Product Overview
![]()
The Sylvania Metalarc® Powerball® Ceramic 64881 Lamp is a commercial-grade, 39-watt ceramic metal halide (CMH) long-neck reflector floodlight engineered for high-intensity retail displays, commercial accents, and premium architectural downlights. Delivering 2,300 initial lumens of comfortable 3000K warm white performance, this high-efficiency lamp projects a precise 30° flood beam spread yielding an impressive 8,000 center beam candlepower (CBCP). Outfitted with an industry-standard E26 medium screw base and an Ecologic® TCLP-compliant design, it features an ANSI M130/O open-fixture rating and an extended 12,000-hour rated average life for ultimate installation flexibility.

ADL Supply Expert Application & Replacement Guide
The Sylvania 64881 Metalarc Powerball Ceramic PAR30LN lamp is a premium retail and directional lighting standard specified for commercial automobile showrooms, fashion boutiques window displays, historical museum galleries, upscale hotel reception desks, and high-ceiling downlight canisters. Engineered with an advanced spherical ceramic arc tube nested tightly inside a rigid glass parabolic reflector, this system mitigates the heavy lumen depreciation and unwanted green shifts classic to old quartz-style metal halide elements—delivering smooth, color-consistent illumination (82 CRI) that draws visual target focus onto structural textures and high-end store merchandise.
Ballast Operational Parameters and Sizing Warnings: This commercial HID module carries a certified ANSI Open-Fixture Rating (M130/O). Because its thick, long-neck pressed glass lens provides integrated secondary explosion containment shielding over the pressurized internal chamber, it is fully approved for unshielded track heads as well as standard enclosed downlights. Field technicians must ensure the primary lines are driven by a low-frequency electronic ballast rated precisely for **39W ANSI M130 pulse-start operations** (such as the Sylvania Quicktronic QTP 1x39CMH series). Operating this component on mismatched wattages or vintage magnetic core/coil gear will induce catastrophic electrode erosion, rapid casing blackening, and instant blowout.

Verify Before Ordering
39W ANSI M130 Ballast Check & State Delivery Restrictions
This is a pulse-start ceramic metal halide module requiring a specialized low-frequency electronic ballast. It cannot run directly on unballasted 120V municipal circuits. Verify your track canisters are sized for a long-neck profile (PAR30LN) rather than a short-neck housing prior to finalizing your checkout cart.

Operation, Safety & Mounting Compliance
High-Pressure Warm-Up and Hot Restrike Windows
Following a cold start strike, this ceramic system requires an initialization window of 2 to 4 minutes to fully change state, stabilize internal fill gasses, and cast its exact calibrated spectral light output. If a voltage sag or power interruption breaks the circuit track during operational shifts, a mandatory hot restrike cool-down block of 7 to 15 minutes must be observed. Attempting to force an immediate strike will bypass internal thermal balances, preventing ignition until internal arc tube capsule pressures normalize safely.
UV Suppression and Casing Integrity Maintenance
The outer heavy-duty hard glass PAR30LN reflector housing incorporates advanced ultraviolet filtering properties. This structural screen severely cuts back shortwave UV rays, defending high-end fashion wear, gallery canvas prints, and boutique textile racks from early color fading or material yellowing. Never install or test a bulb if the front face glass becomes deeply scratched, cracked, or chipped, as structural fatigue removes the safety containment block. Turn off line breakers and allow a 15-minute resting cooldown block before touching components to prevent skin burns.
