GE Lighting CMH20/T/U/830 GU6.5 Kit

This kit contains a 20W ceramic metal halide lamp with a GU6.5 two-pin base. It produces 1615 lumens at a warm white 3000K colour temperature. The bulb has a T4 tubular shape and a clear finish. Average rated life is 12000 hours.

Suits fixtures needing a compact HID source

The universal operating position allows installation in any orientation. ANSI code C156/M156 ensures ballast compatibility. Not for buyers who need a shatter-resistant envelope. Not for fixtures that cannot accept a 2-3/64 inch overall length. Not for applications requiring a higher lumen output than 1615.

Direct replacement for matching GU6.5 sockets

Insert the two pins firmly until seated. Verify the ballast carries the C156 or M156 ANSI code before powering. A common issue is using an incorrect ballast which prevents starting. Ensure the fixture is rated for the lamp's operating temperature.

Questions about this item

Do I need a ballast rated for ANSI code C156/M156 to run this 20 W ceramic metal halide lamp?

Yes, the lamp carries ANSI code C156/M156, so the ballast must match that code for proper ignition and stable operation.

Can I keep my existing GU6.5 2-pin socket when replacing an older lamp with this one?

The lamp uses a standard GU6.5 2-pin base, so it fits the same socket as any other GU6.5 lamp regardless of age or technology.

How can I confirm the kit is delivering the rated 1615 lumens at 3000 K after installation?

Measure the light output with a calibrated lux meter at the working distance and compare the reading to the 1615 lm / 3000 K specification; a matching result shows the lamp is operating as intended.
