Frequently Asked Questions
What base type does the MVR250/U use?
It uses an E25 (mogul) base, which is standard for high-wattage HID fixtures in commercial and industrial settings.
What kind of ballast does this bulb require?
It requires a compatible high pressure sodium ballast rated for 1000 watts. It cannot be used on standard household circuits or with incompatible ballast types.
Is this bulb suitable for color-critical applications?
No. With a color rendering index (CRI) of 22 and a 2100K warm color temperature, it produces a characteristic amber-yellow light best suited for area illumination rather than tasks requiring accurate color reproduction.
How many bulbs are included in this pack?
This is a six-pack, providing replacements or coverage for multiple fixtures at a lower per-unit cost.
What is the warm-up time for this bulb?
Like all high pressure sodium lamps, the MVR250/U requires several minutes to reach full brightness after being switched on, which is typical for HID technology.
