Product Overview

The GE 23832 Q1500T3/CL 277 is a double-ended quartz halogen lamp intended for fixtures engineered around a 1500W, 277V T3 light source. Its compact clear tubular envelope and R7s recessed single-contact ends allow the lamp to fit specialized high-output luminaires with matching sockets and thermal ratings.

This lamp must operate horizontally. Installing it in an unsupported position can affect performance, lamp life, and safety. Its 6.25-inch light-center length and 0.37-inch diameter should be checked against the existing lamp and fixture before replacement.

The manufacturer classifies this product as a halogen lamp and does not identify it as a dedicated infrared heating lamp. Do not assume compatibility with food-warming, curing, thermal-processing, or infrared equipment unless the equipment manufacturer specifically lists GE 23832 or Q1500T3/CL 277 as an approved lamp.
