Technical Specifications

Product Overview

The GE LU150/MED/ECO is a 150-watt Ecolux® TCLP-compliant Lucalox® HPS lamp. It ships with a B17 bulb envelope on a E26 Medium Screw base and is built to operate on an HPS ballast rated ANSI S55. Output is 16,000 initial lumens (14,400 mean lumens) at 2000K and 22 CRI, with a warm amber HPS color.

GE's Ecolux® (/ECO) HPS lamps use a lead-free base and pass TCLP, which can lower disposal costs. Like all Lucalox® HPS lamps, they are universal-burn and suitable for open or enclosed fixtures.

Not recommended for: retail displays, color-critical inspection environments, or any application requiring CRI above 22.

Compatible Applications

• Typical uses (per GE): Industrial, roadway, security, and floodlighting.
• Fixtures wired for an HPS ballast rated ANSI S55 with a E26 Medium Screw socket.
• Direct replacement for existing 150W HPS lamps with the same base and ballast rating. Verify ballast compatibility before ordering.
• Burning position: U (Universal — any burning position).

Before Ordering — Verify

• ANSI / Ballast Code: Confirm the existing lamp or ballast label matches S55.
• Wattage: Confirm the fixture is rated for 150W.
• Base Type: Confirm the socket matches E26 Medium Screw.
• Ballast Compatibility: This lamp requires an HPS-rated ballast and ignitor. It will not operate on a metal halide or mercury vapor ballast.
• Burn Position: HPS lamps are not position-sensitive — no orientation restriction.
• Physical Fit: Confirm lamp shape (B17), length (5.75" MOL), and clearance against the existing lamp or fixture manual.
• Confirm order code 13252 (GE LU150/MED/ECO) 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

• Correct Ballast Required: Use only with an HPS-compatible ballast and ignitor rated for this lamp. An incompatible ballast can cause lamp failure or fixture damage.
• Vacuum Jacket: This is a vacuum jacket lamp and may implode if broken. Wear safety glasses and gloves when installing or removing the lamp, and allow it to cool fully first.
• Sodium Content: The lamp contains sodium — avoid skin contact with broken pieces (chemical burn risk).
• Warm-Up / Restrike: Per GE, HPS lamps take about 3–4 minutes to reach 90% light output after starting, and about 1 minute after a brief power interruption.
• Approved Fixtures Only: Install only in fixtures rated for the listed lamp type, wattage, and operating position; do not use if the outer glass is scratched or broken.
• Mercury Content: Contains mercury. Do not dispose of in regular trash; recycle through an approved lamp recycling program in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations.

Compliance

• Ecolux® lamps use a lead-free base and pass TCLP per the GE catalog, which can lower disposal costs.
