Part of GE's ConstantColor PulseArc CMH-TC family, this compact ceramic metal halide bulb delivers crisp, consistent white light ideal for retail accent lighting, gallery displays, hospitality settings, and other color-critical applications where precise illumination matters.

Performance specifications include 1,650 initial lumens, CRI 81, and a 12,000-hour rated life for enclosed fixture applications, with mean lumens of 1,090 and a nominal efficacy of 82 lumens per watt. The 3000K warm white color temperature produces an inviting soft white appearance, while the ceramic arc tube technology maintains superior color stability and consistency throughout the bulb's service life when compared to traditional quartz metal halide lamps.
