The Philips MHC150/U/M/3K is a 150W ceramic metal halide lamp engineered for commercial, retail, and industrial enclosed fixtures that demand reliable, high-output warm white illumination. Belonging to the Philips MasterColor ALTO line of ceramic metal halide lamps, this ED17 bulb delivers 14,000 initial lumens at a 3000K color temperature, producing a warm white light that enhances the appearance of merchandise, architectural surfaces, and interior spaces alike.

Built around a ceramic arc tube, the MHC150/U/M/3K achieves a CRI of 85 and maintains superior color stability over its rated life, making it well suited to applications where accurate, consistent color rendering is essential. The clear glass ED17 envelope and standard E26 medium screw base allow straightforward installation into a wide range of existing enclosed luminaires without adapter hardware.

With a rated average life of 16,000 hours, this ceramic metal halide lamp significantly reduces the frequency of relamping cycles, lowering long-term maintenance demands in high-use environments such as warehouses, showrooms, offices, and large-area commercial spaces. The lamp operates at 95V and is compatible with ballasts rated to ANSI code M142 or M102. As part of the Philips ALTO program, the MHC150/U/M/3K is TCLP-compliant, reflecting a commitment to reduced environmental impact. This lamp is rated for enclosed fixtures only and must be operated with a compatible pulse-start or approved metal halide ballast.
