Philips C150S55/M High Pressure Sodium Lamp

This Philips C150S55/M is a high pressure sodium lamp with a BD17 bulb shape and a medium screw E26 base. It produces 16,000 lumens at a warm 2100K colour temperature with a CRI of 17. The clear glass bulb operates universally in enclosed fixtures for indoor or outdoor use. It is suited for users needing high-output sodium lighting in compatible fixtures.

E26 Base and 62V Operating Voltage Limits

The lamp requires a medium screw E26 socket and a ballast matched to its 62V operating voltage and ANSI S55 code. It is not dimmable and must be used in enclosed fixtures rated for high pressure sodium types. The 360-degree beam angle suits omnidirectional fixtures only. Buyers without a compatible HID ballast or enclosed fixture cannot use this lamp.

150.6 Watts and 24,000 Hour Rated Life

The lamp consumes 150.6 watts and carries a rated life of 24,000 hours. This wattage and lifespan determine whether it matches the fixture's power rating and the user's maintenance schedule. Verify that the ballast and fixture are rated for this specific power level before installation.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 150 W version or a different wattage?

The lamp is rated at 150.6 W; select this version only if your ballast and fixture are designed for a 150 W high-pressure sodium lamp.

What does 16,000 lumens actually deliver in a real installation?

The lamp produces 16,000 lm at 2100 K with a CRI of 17, giving warm golden light suitable for area lighting rather than colour-critical tasks.

How does the ANSI S55 code limit what ballasts I can use?

ANSI S55 identifies the lamp as a 150 W high-pressure sodium type requiring a matching S55 ballast and a medium screw (E26) base; it also confirms 62 V operating voltage and universal burning position.
