GE Protected
Metal Halide Lamps
Suitable for use in Open Luminaires and are
marked with the /O Luminaire Code as specified
in ANSI C78.380, High-intensity Discharge Lamps,
Method of Designation.
Available in Ceramic Metal Halide, MXR and MPR
Designed to meet the containment test specified in
ANSI C78.389
EX39 Base
E39 Base
The EX39 base has an extended center terminal that
can reach the center contact of an EX39 socket.
Standard E39
mogul base
Intended primarily for use in open luminaires
but may also be operated in enclosed luminaires.
MPR lamps employ a quartz shroud that surrounds
the arc tube to reduce the potential risk to persons
and property in the unlikely case of an arc tube rupture.
GE’s protected Ceramic Metal Halide and Quartz MPR lamps
are equipped with an EX39 exclusionary base:
GE’s EX39 based lamps are fully compatible for new and
renovated Metal Halide installations that fall under the
jurisdiction of the 2005 and later National Electric Code (NEC)
For more information on the 2005 NEC requirements and
implications for certain metal halide lamps refer to the
guidelines in NEMA LSD25 and NEMA LSD31.
EX39 Socket
Additional ceramic material around the
center contact keeps standard E39 mogul base
from seating and making contact
ED17 Med
BD17 Med
Open-rated ED17
lamps have a max.
bulb neck diameter of
31.5mm (~1.24”)
Enclosed-rated BD17
lamps have a min. bulb
neck diam. of 31mm
(~ 1.34”)
GE MXR protected metal halide lamps employ E26 medium bases:
GE’s MXR protected lamps are designed with a narrow neck
ED17 bulb that have a maximum neck diameter of 31.5mm
(~1.24”) and can be distinguished from GE’s enclosed-rated
MXR lamps which uses a BD17 bulb that have a minimum
neck diameter of 34mm (~1.34”). GE’s MXR protected
MH lamps are in compliance with ANSI standard
C78.43 for single-ended MH lamps.
