Product Overview
The GE 41729 EPT is a specialty Quartzline Multi-Mirror MR16 lamp intended for precision optical equipment rather than general illumination. Its low-voltage design, compact reflector, and defined working distance support controlled light delivery in fiber-optic and color-printer systems.
The lamp is rated at 10,000 initial lumens and 2,900 center beam candlepower. Correct fixture, power-supply, burn-position, and enclosure compatibility are essential for safe operation and expected performance.
Compatible Applications
- Fiber-optic illumination systems
- Color-printer equipment
- Specialty projection and optical equipment designed for ANSI EPT lamps
- OEM equipment requiring a 42W, 10.8V MR16 GX5.3 lamp
Before Ordering – Verify
- Confirm ANSI code EPT and GE product code 41729.
- Verify the equipment supplies 10.8V and does not exceed 110% of rated voltage.
- Confirm the socket is GX5.3 two-pin; similar bi-pin bases are not automatically interchangeable.
- Use only in an enclosed fixture rated for this product.
- Confirm the required burn position is horizontal ±15° or base down.
- Verify the 1.5-inch working distance and MR16 dimensions fit the optical system.
Safety and Handling Guidelines
- Turn power off before inspection, installation, or removal.
- Allow the lamp and fixture to cool completely before handling.
- Keep combustible materials away from the lamp.
- Do not use the lamp if the outer glass is scratched or broken.
- Dispose of a broken lamp in a closed container.
- Avoid direct contact with water, liquids, or metal while the lamp is operating.
