballast.

This is a standard GE Multi-Vapor® metal halide lamp from the non-Pulsearc family, widely deployed as a maintenance replacement in existing commercial and industrial HID fixtures already wired for a probe-start or standard M-type ANSI ballast. It is a common stock replacement lamp for parking lot, warehouse, and general area lighting fixtures already in the field.

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.

At 11,000H/15,000V hours rated life and 96,600H/10,500V initial lumens, this lamp is intended as a like-for-like replacement for GE order code 41829 — confirm the code printed on your existing lamp or fixture ballast label matches before ordering.

Compatible Applications

• Fixtures wired for a M47 ANSI-type metal halide ballast circuit
• E40 Export Mogul Screw socket fixtures rated for 1000W metal halide 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 M47 — 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 (E40) and burning position (U — Universal (any burning position)) match your fixture — operating a lamp outside its rated position can shorten lamp life.
• GE lists a restricted/special fixture designation (“S”) for this lamp — verify fixture enclosure and orientation requirements with GE documentation before ordering.
• 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.
• The GE catalog prints the 41829 initial lumen rating as 96,600H/10,500V; the V value appears to be a typo (the domestic MVR1000/C/U lists 105,000V). Confirm the vertical initial lumen rating with GE before relying on it.
• Confirm order code 41829 (GE MVR1000/C/U/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

• 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.

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.
