70W metal halide lamp with an E27 Edison Screw base and opal elliptical outer bulb. Producing approximately 5,600 lumens of natural daylight 4000K illumination, this HID lamp is ideal for retail lighting, warehouses, workshops, factories, security lighting, and commercial outdoor applications.
What it is
The 70W E27 Elliptical 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 retail lighting applications.
Its opal elliptical outer bulb provides soft, even light distribution, while the E27 Edison Screw (ES) base allows installation into compatible metal halide luminaires. Producing approximately 5,600 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
- Retail stores
- Showrooms
- Display lighting
- Security lighting
- Industrial yards
- Commercial buildings
- Agricultural buildings
- Exhibition halls
- Existing luminaires designed for 70W E27 Metal Halide lamps
Key Benefits
- Produces approximately 5,600 lumens
- Natural daylight 4000K illumination
- Excellent colour rendering (CRI ≥60)
- Long rated life of approximately 10,000 hours
- Opal elliptical bulb provides soft, even light distribution
- E27 Edison 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 retail, industrial, and display applications.
Safety Compliance
- Requires compatible 70W 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 70W metal halide lamps
- Isolate power before installation or replacement
- Dispose of responsibly through an approved HID lamp recycling programme due to its mercury content
