Sylvania METALARC PRO-TECH 64417 (MP100/U/MED) Lamp — 100W | 3000K Warm White | 8,500 Lumens | Protected E26 Medium Screw Base

The Sylvania METALARC® PRO-TECH® 64417 (MP100/U/MED) Lamp is a commercial-grade, high-performance Pulse-Start Metal Halide (PSMH) bulb engineered for open or enclosed downlights, retail public showrooms, indoor gymnasiums, and outdoor commercial security area floodlights. Delivering a bright 8,500 initial lumens of crisp 3000K warm white light across a 75 CRI color tracking profile, this specialized 100-watt bulb utilizes an advanced quartz arc tube enclosed by a protective glass shroud wrapper. This integrated shield earns an open-fixture safety classification of ANSI M90/O, allowing users to safely mount the capsule directly into standard **E26 Medium Screw sockets** across universal burn orientations without requiring a tempered glass lens cover.

ADL Supply Expert Application & Replacement Guide

The Sylvania Metalarc® Pro-Tech® MP100/U/MED linear HID bulb is an industrial property maintenance baseline specified heavily across commercial recessed downlights, outdoor perimeter wall packs, canopy fixtures, and small-can high-bay footprints. By incorporating a structural internal glass containment shroud surrounding the inner quartz arc core, this Pro-Tech® module isolates extreme operational pressures. This specific safety layout shields local fixtures from thermal stress in the rare event of an end-of-life cycle burst, making it completely compliant with national electrical codes for unshielded open-luminaires.

Critical E26 Medium Base Identification and Pulse-Start Ballast Mandates: Procurement teams and electrical crews executing site retrofits must verify mechanical layout sizing boundaries closely prior to checkout: this 100W lamp features a standard E26 Medium Screw Base—not a large mogul EX39 base. Attempting to fit this medium screw base component into a mogul-sized canopy track will result in a severe layout socket spatial conflict.

Additionally, this high-intensity tube relies on modern **Pulse-Start HID engineering matching ANSI code M90**. It requires an ignitor circuit built into the host ballast line to inject a high-voltage starting pulse across the electrodes. It is completely incompatible with legacy M98 probe-start magnetic ballasts. Ensure the lamp body is fully torqued flush into its 4kV pulse-rated porcelain socket to resist micro-arcing fields from high industrial building vibrations.

Operation, Safety & Mounting Compliance

Pulse-Start Operational Efficiency Tuning

Compared to legacy probe-start systems that use an auxiliary starter electrode to slowly force a breakdown path across cold gases, this pulse-start module utilizes a high-voltage starting ignitor stroke. This method injects high open-circuit striking frequencies to cleanly ionize the inner chamber gas columns instantly. This advanced solid-state ignition path prevents visual blackening at the filament borders, resulting in a tighter lumen maintenance tracking curve and faster hot-restrike stabilization periods during local grid voltage drops.
