250W metal halide lamp with an E40 Goliath screw base and clear tubular outer bulb. Producing approximately 20,500 lumens of natural daylight 4000K illumination, this HID lamp is ideal for warehouses, factories, workshops, security lighting, industrial yards, and commercial outdoor applications.
What it is
The 250W E40 Tubular Metal Halide Lamp is a high-intensity discharge (HID) lamp designed to deliver bright, natural daylight illumination with excellent colour rendering for commercial, industrial, and outdoor lighting applications.
Its clear tubular outer bulb maximises light transmission and reflector efficiency, while the E40 Goliath Screw base provides secure installation into compatible metal halide luminaires. Producing approximately 20,500 lumens at 4000K, this lamp delivers crisp, natural white light that offers significantly better colour rendering than high-pressure sodium lamps, making it ideal for applications where colour recognition and visibility are important.
Unlike self-ballasted lamps, this metal halide lamp requires compatible HID control gear, including a ballast and ignitor, for safe and correct operation.
Use Cases / Applications
Ideal for commercial, industrial, and retail lighting applications, including:
- Warehouses
- Workshops
- Factory interiors
- Industrial yards
- High-bay lighting
- Security lighting
- Commercial buildings
- Agricultural buildings
- Loading bays
- Exhibition halls
- Manufacturing facilities
- Existing luminaires designed for 250W E40 Metal Halide lamps
Key Benefits
- Produces approximately 20,500 lumens
- Natural daylight 4000K illumination
- Excellent colour rendering (CRI ≥60)
- Long rated life of approximately 12,000 hours
- Clear tubular bulb maximises reflector efficiency
- E40 Goliath Screw base suits compatible metal halide luminaires
- Excellent replacement for commercial and industrial installations
- Ideal where colour recognition is important
Metal halide lamps generate light through an electrical discharge inside a metal halide arc tube. Compared to high-pressure sodium lamps, they produce a whiter, more natural light with significantly improved colour rendering, making them well suited to warehouses, factories, industrial facilities, and commercial lighting applications.
Safety Compliance
- Requires compatible 250W metal halide ballast and ignitor
- Must not be connected directly to mains voltage
- Allow sufficient warm-up time before reaching full brightness
- Hot restrike may require a cooling period before restarting
- Install only in luminaires designed for 250W metal halide lamps
- Isolate power before installation or replacement
- Dispose of responsibly through an approved HID lamp recycling programme due to its mercury content
