Blown Tubular Bulb with E39 Base

Blown Tubular Bulb with EX39 Base

Mogul

Illuminate large warehouses, factories, and arenas with the bright, white light of these metal halide bulbs. Brightness is measured in lumens; the higher the lumens, the brighter the bulb. Color rendering index (CRI) is a measurement on a scale of 0-100 of how accurately the light from a bulb represents an object's true colors; the higher the number, the more natural the colors appear. Any CRI value over 80 will show colors true to life. A bulb’s estimated yearly cost is based on 3 hours of usage per day at $0.11 per kWh. They cannot be sold to Canada because they exceed local regulatory limits on mercury.

Bulbs with an EX39 base number will not burst when they fail.

Pulse-start bulbs restart nearly twice as fast as probe-start bulbs.

Metal Halide Light Bulbs for High-Pressure Sodium Lights

Blown Tubular Bulb with E39 Base

Switch from the yellow light of high-pressure sodium to the white light of metal halide without changing ballasts. Brightness is measured in lumens; the higher the lumens, the brighter the bulb. Color rendering index (CRI) is a measurement on a scale of 0-100 of how accurately the light from a bulb represents an object's true colors; the higher the number, the more natural the colors appear. Any CRI value over 80 will show colors true to life. A bulb’s estimated yearly cost is based on 3 hours of usage per day at $0.11 per kWh. Bulbs cannot be sold to Canada because they exceed local regulatory limits on mercury content.
