Philips 400W High Pressure Sodium Lamp

The Philips C400S51/ALTO NC is a 400W high pressure sodium lamp built for indoor and outdoor fixtures. It delivers 50000 lumens at a warm 2100K color temperature. The ED18 bulb shape and universal burning position suit street, area and industrial lighting installations. It is rated for 30000 hours of service life.

Mogul Screw Base with Clear Glass Housing

A Mogul Screw (E39) base fits standard industrial sockets without adapters. The clear glass envelope provides a 360 degree beam angle for broad light distribution. The bulb measures 2 1/4 inches in diameter and 9 3/4 inches overall length. It is approved for enclosed fixtures but is not shatter-resistant.

120V Operation with Fixed Output

The lamp runs on 120V supply and draws 400W continuously. It is not dimmable, so light output and power draw remain constant during operation. High pressure sodium technology produces minimal visible color shift over the rated life. The ANSI S51 code ensures compatibility with matching ballasts.
