Description

Product overview. Designed for professional replacement and maintenance work, the GE Lighting MXR70/C/U/MED Metal Halide Lamp helps electricians, property managers, and facility teams keep compatible fixtures operating as intended. Manufactured by GE Lighting, it is intended for use where the listed lamp format and fixture requirements align. The catalog information identifies the listed product configuration. These details matter because lamp wattage, base style, bulb shape, color characteristics, operating voltage, and ANSI requirements can affect both fit and performance. Confirm the existing lamp marking, fixture label, and ballast or driver requirements before installation.

Key Specifications

• Review the product name and fixture requirements before ordering.

Use these specifications as a matching guide, not as a substitute for the fixture manufacturer’s instructions. A lamp may appear physically similar while using a different electrical system, base configuration, starting method, or ballast designation. For commercial properties with multiple fixture types, recording the existing model number and fixture location can simplify future maintenance.

Where This Product Fits

This high-pressure sodium lamp is suited to compatible applications such as parking lots, roadways, security areas, warehouses, and exterior commercial sites. It can be useful for scheduled relamping, spot replacement, inventory standardization, and maintenance projects where the existing fixture remains serviceable. Property managers and maintenance teams should compare the old lamp’s complete code—not only its wattage—to reduce the risk of ordering an incompatible replacement.

Selection and Installation Considerations

Before purchase, verify the base, bulb envelope, wattage, voltage, and any listed ANSI or ballast requirements. Where color temperature or CRI is provided, consider matching nearby lamps to maintain a consistent appearance across the space. Where rated life is listed, remember that actual service life can vary with switching frequency, fixture temperature, ballast condition, supply voltage, and operating environment. Allow lamps and fixtures to cool before handling, and follow all manufacturer instructions. Wiring changes, ballast work, fixture modifications, and code-related installation should be handled by a licensed electrician.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a direct replacement for every similar-looking lamp?

No. Match the complete model, wattage, base, voltage, bulb shape, and any ANSI or ballast requirements.

Can I install it myself?

Simple lamp replacement may be appropriate when the fixture is de-energized and the replacement is confirmed compatible. Use a licensed electrician for wiring, ballast, socket, panel, or code-related work.

Can LED LYSI help verify compatibility?

Yes. Share the existing lamp and fixture information before ordering, especially for commercial quantities.
