Philips 175W Metal Halide Bulb

The Philips 287284 MH175/C/U is a 175 watt metal halide lamp delivering 14490 lumens at a 3700K colour temperature. It uses an E39 mogul screw base and an ED28 bulb shape for high-intensity discharge lighting applications. The rated life is 10000 hours with a colour rendering index of 70. This new bulb suits commercial and outdoor fixtures requiring cool white output.

Fixture and Ballast Compatibility

Verify that the existing fixture accepts an E39 mogul screw base and is rated for a 175 watt metal halide lamp. The ballast must be a switch-start type matched to this wattage and the ANSI code implied by the MH175 designation. Confirm the enclosure can accommodate the ED28 bulb dimensions and that the operating position is universal as indicated by the /U suffix.

Suits High-Bay and Area Lighting

This lamp suits warehouses, parking lots and sports facilities needing high lumen output from a single point source. It is not for buyers who want instant restrike after a power interruption or who need a higher colour rendering index for retail display. Installations requiring lower wattage or a different base type should look at alternative lamps.

Questions about this item

Does the Philips 287284 MH175/C/U bulb come with a ballast or must I supply my own?

This is a 175 watt metal halide lamp with an E39 mogul screw base; it requires a compatible ballast and fixture that are not included.

The listing mentions both 3700 K and 13700 K — which colour temperature should I expect?

The specification sheet states 3700 K; the 13700 K figure appears in the supplier title and is likely a typographical error.

With a rated 14490 lumen output, how bright will the lamp be in a typical high-bay fixture?

At 14490 lumens and 3700 K colour, the lamp delivers high-intensity cool white light suitable for warehouses or outdoor areas when paired with a proper ballast.
