Frequently Asked Questions
What base type does the Ushio BC9010 MHL-250 use?
It uses a recessed single contact R7s base, which is a standard double-ended base type commonly found in metal halide fixtures designed for this lamp style.
What is the rated lifespan of the Ushio BC9010 MHL-250?
The bulb has an average rated lifetime of 500 hours, which is typical for a 250W metal halide lamp used in professional or commercial lighting.
Can the Ushio MHL-250 be used in any 250W fixture?
No, it must be used in a fixture designed for a 250W metal halide bulb with an R7s base operating at 125V. Always verify your fixture's specifications before installing.
Does the clear finish affect the light output compared to a coated bulb?
The clear finish allows the full, unfiltered light output from the metal halide arc tube, producing a bright, crisp illumination without the diffusion that a coated bulb would provide.
