Replacing Your Current Metal Halide Lamp?

Confirm the following before ordering to ensure a compatible replacement:

• ANSI code — M140, M90, or E: Verify your existing ballast carries M140, M90, or E ANSI designation for 100W ceramic metal halide. Do not install on incompatible ANSI ballasts even if wattage appears similar.
• Color temperature — 2900K warm white: If your current installation uses 3000K, 3500K, or 4000K lamps, confirm the slightly warmer 2900K tone aligns with your lighting design intent.
• Base type — E26 medium screw: Verify your fixture socket accepts E26 medium base lamps with brass construction rated for high-temperature operation.
• Fixture type: Rated for enclosed fixtures only. Verify fixture enclosure meets safety requirements for HID lamp operation.
• Burn position: Universal — no orientation restriction.
• Warm-up and re-ignition: Ceramic metal halide lamps require a warm-up period to reach full output and a cool-down period before re-striking after hot extinguishing.
• Voltage compatibility: Operating voltage 100V / 1.1A — verify ballast output matches lamp requirements.
