Philips MH400/U Metal Halide Lamp
This 400 W metal halide HID bulb delivers 39 000 lm at 4 000 K with a CRI of 65. The ED37 clear envelope measures 4 5/8 in diameter and 11 1/2 in overall length. A mogul screw E39 base fits standard industrial fixtures. Universal burning position allows installation in any orientation.
Replaces 400 W probe-start metal halide lamps
The MH400/U upgrades older probe-start 400 W metal halide lamps with the same mogul base and universal burn rating. Rated life reaches 20 000 hr, reducing relamp cycles in high-bay and area lighting. The jump is worth it when existing fixtures accept the ED37 envelope and the 360-degree beam pattern matches the optical design.
Mogul base E39 and universal burning constraints
The E39 mogul base limits use to fixtures wired for that socket; it will not fit medium-base or recessed sockets. Universal burning permits any tilt, but the lamp requires a compatible HID ballast rated for 400 W metal halide operation. Minimum starting temperature is -40 °F, so cold-weather starts are supported without auxiliary gear.

Questions about this item
Will the 11 1/2 in overall length and 4 5/8 in diameter ED37 bulb fit my mogul-base fixture?
Yes, the lamp measures 11 1/2 inches long and 4 5/8 inches wide, matching standard E39 mogul-base sockets built for ED37 envelopes.
Does the universal burning position let me install it base-up, base-down or horizontal without extra steps?
The MH400/U is rated for universal operation, so you can mount it in any orientation; just ensure the mogul screw seats fully before switching on.
When should I plan to replace the bulb given its 20,000 hour rated life and 39,000 lumen output?
Expect about 20,000 hours of use before lumen maintenance drops off; schedule replacement around that interval to maintain target light levels.
