SYLVANIA 250 W metal halide lamp

The SYLVANIA 64457 M250W/U is a 250 watt metal halide bulb with a mogul base and ANSI code M58/E. It delivers 15000 lumens of clear white light at 4200 K correlated colour temperature and carries a rated life of 10000 hours. The lamp features a transparent finish with a lead-free welded base and lead-free glass construction.

Clear finish and lead-free build

The transparent envelope provides unrestricted light output for fixtures that rely on precise optical control. Lead-free welded base and glass reduce hazardous materials without changing electrical or photometric performance. These construction choices support durability and environmental compliance but do not alter the published lumen output, colour rendering index of 65 or rated lifetime.

Suited for industrial and outdoor fixtures

This lamp fits mogul-base sockets in high-bay, area and street lighting where 250 watt M58/E ballasts are specified. Buyers who need a different wattage, base type or ANSI code should look at other models. Installations requiring higher colour rendering or instant restrike capability will not be met by this metal halide design.

Questions about this item

How often will the 250 W metal halide lamp need replacing?

The rated life is 10000 hours, so plan on a new bulb once it reaches that point.

What limits continuous operation first?

The 10000 hour rated life is the primary limit; after that output drops and colour shifts.

How much heat and power does the 250 W bulb produce all day?

It draws 250 watts continuously and converts most of that into heat; ensure the fixture is rated for that load.
