Product Overview

The Sylvania 67508 LU150/55/MED is a professional-grade HPS replacement lamp engineered for outdoor and industrial lighting. At 150 watts, it delivers 16,000 initial lumens — strong efficacy for street, parking, and perimeter lighting as well as warehouse and industrial high-bay fixtures. The warm amber 2100K output is characteristic of High Pressure Sodium technology and is well suited for applications where visibility and energy efficiency take priority over color accuracy.

The ET23.5 bulb shape and E26 Medium Screw base make this a direct replacement in fixtures previously housing a standard 150W HPS lamp with the same base. This lamp operates at 55V — confirm your ballast is rated for this operating voltage before ordering. Universal burn position allows installation in any orientation. This lamp contains mercury and must be recycled per applicable regulations.

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

Compatible Applications

Outdoor area and street lighting — Roadways, parking lots, municipal streetlights, and perimeter security lighting.
Industrial and commercial high-bay — Warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and large indoor/outdoor commercial fixtures.
Retrofit and maintenance replacement — Direct replacement for existing 150W HPS lamps with E26 base and S55/O ANSI code. Verify ballast compatibility and operating voltage before ordering.

Before Ordering — Verify

ANSI / Lamp Code: Confirm the existing lamp or equipment manual matches S55/O.
Wattage: Confirm the fixture is rated for 150W.
Operating Voltage: Confirm the ballast and equipment support 55V lamp operation.
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: Fixture supports Universal operation — no restriction.
Physical Fit: Confirm lamp shape (ET23.5), length, diameter, and clearance against the existing lamp or fixture manual.

Safety and Handling Guidelines

Correct Ballast Required: Use only with an HPS-compatible ballast and ignitor rated for this lamp. Using an incompatible ballast can result in lamp failure or fixture damage.
High-Pressure Arc Tube: HPS lamps operate under high internal pressure. Always use appropriate eye protection when handling or replacing lamps. Allow lamps to cool fully before removal.
Warm-Up / Restrike Time: HID lamps require a warm-up period to reach full output. After a power interruption, allow the lamp to cool before restarting — a hot restrike attempt can damage the lamp or ballast.
Approved Fixtures Only: Install only in fixtures rated for the listed lamp type, wattage, and operating position.
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

Contains mercury — subject to applicable lamp recycling and disposal regulations. California, Washington, and other states may have mandatory take-back or handling fee requirements.
Verify RoHS compliance status, UL listing, Title 20, and Prop 65 requirements with the Sylvania manufacturer specification sheet prior to use in regulated installations.
