GE 31065 150W Ceramic Metal Halide

The GE 31065 is a 150 watt Ceramic Metal Halide bulb delivering 12900 lumens at a warm 3000K colour temperature. It uses ConstantColor CMH technology to maintain consistent light output over its 12000 hour rated life. A CRI of 80 provides good colour rendering for retail, warehouse or outdoor flood applications. The clear ED17 envelope suits enclosed fixtures rated for this ANSI type.

Check Fixture ANSI Code and Ballast

Before ordering, verify the existing fixture carries an ANSI M142/O designation and contains a compatible ballast for 150 watt ceramic metal halide operation. The lamp requires an E26 medium screw socket and must be installed in an enclosed fixture rated for open-rated lamps. Confirm the supply voltage matches the ballast specifications and that the fixture can accommodate the ED17 bulb dimensions.

Medium Screw Base and Clear Finish

The E26 medium screw base fits standard mogul sockets without adapters, simplifying direct replacement in compatible fittings. A clear finish maximises lumen delivery and optical control for reflector-based luminaires. The open-rated ANSI M142/O classification allows use in fixtures without additional lens shielding. No separate ignitor or capacitor is bundled; the lamp relies on the fixture's integrated ballast system.
