GE 45671 50W Metal Halide ED17 E26

The GE 45671 is a 50-watt metal halide lamp with an ED17 bulb shape and a medium E26 screw base. It produces a 3500K colour temperature and carries a rated life of 10000 hours. The hard glass coated finish suits both open and enclosed fixtures. This lamp is intended for general illumination where high intensity discharge output is required.

Indoor and outdoor fixtures needing 50W HID output

Buyers replacing existing M110 type lamps in compatible ballasted fixtures will find this a direct match. The CRI of 70 is adequate for area and security lighting but not for tasks demanding high colour fidelity. Shoppers requiring instant restrike, dimming capability or LED retrofit compatibility should consider alternative technologies. This bulb operates only on the correct ANSI M110 ballast.

3500K colour temperature defines the light

The 3500K rating delivers a neutral white tone that balances warmth and clarity for general purpose use. A CRI of 70 means colours appear moderately natural but with noticeable shifts compared to higher index sources. Fixtures must be rated for 50-watt metal halide operation and the E26 base must match the socket. Verify ballast type before installation.

Questions about this item

How do I install the GE 45671 50W Metal Halide bulb in an E26 socket?

Screw the medium E26 base firmly into the socket until the hard glass coated ED17 envelope seats securely; the step often missed is verifying the fixture is rated for 50W pulse-start M110 operation before powering on.

What maintenance will this 3500K CRI 70 bulb need over its 10000 hour life?

No routine maintenance is required; simply replace the unit once light output drops noticeably after the rated 10000 hours of operation in open or enclosed fixtures.

What limit appears first when the GE 45671 runs continuously at 50 watts?

The 10000 hour rated life is the primary limit; quartz metal halide technology gradually loses lumen output and colour stability until replacement is needed.
