250W high-pressure sodium tubular lamp with an E40 Goliath screw base. Producing approximately 33,000 lumens of amber 2000K illumination, this Philips HID lamp is ideal for roadway lighting, industrial yards, warehouses, security lighting, parking facilities, and municipal infrastructure.
What it is
The SON-T 250W E40 Tubular High-Pressure Sodium Lamp is a professional-grade high-intensity discharge (HID) lamp engineered for efficient, long-life illumination across municipal, industrial, commercial, and outdoor environments.
Its clear T46 tubular outer bulb maximises light transmission and reflector performance, while the E40 Goliath screw base provides a secure connection in compatible heavy-duty luminaires. Producing approximately 33,000 lumens of characteristic amber 2000K illumination, this lamp delivers exceptional efficiency and reliability for large-area lighting where visibility, operating life, and low maintenance are essential.
Unlike conventional household lamps, this HPS lamp requires compatible 250W HID control gear, including a ballast and ignitor, for safe and correct operation.
