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.
Compatible Applications
- Commercial and industrial fixtures specifically rated for Q1500T3/CL 277 lamps
- High-output luminaires using 277V, 1500W double-ended quartz halogen sources
- Professional fixtures with R7s recessed single-contact sockets
- Equipment requiring a 6.25-inch light-center length and horizontal lamp operation
