The Sylvania 64826 (MCP39PAR20/U/830/FLPB) is a 39-watt POWERBALL® Ceramic Metalarc® pulse-start metal halide lamp built on Sylvania's ceramic arc tube platform for high color consistency and UV-stop protection. It delivers 2,000 initial lumens at 3000K with a 87 CRI rating, and is rated for open or enclosed fixtures on a 12,000-hour average life. This lamp is stocked by ADL Supply for commercial and industrial replacement programs.

Technical Specifications

Product Overview

The 64826 is part of Sylvania's Ceramic Metalarc PAR series, combining a ceramic pulse-start arc tube with an integral PAR20 reflector for directional applications. The ceramic arc tube construction holds CCT and CRI within tight tolerances across the rated life, addressing the color shift common to older quartz metal halide PAR lamps.

With a 30° FL beam and 5,000 MBCP, this lamp is engineered for open or enclosed fixtures and is a direct ECO-rated screw-in replacement in fixtures specified for the MCP39PAR20/U/830/FLPB ordering code.

Compatible Applications

• Track and display lighting in retail and showroom settings
• Accent and directional lighting in open reflector fixtures
• Museum and gallery lighting where high CRI is required
• Recessed and open-trim downlight fixtures rated for PAR lamps

Before Ordering – Verify

• Confirm the base/socket type (E26 Medium) matches your fixture before ordering — ceramic metal halide bases are not interchangeable across wattage tiers.
• Verify fixture rating — this lamp is rated for open or enclosed fixtures; installing an enclosed-only lamp in an open fixture (or vice versa) voids UV-stop protection.
• Confirm operating position (Universal) is compatible with the fixture's mounting orientation.
• Confirm the ordering code MCP39PAR20/U/830/FLPB matches the lamp specified on your fixture's ballast/label, as wattage and CCT variants share similar part numbers.

Safety and Handling Guidelines

• Allow the lamp to cool completely before handling or relamping — ceramic metal halide lamps operate at high internal pressure and temperature.
• Always disconnect power at the fixture or breaker before servicing.
• Do not operate this lamp outside its rated fixture type; operating an enclosed-rated lamp in an open fixture increases UV exposure risk if the arc tube ruptures.
• Handle by the base wherever possible; avoid touching the bulb with bare skin, as oils can shorten lamp life.
• Dispose of in accordance with local regulations for mercury-containing lamps (see Compliance).

Compliance

• Contains mercury; dispose of/recycle according to federal, state, and local regulations.
• ANSI-coded ballast compatible (see ANSI Code above) — confirm ballast compatibility before installation.
• RoHS-compliant construction as manufactured by Sylvania.
• UV-stop / shatter-resistant construction where applicable per fixture rating listed above.
